  • Questions of Stasis in a Post-Truth World

    Creator:
    Shepard, Bradley
    Abstract:
    Stasis theory has long stood as a foundational pillar of Western rhetoric. It is an integral component of the canon of invention, and has been in existence since the times of ancient Greek scholars. However, it is currently facing a substantive challenge to its efficacy and its very existence. This...

  • Surface composition age analysis of photo-oxidized polystyrene thin films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Silva, Nicholas A.
    Abstract:
    Polystyrene thin film surfaces are commonly used to study the interactions of macromolecules, such as proteins, with surfaces. Polystyrene films oxidized in UV light become more hydrophilic, however these surfaces have a limited shelf life because they are reduced over time. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of radiation...

  • Assessing Annelid Habitat Suitability in the Lower Klamath River Basin

    Creator:
    Corrigan, Rory
    Abstract:
    This study assessed suitability of annelid habitats under current baseflow conditions and evaluated the mobility of suitable annelid substrates under a 2-year peak flushing flow. Outputs from a 2020 Bureau of Reclamation SRH-2D model were combined with field measurements of annelid presence/absence and habitat variables including depth, velocity and d50,...

  • Tracking Competitive Season Training Load via TRIMP in a Collegiate Distance Runner : A Case Study

    Creator:
    Anderson, Morgan Jane
    Abstract:
    Objectively quantifying workload is challenging due to a variety of factors. One way to measure workload is by training impulse (TRIMP). TRIMP uses time in physiologically significant heart rate zones to quantify a workload for a given bout of physical activity. Tracking average workload over time can then be used...

  • Dielectric Properties of Perovskite Ceramics Based on BaTiO3 and Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3

    Creator:
    Sundahl, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    The properties of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (BT-BMT) ceramics were fabricated from reagent-grade ceramic powders by solid-state methods and investigated for solubility, relative permittivity, dielectric loss, polarization, and electromechanical strain. The solubility limit was found to be between x = 0.3 and 0.4. Ba-deficient samples were fabricated, corresponding to stable single-phase compositions; these...
