Nanomechanical Characterization of Atomic Layer Deposition Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Creator:: Bauer, Nicole Lea
Abstract:: Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a promising technique for the production of biologically safe, wear resistant and corrosion protective coatings for orthopedic applications. In this work, the impact of coating thickness and surface preparation on the hardness (H), elastic modulus (E), wear resistance, and delamination of ALD Al2O3 films is...

Effects of Channel and Ratchet Geometry on Passive Pumping in an Open-ended channel Configuration

Creator:: Daniels, Mitchell A.
Abstract:: Modern electronics have created increased demand for innovative cooling solutions. Typical forced convective cooling systems consist of pumps that circulate cooling fluid. However pumps can be unwieldy for many applications. This research is a continuation of work done at Oregon State University and Auburn University on the passive pumping of...

Synthesis of gold nanoparticle surfactants and their self-assembly at oil-water interfaces

Creator:: Truong, Mitchell
Abstract:: Amphiphilic gold nanoparticle surfactants can self-assemble at oil-water interfaces to form stable Pickering emulsions. These nanoparticle surfactants have previously been synthesized by functionalizing gold nanoparticles with thiol terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-thiol), and subsequently with an alkane-thiol. It is necessary to improve the bio-compatibility of the nanoparticles if they are to...

Studying abroad and vocabulary use in impromptu essays

Creator:: Mitchell, Kathleen
Abstract:: Spending time in a German speaking country may aid in vocabulary acquisition and production. This study hypothesized a concrete link between written language use and experiences abroad. Intermediate German students’ vocabulary uses in impromptu essays were evaluated by counting the number of total word, unique words, and content words. This...

Utilization of Robot Ankle Torque to Account for Foot Placement Error

Creator:: Bernards, Mitchell F.
Abstract:: Modern walking robots have shown that dynamic gaits can be achieved without ankle motors. It seems logical that the additional control authority that they provide can be used to improve the stability of the walking gait against foot placement errors caused by low level control. This thesis develops and compares...

Christian Religious Services, Coronavirus, and the Responsible Coalescence of Virtual and Augmented Realities as a Solution

Creator:: Mitchell, Tristan R.
Abstract:: Christian communities vary widely in their degrees of acceptability or apprehensiveness toward newly developing technologies, ultimately aiming to help individuals optimally grow in their relationships to God and with others. Technologies viewed as conducive to accomplishing these goals are more likely to be accepted by Christian communities. Technologies viewed as...

A validity study for the kaizen event kick-off survey

Creator:: Mitchell, Rebecca M.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to support a research project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of the NSF research project was to determine how to design kaizen events that result in both short term and long term performance improvements. One of the tools developed to evaluate the...

Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

Creator:: Har, Skyler
Abstract:: Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

Creator:: Ormand, Elora J.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

Regulation of the Pantoea agglomerans type III secretion system by plant-exuded sugars

Creator:: Bacher, Daniel
Abstract:: Pantoea agglomerans pathovar betae (Pab) is a bacterium that causes galls on the roots of beet plants, resulting in reduced marketability of beet roots and crop loss. Pab uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to infect and cause galls on beets. The T3SS is a molecular syringe-like structure that...
