  • Can Operating Leases Predict Bankruptcy in Asset‐Intensive Firms?

    Creator:
    Waites, Pryce J.
    Abstract:
    Since the Altman Z-score was published in 1968, the Z-score has been a common way that investors predict bankruptcy and value risk. However, corporate structure has evolved since 1968 due to changes in economic factors and financial reporting standards. In 1976, the FASB created the first bright-line rules to distinguish...

  • An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

    Creator:
    Moore, Cailin J.
    Abstract:
    The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

  • Aesthetics of Curve Approximation

    Creator:
    Lippincott, Keith
    Abstract:
    In this work we propose a curve approximation method that operates in the curvature domain. The curvature is represented using one of several different types of basis functions (linear, quadratic, spline, sinusoidal, orthogonal polynomial), and the curve's geometry is reconstructed from that curvature basis. Our hypothesis is that different curvature...

  • The COVID-19 pandemic and food insecurity among college students

    Creator:
    Moore, McKenzie
    Abstract:
    Food insecurity is a common issue among college students in the United States with recent research suggesting that between 10-75% of college students are food insecure. In comparison, an estimated 10.2% of U.S. Households are food insecure. Food insecurity is associated with many negative health outcomes. The purpose of this...

  • An investigation into the design and use of a mutual inductance type fluid level probe for use in liquid sodium systems

    Creator:
    Moore, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Level measurement in liquid sodium systems has been studied in the U.S.’s past during the 1970’s, but locally little was done to advance the subject until a resurgence of interest in the last few years. As a result, to create a functional continuous fluid level measurement probe for the OSU...

  • Drowning in the noise : an examination of noise pollution’s effect on wild birds through field recording and musical composition

    Creator:
    Kruger-Moore, Liana
    Abstract:
    This project uses field recordings to examine the levels of noise pollution present in both rural and urban areas by creating an artistic translation of these soundscapes, representative of how wild birds experience different environments. The field recordings capture not only what is present in a given soundscape, but what...

  • Implications of Lymph Node Involvement in Breast Cancer Patients

    Creator:
    Moore, Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The intention of this research was to analyze the clinical implications of lymph node involvement, cancer stage and cancer treatment administered for 481 breast cancer patients receiving care at St. Charles Health System in Bend Oregon. It was concluded that lymph node involvement has a linear and positive association with...

  • Our Natural Family: A study of young children and how we connect with nature

    Creator:
    Tilleman, Kirsten
    Abstract:
    While humans are inextricably connected to nature, we live in a world whose anthropocentric fixation on progress begins severing that connection at birth. Through research with young children, their parents, and their care-providers, this project helped fill the research gap in early childhood ecological education by helping identify children’s ways...

  • Fair Value Accounting and the Liquidity Crisis of 2008-2009

    Creator:
    Arias, Yessenia M.
    Abstract:
    Fair value accounting has become a very popular and controversial topic in light of the 2008-2009 liquidity crisis in the United States. Fair value, also called mark-to-market, implies that assets and liabilities get measured and reported in firms‘ financial statements at market value as opposed to historical value. This study...

  • Examining Wildlife Interactions with Large Wood In Streams

    Creator:
    Trevarrow, Ezmie R.
    Abstract:
    It is well known that in-stream large wood affects river channel shape, sediment deposits, stream flow, and available habitat for aquatic species. However, less is known about how wildlife interact with this large wood. Previous research has shown that small mammals and birds utilize woody debris in river channels for...
