Investigation Into the Use of a Lead Slowing Down Spectrometer for Neutron Cross Section Analysis

Creator:: Keppen, Jackson D.
Abstract:: A lead slowing-down spectrometer (LSDS) was modeled in the hopes of beginning a nuclear data development campaign at Oregon State University. An LSDS can be used for neutron interrogation techniques, such as determining isotopic inventory of a sample of unknown components or determining the cross section of a sample of...

Studies Toward the Synthesis of Natural Product Scaffolds

Creator:: Lusk, Jason S.
Abstract:: Part 1: A Diels-Alder Approach to the Synthesis of Novel Analogues of the Natural Product Siamenol Due to the prevalence of biaryl motifs in natural product synthesis, the Carter research group has been exploring the utility of a Diels-Alder approach to biaryl synthesis. The Diels-Alder approach involves a [4+2] cycloaddition...

Exploring the Discrete Logarithm with Random Ternary Graphs

Creator:: Brugger, Max Francis Josef
Abstract:: Encryption is essential to the security of transactions and communications, but the algorithms on which they rely might not be as secure as we all assume. In this paper, we investigate the randomness of the discrete exponentiation function used frequently in encryption. We show how we used exponential generating functions...

Segregation in Public Schools Through the Lens of Tiebout Theory: A case study of Oregon's open enrollment policy

Creator:: Backus, Robert J.
Abstract:: In 2011 Oregon enacted a public education open enrollment policy that gives students and families the choice of what school to attend, regardless of district lines. Despite the lack of public information, this policy will sunset this school year unless it is further extended during legislative session. This paper attempts...

How school district and municipality finances responded to the great recession

Creator:: Arnold, Natalie R.
Abstract:: The 2008 financial crisis started a domino effect that crippled much of the United States economy. Most associate this crisis with large scale mortgage failure and an increase in unemployment. These were two of the main causes and effects of the crisis. However, society as a whole was also impacted....

Islands Alone : A Look at How the German Invasion and Occupation of the Channel Islands Affected the Lives of the Channel Islanders and German Soldiers on the Channel Islands During World War II

Creator:: Paoli, Gus
Abstract:: The Channel Islands were the only part of the United Kingdom occupied by Germany during World War II. The Occupation began on June 30, 1940 and ended almost five years later on May 9, 1945. The Occupation is divided into four phases: pre-invasion, invasion, occupation and isolation, and liberation. The...

Inter-code Comparison of Time Independent Pulsed Sphere Benchmark Results

Creator:: Northrop, Jordan
Abstract:: The pulsed sphere benchmark problems are a set of physical experiments that have been used to verify Monte Carlo codes and evaluate nuclear data. All Monte Carlo codes rely on benchmark experiments that test the features of the code to verify that the simulations are producing realistic results. In the...

Removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Assay Interference from Landfill Leachate Samples Treated with Fenton's Reagents

Creator:: Palmer, Matthew
Abstract:: Incompatibility between Fenton’s Reagents and a potassium dichromate COD test provides interference that prevent accurate measurements of the concentration of organics from oxidized samples. Several treatment options were tested to remove this interference. Oxidation of reagents was eliminated as a potential method for removal of interference due to sample contamination....

Machine learning approach to improve drug discovery in natural product extracts

Creator:: Heussner, Robert T.
Abstract:: Current natural product (NP) research is limited by its reliance on bioassay-guided fractionation to identify bioactive compounds in mixtures. Computational approaches may improve NP research by correlating mass spectra (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) of bioactive mixtures to their bioactivity patterns. In this study, I use artificial neural...

Attachment to Place Among Teenage Students in School Districts With Four-Day School Weeks

Creator:: Smith, Madeleine C.
Abstract:: Rural communities face acute challenges in providing education. Attachment to place plays a significant role in rural communities but little research exists on how it influences policy. One policy response to financial, physical, and cultural factors in rural Oregon is the four-day school week (FDSW). Through health survey responses of...
