  • 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...

  • Physiological characterization of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae

    Creator:
    Tornberg, Emma C.
    Abstract:
    Marine primary production can be modeled and estimated using remotely-observable physiological signatures such as chlorophyll and carbon. Current models are based on strict physiological relationships based on photoautotrophic phytoplankton, and discrepancies between modeled and in situ data may stem from unaccounted-for physiological deviations from photoautotrophy. Mixotrophic phytoplankton can obtain energy...

  • The LA Book

    Creator:
    Siefken, Jason E.
    Abstract:
    The LA Book is a free-to-students Linear Algebra textbook written at the introductory level and suitable for teaching MTH341 at Oregon State University. It functions both as a traditional, printed book (rendered via LaTeX) and as an online textbook (rendered via HTML), viewable via any modern web-browser. It is built...

  • 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...

  • Automatically Generating Solutions for Sokoban Maps

    Creator:
    Greco, Jason Aaron
    Abstract:
    Generating solutions to Sokoban levels is an NP-hard problem that is difficult for even modern day computers to solve due to its complexity. This project explores the creation of a Sokoban solver by eliminating as many potential moves as possible to greatly limit the overall search space. This reduction is...

  • Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

    Creator:
    Hughson, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...

  • The effect of animal size on the carbonic anhydrase activity of the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima

    Creator:
    Tep, Allison P.
    Abstract:
    The sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima is a model organism for the study of temperate symbiosis. Anthopleura elegantissima can engage in symbiosis with two different algal symbionts: the dinoflagellate Breviolum muscatinei and the chlorophyte Elliptochloris marina. One host enzyme that has been shown to be important in cnidarian-algal symbioses is carbonic...

  • Gene expression of four carbonic anhydrase paralogs across the symbiotic states of the model temperate sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt 1835)

    Creator:
    Meier, Emily K.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are shifting the global climate equilibrium, causing widespread losses in biodiversity. Anthozoan cnidarians are some of the species most vulnerable to environmental change. Environmental stress causes corals and sea anemones to expel their endosymbiotic algae, which constitute a primary source of nutrition for some Anthozoa. Carbonic anhydrase...

  • The Effects of Language on Cognitive Flexibility and Related Properties of Executive Functioning

    Creator:
    Hildenbrand, Lena
    Abstract:
    In the literature, a controversy persists over whether speaking multiple languages may result in what has been referred to as a bilingual advantage that is advantages for executive functioning (EF) skills. While evidence in favor of such a has been reported, the reliability of these findings has been questioned. To...

  • Creating and Assessing Cozmo Behaviors for Expressing Emotion

    Creator:
    Chan, Lilian C.
    Abstract:
    As human-robot interaction becomes more commonplace, roboticists should understand how robot behaviors are perceived by people to avoid misunderstandings. In our lab, we are exploring the use of a Cozmo as an interactive, break-taking aid in workplace settings. Before our interactive aid can be released into the wild, we must...
