Assessing the Economic Impacts of Food Assistance Policy Using a Computable General Equilibrium Approach

Creator:: West, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Over the past several years, increases in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have coincided with the 2007-2008 recession and the higher rates of unemployment in the U.S. With SNAP being the largest program, in terms of spending embedded in the farm bill, it is likely to see some spending...

Empowered or exploited? Analyzing the attitudes of unpaid community health workers in Amhara, Ethiopia

Creator:: Baranski, Emily A.
Abstract:: The Women’s Development Army (WDA), an all-female workforce of unpaid Community Health Workers (CHW), is Ethiopia’s answer to improving rural health. Through the WDA, Ethiopia’s government says it is empowering women to spark change in their community by disseminating healthy behaviors and by advocating on their own behalf to health...

Structural Similarities and Differences in Tropone and Tropolone: Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction Study

Creator:: Titus, Eric J.
Abstract:: The method of gas-phase electron diffraction is a very useful tool for determining the geometry of a molecule in the gas-phase to a high degree of accuracy. In this thesis, the structures of tropone and tropolone, which are similar molecules that are both based on a 7-carbon ring, were investigated...

Analyzing the Effect of Peer Learning on Academic Success within Physics Education

Creator:: Dreyer, Gabriel
Abstract:: Objective: This study presents an in-depth review of the correlations between peer learning methods and Academic success for students within the Oregon State University introductory PH 20X physics series. This study also sought to determine how, if any, demographics impacted the relationship between these correlates, and if the course structure...

Initial Mathematical Competency as a Determinant of Student Success in Algebra-Based Physics Courses

Creator:: Guske, Christopher
Abstract:: There has been a growing focus within the physics education field on researching the determinants to student success in college physics. Numerous investigations have examined the relationship between initial mathematical competency and student performance in college physics and have found considerable positive correlations. We contribute to this existing research on...

Physics Students' Mindsets and Their Impact on Learning and Perceived Satisfaction

Creator:: Le, Tiffany
Abstract:: Characterizing a mindset landscape within the physics classroom is crucial to portray the variation and context of mindset in the classroom. This paper will be looking at students enrolled in Oregon State University’s PH20x series, which is a series of three algebra-based introductory physics courses. This project is an exploratory...

Using Angular Correlation to Determine Decay Behavior in Nuclei through the Analysis of Coincidence Sum Peaks

Creator:: Hager, Werner W., IV
Abstract:: When a nucleus is in an excited state, it will decay to lower energy by emitting photons. Often there are several intermediate stages in a decay cascade. Occasionally the photons in a cascade will be emitted in coincidence. This will be resolved by the detector not as two distinct photons,...

Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

Creator:: Oakes, Ian R.
Abstract:: Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

The Effect of Handedness on User Speed and Accuracy in Interaction with Special-purpose Handheld Digital Devices

Creator:: Bengtson, Lucas
Abstract:: This project studied how a user's handedness affects his or her ability to use a special-purpose handheld digital device such as a digital camera or rangefinder. More specifically, it sought to identify how handedness affects speed and accuracy when navigating within a menu system. 24 participants were given 8 menu...

X-ray Emissions in Measurements of the Neutron Capture Cross Sections for the Production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt and Scoping the Science Parameter Space of Future X-ray Astrophysics Calorimeter Missions

Creator:: Keck, Mason L.
Abstract:: A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the 77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...
