Harbor dredging and benthic infauna : a case study

Creator:: Parr, Robert Alexander
Abstract:: This study of the immediate, localized effects of a small dredging operation on the benthic invertebrate community in the shipping channel of Coos Bay, Oregon, was designed: 1) to measure the extent of the physical removal of benthic macro- and meiofauna by hopper dredging; 2) to record the subsequent benthic...

The lanceolate projectile point in southwestern Oregon : a perspective from the Applegate River

Creator:: Nisbet, Robert Alexander
Abstract:: Archaeological investigations of the Applegate Lake project area were conducted by the Department of Anthropology, Oregon State University Univerfrom 1977-1980. A cultural sequence believed to span over 8000 years was revealed from a series of six sites. Several of these sites contained lanceolate or leaf-shaped projectile points. A large serrated...

Dynamical System Scaling of Fuel Performance During Reactivity Insertion Accidents

Creator:: Dueñas, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Fuel qualification timelines for new fuel technology under ideal conditions can take between 20-25 years to be fully qualified from initial concept to deployment as full fuel assemblies. To reduce the timeline and costs, new separate-effects test and integral-effects test experiments, advanced instrumentation, and advanced modeling and simulation tools are...

Distance Estimation in Virtual Reality

Creator:: Alexander, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Distance estimation is a key process for movement and spatial cognition. However, this process is hindered when navigating virtual environments in virtual reality (VR) due to the movement being exclusively visually simulated. In order to contribute to the understanding of how this hinderance effects our ability to estimate distances in...

Investigation of Drag Coefficient and Virtual Mass Coefficient on Rising Ellipsoidal Bubbles

Creator:: Dueñas, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Accurately describing drag and virtual mass forces in two-phase flows is crucial for high fidelity modeling of nuclear thermal hydraulic safety systems. This study compares existing drag coefficient correlations commonly used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications for air bubbles to experimental data collected for ellipsoidal air bubbles of varying...
