Application of a Modified Microdosimetric-Kinetic Model to Analyze Cell Killing in Determination of the Optimal Particle for Light Ion Therapy

Creator:: Butkus, Michael P.
Abstract:: Ion therapy has long been investigated as a potential modality to improve cancer treatments beyond what is currently feasible with photon irradiations. Ions offer both a physical and biological advantage over photons. The physical advantages are well understood, ions deposit their maximum dose at defined penetration depths, allowing for minimal...

Collective Aquifer Governance: It’s the Water, and a “Hole” Lot More

Creator:: Wiley, Jakob Stevan
Abstract:: Aquifers are a whole lot more than groundwater. Aquifers are composed of many kinds of different resources, including storage space, geothermal energy, surface interactions, and various minerals. However, unlike these resources, groundwater is treated as something different. The transition from groundwater management to groundwater governance expanded the role of social...

Binary stochastic media transport : a coupled mesh based method

Creator:: Barnett, Nathan A.
Abstract:: Transport in a binary stochastic media has been an area of interest for many applications over the past three decades. Many different methods have been attempted, most based on the Levermore-Pomraning coupled transport model. However, this method has never been able to correctly solve problems where a large amount of...

Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

Creator:: Fox, Samuel E.
Abstract:: Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

Pair production treatments for deterministic pulse-height distribution simulations

Creator:: MacQuigg, Michael R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents methods for treating annihilation photon pairs in deterministic pulse height distribution (PHD) simulations. The methods are applied in PHD simulations for monoenergtic sources of 1.6 and 2.6 MeV photons incident on 5 and 10 cm 1-D slabs of germanium, sodium iodide, and lead and the results are...

An ecosystem service approach to inform reactive nitrogen management in the lower Yakima River Basin, Washington

Creator:: Crowell, Morgan
Abstract:: Spatially explicit ecosystem service valuation (ESV) allows for the identification of the location and magnitude of services provided by natural ecosystems to human activities along with a measure of their significance based upon economic valuation. While ESV has been used to provide new insight into land use management, few studies...

Evaluation of the lateral scapular slide test using radiographic imaging : a validity and reliability study

Creator:: Daniels, Todd P.
Abstract:: Function of the shoulder complex is highly dependent on the relationship between the scapula and the humerus. Etiologies for the disruption of the glenohumeral relationship include impaired or abnormal scapular function, motion, or position. The lateral scapular slide test (LSST) has been developed as a clinical tool to assess this...

Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

Strength and Composition of Willamette Valley Cob: An Earthen Building Material

Creator:: Pullen, Quinn M.
Abstract:: Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters, including both average values...

Design of an Optical Medium for the Simulation of Neutron Transport in Reactor Component Materials

Creator:: Konyndyk, David M.
Abstract:: The scattering of optical rays by small spherical particles bears a strong resemblance to the diffusion of fission neutrons in solid materials. This work explores the feasibility of exploiting similarities between these two systems for the purposes of reactor component analysis, education, and outreach. After a brief overview of reactor-environment...
