Cancer Cell Detection with Mask R-CNN

Creator:: Wong, Ryan
Abstract:: Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...

Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Premixed Jet-A/Air Flames Diluted with Combustion Products

Creator:: Hoter, Zohar R.
Abstract:: Heat flux measurements of radiation emissions from turbulent premixed flames diluted with N 2 and CO 2 were taken to identify sensitivities of radiation heat loss to diluent fraction and species. This work is motivated by the desire to better characterise radiant heat transfer in the presence of combustion products,...

Investigating the Relationship between Affectionate Communication, Positive Emotions, and Prosocial Behavior

Creator:: Darr, Courtney L.
Abstract:: Affection is one of the most fundamental needs of humans. The current study aimed at better understanding how affectionate communication positively influences others, specifically through prosociality. It was hypothesized that individuals who give or receive affection more frequently are more altruistic and tend to feel more empathy, love, and compassion...

Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael T.
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

Diversity and distribution of bacterial symbionts in Vesicomyid clams along the Cascadia Margin

Creator:: Robinson, Hannah R.
Abstract:: Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems remain a frontier in marine science. Essential to their role in the ocean ecosystem are endosymbiotic bacteria which support larger megafauna, including the widespread symbiont-bearing Vesicomyid clams. The diversity and characteristics of these symbionts in these clams is only just beginning to be understood with technological advances...

Abiotic and biotic predictors of coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) in headwaters of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Neal, Nathaniel G.
Abstract:: From British Columbia to northern California, coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) are a dominant vertebrate predator in headwater streams. Though widespread, salamander health and abundance levels differ greatly between locations, provoking the question as to what factors may influence this variation and whether habitat features or biotic variables play a...

Mythical anatomy of dragons

Creator:: Coughlin, Emma
Abstract:: I researched depictions of dragons in several works of modern literature to conceptualize what a dragon looks like and how they generally function in popular media. From there, I researched several key characteristics of dragons to see how they work with science’s current understanding. I looked into size and scaling,...

Tracking the Range Expansion of a Native Bee, the Squash Bee, Eucera (Peponapis) pruinosa; (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Oregon using Community Science

Creator:: Jones, Miranda L.
Abstract:: The foraging distance of bees has been intensely studied. In contrast, little is known about the factors that determine bee dispersal distance, especially on large spatial scales. Eucera (Peponapis) pruinosa is a wild ground nesting bee that exclusively collects pollen from squash in the genus Cucurbita. Although the bee occurs...

Nitrate and Nitrite Differentially Affect Respiration in Zebrafish During Exercise

Creator:: Logan, Christiana R.
Abstract:: A decline in the oxygen cost of exercise enhances exercise tolerance and performance. Substantial research has shown that dietary nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of exercise in sedentary humans; however, the metabolic determinants regarding how dietary nitrate influences oxygen consumption in skeletal muscle is not known. We addressed this gap...
