  • Rope Selection for Rope Drive Transmissions Used in Robotic Manipulation

    Creator:
    Summers, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Wire and fiber ropes used in rigorous CBOS (cyclic bend over sheave) applications were investigated. Small diameter stainless steel, tungsten, and Vectran® ropes were tested over small sheaves at high loads and cycle speeds. Sheaves were made with Al6061-T6511 and Al7075-T651 and were coated with 0.002” hard coat anodize; some...

  • The effects of nitrogen, tillage and irrigation on the color of Willamette Valley Pinot noir wine

    Creator:
    Helms, Kelly L.
    Abstract:
    Various vineyard practices influence the quality of a wine. In 1999, three levels of nitrogen (N), two levels of tillage and two levels of irrigation were applied to Pinot noir grape cultivars at Benton Lane Vineyards in the Southern Willamette Valley. N treatments were zero, soil and foliar applications. Every...

  • Lead(II) Extraction with Electrospun Spiropyran Functionalized PMMA Nanofibers

    Creator:
    Fuchs, Brian K.
    Abstract:
    A system to reversibly extract Pb²⁺ ions from aqueous solutions using spiropyran functionalized nanofibers was proposed. Spiropyrans are photochromic compounds which undergo a conformational change that alters their physical properties and makes Pb²⁺ binding possible upon irradiation with UV light (365 nm). Irradiation with green light (525 nm) reverses this...

  • A Study of Sample-and-Hold Circuit with Application to Beat Test and Dual-Slope ADC

    Creator:
    Yang, Bangda
    Abstract:
    This undergraduate thesis provides an overview on analyzing and designing open-loop sampleand- hold (S/H) circuits. It also describes a technique used to verify functions of an S/H circuit known as beat frequency test, as well as an application of S/H circuit, a dual-slope integrating analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The first section...

  • Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

    Creator:
    Bernert, Ann
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

  • Characterizing the Interactome of Nitrotyrosine-Calmodulin using Genetic Code Expansion

    Creator:
    Kong, Garth L.
    Abstract:
    A specific tyrosine post-translational modification, called 3-nitro-tyrosine (nitroTyr), has been known to be present on an essential calcium signaling protein called calmodulin (CaM) during oxidative stress. While protein-bound 3-nitro-tyrosine has long been considered a biomarker of OS, it is also hypothesized to be a mechanism for protein signaling. However, purification...

    Hansen, Jessica C.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. However, along with the increase in the occurrence of TBI, there has been a drastic decrease in the acute and long-term care provided for the TBI patient. This study provides information on the short-...
