Introduction of a Mathematical Model to Characterize Relative Risk of Snakebite Envenoming, a Neglected Tropical Disease

Creator:: Kim, Soyeon
Abstract:: Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that has received increased research attention in the past few years. However, snakebite prevalence and impact in India has been a neglected area of study, despite the high disease burden in this region. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches to studying snakebite processes are...

Development of assessment to determine first term general chemistry mathematical fluency

Creator:: Tomlinson, Kiara A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to analyze the scores of a mental math quiz taken by the CH 231 trailer course at Oregon State University and to determine courses of action to increase the success of students in general chemistry based on the results of the analysis. Students were...

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...

Spectral Analysis of Upper Ocean Surface Wave Structure using χSOLO Floats in the Bay of Bengal

Creator:: Ball, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Surface waves play a vital role in air-sea interactions, and being able to easily measure them in-situ validates and improves predictive models. Here, we diagnose surface wave properties in the Bay of Bengal using modified vertical SOLO II profiling floats, which are regularly used as part of the Argo ocean...

The Mathematics of Critical Shifts in Ecological Networks with Alternative Stable State Theory, A Potential Framework for Early Warning Indicators

Creator:: Kupperman, Michael D.
Abstract:: A long running problem in mathematical biology is the prediction of extinction events, a specialized case of the larger global stability problem found in differential equations and dynamical systems theory. A central technical question is how to introduce the randomness observed in real ecological systems not accounted for in deterministic...

Analysis of Student Engagement with Applied Calculus Problems

Creator:: Gumpinger, Lynn M.
Abstract:: Applied problems are a necessity for a well-rounded and rigorous education in mathematics. This thesis summarizes the literature about student engagement with applied problems in order to develop a set of criteria for what makes an engaging and meaningful applied mathematics problem. Based on a review of the literature, this...

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

Creator:: Le, Vivian T.
Abstract:: The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...

Interface Analysis of Titanium Dioxide and Graphene

Creator:: Frazier, Devon Paige
Abstract:: Titanium dioxide, in the anatase form, is a photocatalyst and has applications in water pollution reduction. Efficiency can be improved with a graphene substrate, which delays electron-hole recombination and may reduce the band gap. In this work, we determine if graphene can also act as a morphactant, changing the shape...

Localized Structures in a Diffusive Run-and-Tumble Model of Myxococcus xanthus

Creator:: Flynn, Patrick Thomas
Abstract:: The bacteria Myxococcus xanthus clusters into fruiting bodies in the absence of food. The movement of M. xanthus has three aspects: self-propulsion (run), change of direction due to collision (tumble), and Brownian fluctuations in movement. We propose a minimalist PDE model for the concentrations of left and right moving agents...

Thermodynamic analysis of a magnesium carbonate thermochemistry and compressed air energy storage system

Creator:: Rebarchik, Eric R.
Abstract:: In this work, a hybrid thermochemistry compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is investigated. Following a review on chemical reactions investigated for use in thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems, from these chemistries, the conversion of magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, to magnesium oxide, MgO, and carbon dioxide, CO2, was further analyzed for...
