Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

Creator:: Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
Abstract:: Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

A qualitative analysis of identity and stigma among people with facial differences

Creator:: Gwynn, Britnie
Abstract:: There is a lack of research surrounding people with facial differences (FD), particularly on how their FD identity is interwoven with their other identities and how they relate to it. With a note on how it relates to their experience of stigma. This study is designed to utilize the narratives...

Dissolved Organic Carbon Production and Flux from Long Term Litter Manipulations in a Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest

Creator:: Evans, Lucas R.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux is an important mechanism to convey soil carbon (C) from aboveground organic debris (litter) to deeper soil horizons and can influence the formation of stable soil organic carbon (SOC) compounds. Aboveground litter quantity and quality was manipulated for 20-years in an old-growth Douglas fir forest...

Alternative Carrier Solvents for Use with Resolubilized Fungal Pigments to IncreaseInternal Color Coverage in Wood Substrates

Creator:: Pittis, Lauren
Abstract:: Five solvents were used to resolubilize the fungal pigments of Chlorociboria aeruginosa and Scytalidium cuboideum, two common fungi used in the spalting of wood pieces. These solvents were tested as a replacement for dichloromethane in the pigment application process, via analysis of their ability to increase internal color coverage inside...

Hepatic Gene Expression Patterns in C57BL/6J Mice Fed High-Fat Diets Supplemented with Watermelon Flesh, Arginine, Citrulline, Lycopene, or S-methylmethionine

Creator:: Chen, Mikayla Y.
Abstract:: About one third of Americans have metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by five risk factors related to blood pressure and triglyceride levels and could lead to diabetes and heart disease if left untreated. Watermelon has been shown to exhibit cardioprotective effects due to its high phytochemical content and may act...

Questions of Stasis in a Post-Truth World

Creator:: Shepard, Bradley
Abstract:: Stasis theory has long stood as a foundational pillar of Western rhetoric. It is an integral component of the canon of invention, and has been in existence since the times of ancient Greek scholars. However, it is currently facing a substantive challenge to its efficacy and its very existence. This...

The Auteur Perspective of David Fincher

Creator:: Kitamura, Garrett
Abstract:: Director David Fincher’s films contain many distinct elements that set his work apart, but one of the most instantly recognizable elements is his visual style – specifically, his camerawork. The level of control and purposefulness that Fincher exhibits in his films qualify Fincher as the auteur, or “author,” of his...

Contribution of native plasmids to fitness of Pantoea vagans C9-1, a biological control agent for fire blight of apple and pear

Creator:: Klein, Jeannie M.
Abstract:: Pantoea vagans C9-1 (C9-1) is a biological control agent sprayed onto apple and pear trees during bloom for suppression of fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Prior bioinformatics studies of C9-1 focused on predicted phenotypes associated with the three native megaplasmids, pPag1, pPag2, and pPag3, and...

Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

Creator:: Wile, Dylan
Abstract:: Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Hemolysis Potential in a Microfluidic Hemoperfusion Device Designed for Use in Sepsis Treatment

Creator:: Myers, Karl N.
Abstract:: The potential of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet damage was studied for a novel microfluidic hemoperfusion device currently in development at Oregon State University for use in treating sepsis. COMSOL 4.4's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module was used to examine shear rate profiles in laminar, Newtonian blood flow throughout...
