Making the Shift: Narratives of Transfer from Planned Home Birth to the Hospital in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Houtman, Leah S.
Abstract:: About 1% of U.S. births each year are planned home births (Vital Statistics Reports 2017). Of these, roughly 10% transfer to a higher level of care during labor (Melissa Cheyney et al. 2014), yet their experiences are rarely heard. Storytelling has long been used not only as entertainment, but as...

In-Situ Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy and Post-Exposure Analysis of a Cu/Fe-based Oxygen Carrier Material in High-Temperature Oxidation and Reduction Environments for Chemical Looping Combustion Applications

Creator:: Nealley, W. H. Harrison
Abstract:: A Cu/Fe-spinel-based oxygen carrier designed at the National Energy Technology Laboratory was studied in order to characterize its physical and chemical behavior with cyclic oxidation and reduction treatments at 800°C for applications in chemical looping combustions. Observations were made on individual particles of the oxygen carrier in-situ using a confocal...

Characterization of Low Temperature Crystallization Growth Parameters of the Growth-dominated Phase Change Materials: Ge1Sb6Te1 and Ga15Sb85 by Optical Microscopy

Creator:: Winseck, Mark M.
Abstract:: Phase change memory materials are a set of chalcogenide or pnictogenide materials systems currently being researched for use in optical and resistive based memory systems due to their large change in optoelectronic properties between the amorphous and the crystalline states. For these materials systems to be considered as a suitable...

(Re)-conceiving birthing spaces in India : exploring NGO promotion of institutional delivery in Rajasthan, India

Creator:: Price, Sara
Abstract:: In India, globalized flows of bio-medical discourse, practices and technologies are reshaping the field of reproductive healthcare, and the performance of childbirth more specifically. These projects aim to produce institutional delivery rooms that are "safe and modernized" by equating the utilization of westernized, obstetric techniques for managing delivery with better...

Crystallization Rates of AIST and Ge Thin Films by Optical and Electron Microscopy

Creator:: Bird, Victoriea L.
Abstract:: The amorphous to crystalline phase change is of great interest for the production and operation of phase change memory and germanium electronic devices. Phase change memory relies on the ability to differentiate between differences in optical or electrical properties between the amorphous and crystalline phases of a single material. Amorphous...

Protecting the forests and the people : exploring alternative conservation models that include the needs of communities : an Ecuadorian case study

Creator:: Gittelman, Melissa Laurel
Abstract:: This research explores differences in environmental worldviews and connections to the land globally and more specifically in a case study of NGOs working in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest. The aims of this project are to investigate different environmental worldviews expressed between western NGOs and non western local NGOs and to...

Reactivity Testing of Waterglass and the Investigation into an Alternative Binder Enhanced with Cellulose Nanocrystals

Creator:: McAlexander, Melissa
Abstract:: Most of the concrete in the world is produced using hydraulic cement (ordinary portland cement, OPC) and siliceous or alumino-siliceous supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Due to the shift in focus toward environmental sustainability within the construction industry, alkali-activated cementitious systems (AAC) have gained significant attention to reduce the carbon footprint...

Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

Creator:: McIntosh, Melissa Luana
Abstract:: Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

Foraging in disturbed areas : a study of sweat bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) in Oregon

Creator:: Broussard, Melissa
Abstract:: Bees provide vital ecosystem services for cropping systems as well as natural landscapes. Declines in both both native bee and managed honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations has brought attention to the significance of their role as pollinators in managed and native ecosystems. As a result, conservation efforts have been...

Analysis of diagonally cracked conventionally reinforced concrete girders in the service load range

Creator:: Robelo, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Performance evaluation of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge superstructure elements with diagonal cracks is of interest to the bridge engineering community. Standardized methods to predict service-level stress magnitudes in cracked bridge girders under combined bending and shear forces are not available. An analysis procedure was developed to determine the response...
