Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves

Creator:: Fernández, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This thesis proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component...

In the midst of a revolution : science, fish culture, and the Oregon Game Commission, 1935-1949

Creator:: Hahn, Linda
Abstract:: This thesis will address the transformation of biological sciences during the 1930s and 1940s and it effects on fisheries science. It will focus on Oregon State College and specifically the Department of Fish and Game Management and the interaction with the Oregon Game Commission. Support for mutation theory and neo-...

Manufactured science - the attorneys' handmaiden : the influence of industry in occupational disease research during the twentieth century

Creator:: Biegel, Craig A.
Abstract:: Since the early twentieth century, manufacturers of toxic products have attempted to discredit research linking their product with disease. At the same time they have manufactured their own science designed to minimize risks associated with their products. Much of this activity has been conducted by or through corporate attorneys, endeavors...

Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

It's in the blood : the varieties of Linus Pauling's work on hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia

Creator:: Gormlet, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: Linus Pauling incorporated hemoglobin and a disease of the blood, sickle cell anemia, into many of his researches between the mid-1930s and mid-1970s. In the early 1930s Pauling became interested in organic chemistry and named hemoglobin as one of the first biochemical substances that he planned to analyze. In 1935...

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...
