  • A construction of the real numbers using nested closed intervals

    Creator:
    Huang, Nancy Mang-ze
    Abstract:
    It is well- known that a real number can be defined as an equivalence class of fundamental rational sequences. In fact, it is also possible to define a real number as an equivalence class of sequences of nested closed rational intervals. This paper is devoted to the latter case.

  • Defining the gap : a case study of the on campus residential options at Oregon State University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Rachel C.
    Abstract:
    The decision to attend a university creates many important decisions for a young adult, with one of the most important being the choice of where to live while they make the transition into independent adults. Many choose to live on campus during this critical time. The differences that exist, and...

  • International students as educational migrants : east and southwest Asian perspectives

    Creator:
    Visconti, Lauren A.
    Abstract:
    Projected to reach one million people next year, international students in the United States are undergoing a transformative educational migration. Moving away from the existing study abroad paradigm is the first step to more accurately understand the lived experience of an educational migrant. Discovering the perceptions of what value an...

  • Herbicide effects on Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus

    Creator:
    Wehr, Nancy Briggs
    Abstract:
    Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a small parasitic bacterium present in soil, mud, and aquatic habitats. Due to its lysis of Gramnegative bacteria, an important role in soil ecology has been suggested for this organism. A study of effects of herbicides upon Bdellovibrio might consequently be of considerable value. In this study...

  • Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

    Creator:
    Schorn, Nathan E.
    Abstract:
    The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...

  • Geometric Chatter Stability Index for Milling and Modeling of Chip Pulling Effect

    Creator:
    Maulimov, Mukhtar
    Abstract:
    Prediction and mitigation of chatter vibrations in machining operations and optimizing overall machining mechanics are crucial for achieving greater productivity and manufacturing efficiency. This thesis first explores effect of directional relationships on chatter stability in milling process. Based on the directional relationships, a geometry-based chatter stability index (CSI) is proposed...

  • Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

    Creator:
    Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
    Abstract:
    Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

  • Effect of dietary fluoride on selenite toxicity in the rat

    Creator:
    Yu, Qing, 1966-
    Abstract:
    Two factorial experiments were conducted to determine if high dietary fluoride would inhibit selenite toxicity in rats. In each study, two levels of selenite (0.05 and 5 mg/kg diet) were matched against two levels of fluoride (1 and 150 mg/kg diet) for either 6 or 8 weeks. Fluoride failed to...
