  • Characterization and theoretical analysis of the effect of geometry on electrical characteristics of flexible thin film transistors

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Shirsopratim
    Abstract:
    Flexible Electronics is a fast developing technology that is set to revamp and revolutionize conventional electronics through the development of devices that are easily conformable to surfaces of any arbitrary geometry. Such devices would have vast applications in areas where the rigidity of traditional silicon based electronics is undesirable, such...

  • Electronic Stability of Metal Halide Perovskites

    Creator:
    Hong, Min Ji
    Abstract:
    Despite near unanimous opinion on the consequences of climate change by scientific community, the rate at which carbon is emitted into the atmosphere continues to increase. The need for a clean and sustainable source of energy is therefore one of humankind's most urgent challenges. Solar energy is the most abundant...

  • “I Think I'll Do Good”: Hopeful Future Expectations and Critical Reflection in Oppressed Youth

    Creator:
    Thogmartin, Asia A.
    Abstract:
    Critical consciousness (CC) and hopeful future expectations (HFE) are believed to promote positive development in youth who face structural inequalities (Callina et al., 2014; Heberle et al., 2020; Mcwhirter & McWhirter, 2008). Although both CC and HFE hold promise for enhancing the positive development of oppressed youth, gaps in the...

  • Flying Under the Radar : An Exploratory Assessment of Portland’s Burmese Refugee Parent Needs

    Creator:
    Thogmartin, Asia A.
    Abstract:
    War and persecution have devastating consequences, and the United States (U.S.) has a time-honored commitment to providing refuge to those most afflicted. Over the last four decades, the U.S. has provided sanctuary to more than 3.2 million refugees through its resettlement programs (U.S. Department of State, 2015a). Burma’s long-standing civil...

  • Defining agricultural sustainability in the Marys River region of Oregon

    Creator:
    Stanton, Michael
    Abstract:
    This ethnographic study explores the social aspects of agricultural land-use in the Marys River region. The study seeks to understand how farmers define sustainability and how their views on agricultural issues help to define a sense of place and identity in the Marys River region, within the context of the...

  • Quantifying the Potential of Native Plants for Improving Pollination and Biological Control in Agroecosystems

    Creator:
    Winfield, Tammy L.
    Abstract:
    Agricultural areas can be inhospitable to the attraction and maintenance of beneficial insects like natural enemies and pollinators and this can result in a decrease in the ecosystem services of pollination and pest control that these insects supply. If habitat can be created and maintained on-farm, an increase in the...

  • ASIC for real time data authentication

    Creator:
    Anjum, Vaseem
    Abstract:
    Authentication is a means of developing an electronic signature that works like a written signature. It assumes that your data is publicly known but nevertheless ensures that the message is not tampered with and that you have an audit trail. This project discusses the techniques and concepts used to design...

  • Telomere Binding Protein Antagonists for Stem Cell Therapy

    Creator:
    VanGarde, Aurora
    Abstract:
    Understanding the mechanisms through which stem cells self-renew is important for the development of new therapies to repair and restore damaged tissue. This research explores possible mechanisms of telomere mimic action and seeks to validate a new assay for evaluating telomere binding antagonists and studying the effects of telomere binding...
