  • Optimizing the primary forest products supply chain : a multi-objective heuristic approach

    Creator:
    Hamann, Jeff D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a collection of four submitted manuscripts that present methods to assist forest ecosystem service managers wanting to develop operational sampling, monitoring, and production plans for a set of specific quantifiable ecosystem services, which are formulated as a series of general multi-objective optimization problems. The problems are solved...

  • Field and laboratory strength analysis of a forest road in NW Oregon and its association with the formation of ruts

    Creator:
    Bord, Andrea J.
    Abstract:
    A one-mile section of a newly constructed forest road in Northwest Oregon was analyzed for various aspects of subgrade and surface strength and their association with the formation of ruts during the first hauling season. Field and laboratory tests were completed on the road and the road materials to determine...

  • Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

    Creator:
    Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
    Abstract:
    Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...

  • Activation of Co-stimulatory Molecule OX40 Increases Memory T-cell Function and Cytokine Production in Uveitis

    Creator:
    Hall, Mark
    Abstract:
    Uveitis is a serious ophthalmological disorder characterized by intraocular infiltration of inflammatory cells. In most cases, uveitis is derived from the adaptive immune response. More specifically, CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of uveitis by recognizing uveitogenic antigen and orchestrating the immune response. While it is...

  • The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

    Creator:
    Kadhim, Kyra L.
    Abstract:
    The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

  • Permeability of Various Thyroid Hormone Derivatives and Discovery of a Novel Metabolite

    Creator:
    Kirkemo, Lisa
    Abstract:
    In this investigation, six different endogenous thyroid hormone derivatives—T₄, T₃, TA₄, TA₃, T₁-Amine, and N-Acetylated T₁-Amine—were tested to gain insight into their permeability coefficients and efflux ratios across a monolayer of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK II) cells. The results indicate that T₃ and T₄ were unable to traverse the membrane...

  • Assessment of academic advising models in the OSU College of Science based on student and advisor feedback

    Creator:
    Aljets, Alexandria Dukes
    Abstract:
    This study sought to explore the differences between the varied academic advising models in the College of Science at Oregon State University through the feedback of its undergraduate students and advisors. Using parallel surveys of students and their academic advisors, it found that the decentralized and centralized models each had...

  • Generation of proof of concept molecules neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to IL17Cm

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Drew W.
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is one of the first, most important responses of the immune system when presented with infection and is mediated primarily by eicosanoids and cytokines. The goal of this research was to generate monoclonal antibodies against murine IL17C, a poorly characterized cytokine involved in inflammation and linked to inflammatory conditions....

  • Implementing a Linux Sysfs Interface to the VMCS

    Creator:
    Kronquist, Ian
    Abstract:
    The Virtual Machine Control Structure is an x86 hardware structure available on Intel platforms which support the VMX instruction set extensions. Developers working with Linux kernel virtualization technologies may need to alter fields in the VMCS, but the few existing tools for updating the structure are unstable or difficult to...

  • Public Discourses and Public Image-Making in Periclean Athens

    Creator:
    Petersen, Ben
    Abstract:
    When one looks back on fifth-century Athens, one political figure stands out: Pericles. He is famous for many things but mostly the idealized version of him that one reads about in Thucydides. However, what most people do not know is that there was a counter-narrative to this well known account—the...
