The objective of the research presented herein is to elucidate the effect of traps in determining amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor (AOS TFT) performance using modeling and characterization. A novel method is proposed to extract the interface state distribution from a TFT transfer curve. Analysis of zinc-indium oxide (ZIO), zinc-tin...
This study assesses the role of the atmospheric dry fallout as a source of new nitrogen and phosphorus to the surface Levantine seawater. Leaching experiments of inorganic nitrogen (LINO-3, LINH+4) and phosphorus (LIPO4), using SE Mediterranean surface seawater, were performed on 41 aerosol (hereafter dust) samples collected on Whatman 41...
A class of inorganic thin-film transistor (TFT) semiconductor materials has emerged involving oxides composed of post-transitional cations with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n≥4) electronic configurations. This thesis is devoted to the pursuit of topics involving the development of these materials for TFT applications: Deposition of zinc oxide and zinc tin oxide semiconductor
layers...
Nalidixic acid and its derivatives act through inhibition of
bacterial DNA gyrase activity. Recently there have been a series of
papers reporting the antibacterial activity against three different
types of bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa) by a series
of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (or 1,8-naphthyridine) 3-carboxylic
acids. Consistent biological data...

The Oregon State University TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) has a number of irradiation
facilities providing a wide range of neutron energies and fluxes. These facilities include a
pneumatic transfer tube, a rotating rack, a thermal column, four beam ports, in-core irradiation
tubes, a clyogenic gas transfer system and a large vault...
The need for cheap reliable energy, while simultaneously avoiding uranium supply constraints makes uranium carbide (UC) fueled Gas Fast Reactors offer an attractive nuclear reactor design. In order to qualify the fuel, an enhanced understanding of the behavior of uranium carbide during operation is paramount. Due to a reduced re-solution...
