Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is a software development system employing on-screen editing of standard graphical user interface objects, prototyping, program generation, and automatic analysis tools which are typically used to accelerate the production of running applications. A programmer uses OSU to design and implement all user interface objects such as...
This project focuses on building a test stand in order to measure novel scintillator
materials’ decay times. A proof of concept prototype confirms the manufacturer decay
time of EJ-204 and LYSO scintillators with good statistics and confirmation of results
after calibrations. With the prototype functional, the test stand is commissioned...
Commercial and public safety usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the National Airspace is currently restricted by federal regulation. The Federal Aeronautics Association is interested in modifying the restrictions; however, research is needed to study the human factor and required aptitude for a single human operating multiple UAVs. This Master’s...

It has long been recognized by the legal community that when an immigrant seeks relief from deportation proceedings through the United States’ immigration courts, the proceedings they undertake are best seen as a game of chance depending on the Immigration Judge who is randomly assigned to their case. This thesis...
When grown together in plantations, fast-growing southern and coastal sources of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)often have lower wood specific gravity than northern and inland sources. This study investigated whether this phenomenon could be explained by a later transition to latewood, associated with a longer period of height growth, of...
The literal distance inherent in online education can be an important difference between it and traditional classroom settings, such that proximate, on-site learning is thought to be where experiential, transformative education happens (Cohen, 2013). Yet it is possible that some of the most compelling, effective aspects of traditional, proximate education...
