Organic semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in low-cost, solution-processable (opto)electronic devices. An important class of high-performance organic semiconductors is pentacene derivatives, which exhibit high charger carrier mobilities in field-effect transistors and ultrafast singlet fission in photovoltaic devices. These derivatives have served as benchmark materials for systematic...
This thesis describes in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of a transdermal atenolol formulation developed at Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy. The formulation was prepared from carbomer as a gel base with propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, polysorbate 80 and dimethyl-isosorbide (DMI) as mixture of penetration enhancing agents. The effect of the...
In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the
critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins
by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary
calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...
Just as scientific knowledge is constructed using distinct modes of inquiry (e.g., experimental or historical), arguments constructed during science instruction may vary depending on the mode of inquiry underlying the topic. The purpose of this study was to examine whether and how secondary science teachers construct scientific arguments during instruction...
Focus on Forestry is published by Oregon State University's College of Forestry. Our goal is to keep Forestry alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students informed about the College of Forestry and its many activities and programs.
This paper develops an option value model to examine vessel owners in deciding to participate or not in the vessel buyback program. The model accounts for the uncertainty generally involved in a decision to retire an aged vessel and the underlying value of waiting for new information about the profitability...
The proposed action is to thin understory trees from around ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white pine, and
Douglas fir in the outer portion of Riparian Reserves in the Jenny Creek watershed. The overall objective
is to maintain and restore the diversity of forest stands near streams in a way that...
In August of 2011, Jenny Minten came across an old coffin, complete with a skeleton, in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Scio lodge. After it was determined that the skeleton did not represent a modern forensic case, the remains were donated to the Oregon State University Anthropology Department....
Dataparallel C has been designed for various kinds of architectures and was developed jointly at University of New Hampshire and Oregon State University.
This project dealt with porting the libraries to the nCUBE 2 system and helping a user compile his programs on nCUBE 2 directly from a Sun workstation...
Forests are major components of the global carbon cycle, providing
substantial feedback to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations¹.
Our ability to understand and predict changes in the forest carbon
cycle—particularly net primary productivity and carbon storage—increasingly relies on models that represent biological processes
across several scales of biological organization, from tree...
