Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

Creator:: Walker, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

Evaluating the Efficacy of Biophilia in K-12 Access Interpretive Programs in California State Parks

Creator:: Grand, Parker
Abstract:: The purpose of this capstone is to provide a reassessment of the emergence of biophilia in interpretive programs conducted in California State Parks. More specifically, this project examines what effect natural resource interpretive programming has on the emergence of biophilia practices and if participants are more likely to be more...

Exploring the Anaerobic Co-digestion of Food Waste, Brewery Waste, and Fats, Oils, and Greases through Biomethane Potential Testing and Response Surface Methodology

Creator:: Liberman, Madalyn R.
Abstract:: Food waste (FW), brewery waste (BW), and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), are prevalent waste streams in municipalities across the country, particularly in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Anaerobic digestion (AD), the microbial-mediated transformation of organic waste into methane-rich biogas, offers a sustainable, energy-generating, waste management solution for these wastes. Anaerobic...

Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

Creator:: Leppin, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...

Molded Fiber Bottle Coatings for Environmental Resistance and Sustainability

Creator:: Sim, Elaine
Abstract:: In recent years, non-renewable and non-biodegradable plastic packaging forms the majority of landfilled waste. These products, mainly made from Polyethylene Tetraphlatate (PET) and other polyolefins, have excellent durability and barrier properties, but take hundreds of years to degrade. Much focus has been put on developing environmentally friendly alternatives to polyolefins...

Cannabidiol Effects on NMDA and AMPA Receptor Activity and Cognitive Function at a High Dose in 5xFAD Mice

Creator:: Sackinger, Emily P.
Abstract:: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an abnormal part of aging that mainly affects those over the age of 65. The current therapies are only FDA approved for mild to moderate AD symptoms. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating constituent of Cannabis sativa that has been shown to have beneficial effects on cancer,...

Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

Creator:: Dickey, Jacob C.
Abstract:: Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

Creator:: Panahi, Roshan
Abstract:: Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

The Examination of Escherichia coli Contamination via Agricultural Water Applications and Survival During Pre-Harvest Field Curing of Dry Bulb Onions

Creator:: Racine, Jason R.
Abstract:: 2020 and 2021 brought the first reported outbreaks of salmonellosis epidemiologically linked to dry bulb onions in the United States. Outbreak investigations were not able to implicate a specific source of the contamination but speculated that contaminated water was a significant contributor. The Produce Safety Rule established minimum standards for...
