  • Effect of row cover and supplemental Ca fertilization on blossom-end rot in bell pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum, Grossom Group)

    Creator:
    Alexander, Shara E.
    Abstract:
    A 2-year trial was conducted at Oregon State University's Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center to examine the effects of spunbonded row cover and supplemental calcium fertilization on blossom-end rot in two varieties of bell pepper. Blossom-end rot is a common cause of bell pepper yield losses, especially at the...

  • The Alexander polynomial

    Creator:
    Scherich, Nancy
    Abstract:
    The Alexander polynomial is a well understood classical knot invariant with interesting symmetry properties and recent applications in knot Floer homology. There are many different ways to compute the Alexander polynomial, some involving algebraic techniques and others more geometric or combinatorial approaches. This is an interesting example of how different...

  • Verifying safe use of a thinner aluminum scattering chamber for fission physics

    Creator:
    Porter, Eben, Jr.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes calculations done to determine the radiation hazard of the current Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) scattering chamber at the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) and compare it to the amount that would be given off by a new thin-walled chamber design. These calculations were completed with...

  • A second look at Alexander Pope and Newtonian science

    Creator:
    Reid, Tim S.
    Abstract:
    "This Long Disease, My Life": Alexander Pope and the Sciences by Marjorie Nicolson and G.S. Rousseau has been the standard work on Alexander Pope and Newtonian science ever since it was published in 1968. Literary scholars and biographers continue to be swayed by its influence. Unfortunately, the work they so...

  • Ensemble-variational data assimilation for dynamically challenging coastal ocean circulation

    Creator:
    Pasmans, Ivo
    Abstract:
    Currently, forecasts produced by the Oregon-Washington (OR-WA) Coastal Ocean Forecast System are constrained by assimilation of only surface observations. The 4-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation (DA) algorithm is utilized to combine the model and the data, with the time-independent forecast ("background'') error covariance B. In this study, two possible improvements...

  • Spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection

    Creator:
    Adrion, Robert Foisy
    Abstract:
    This is a review paper based on recent literature in the areas of spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection. The Fabry-Perot interferometer with spherical mirrors has been widely used as a laser resonator. The modes of oscillation, diffraction losses and resonance condition are determined for the confocal resonator, i.e....

  • Gas ratio and pressure effects on the 6328 A⁰ transition of the helium-neon gas laser

    Creator:
    Freytag, Edwin Karl
    Abstract:
    This is a review paper of current literature in the area of pressure effects on gaseous lasers. This thesis discusses the mechanisms which relate the relative power output of the 6328 A[superscript ⁰] neon transition to total and partial pressure variations of the helium-neon gaseous laser. The operation of the...

  • Analysis of the D. C. electric field for a pipeline in a three layered earth

    Creator:
    Brandenstein, Albert Edward
    Abstract:
    This paper develops an equation, from an heuristic set of assumptions, which describes the axial current, leakage current, resultant electric field, and resultant earth potential occurring when a pipeline buried within a resistive earth is subjected to a distributed, primary, axial, electrostatic field produced from a high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC) power...

  • Microstrips on gold-doped silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Lai, Cheng-wen
    Abstract:
    The power dissipation of microstrip transmission-line on gold-doped silicon substrates was investigated. The gold-doping was applied to a regular n-type silicon substrate with resistivity of 5 to 10 ohm-cm. Insertion-loss tests were employed to measure the power dissipation of the microstrips. Power dissipation somewhat less than that for intrinsic silicon...
