  • Degradation of graphite electrodes in acidic bromine electrolytes

    Creator:
    Bistrika, Alexander A.
    Abstract:
    As the world's power needs grow, the demand for power from renewable resources, such as wind or solar is increasing. One major drawback associated with these renewable resources is that the power output is dependent on environmental factors, such as cloud cover and wind speeds. This allows the possibility of...

  • 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...

  • Wind ramp prediction

    Creator:
    Alexander, Chianna M.
    Abstract:
    The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

  • 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...

  • Efficacy of Cultural Practices for Mitigating the Negative Impacts of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus on Vine Physiology and Fruit Composition in Oregon Pinot Noir

    Creator:
    Copp, Cody R.
    Abstract:
    The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....

  • Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

    Creator:
    Osborne, John J.
    Abstract:
    Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). 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...

  • Frequency-domain, parameter estimation for a brushless, doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Ramchandran, Ashok
    Abstract:
    A Brushless, Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) attempts to combine the advantages of conventional induction and synchronous types of electrical machines by its unique architecture. The validation of BDFM designs in an actual test environment requires the estimation of the BDFM model parameters from actual experimentation. Accurate values for the parameters...
