Oregon State University has conducted research in collaboration with TerraPower, LLC,
to perform a top-down scaling analysis of an integrated test facility. The goal of this
facility is to simulate transient and quasi-steady phenomena at a reduced scale,
including steady-state operation, pump coastdown, natural circulation, reactor head heat
transfer, and...
BACKGROUND: Within-host microbial communities and interactions among microbes are increasingly recognized as
important factors influencing host health and pathogen transmission. The microbial community associated with a
host is indeed influenced by a complex network of direct and indirect interactions between the host and the lineages
of microbes it harbors, but...

An experimental investigation has been made of the effect of
vibration on heat transfer from a cylinder in crossflow. The
cylinder used was 3/16-inch in diameter and was sinusoidally
oscillated in the vertical direction by a mechanical drive mechanism
while immersed in an open water channel. Nominal amplitude
ratios, a/d,...
This study deals primarily with the evaluation and improvement of the content of a college-level drafting course for air conditioning engineering students. The necessity for better integration of the mechanical and architectural elements contained in the course, and an adequate coverage of field drafting room practices were the chief evidences...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Change
Analysis Program (C-CAP) is developing a nationally standardized database on landcover
and habitat change in the coastal regions of the United States. The Willapa Bay eelgrass
mapping project was granted to the Columbia River Estuary Study Task force (CREST)
of Astoria,...
