The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...
The purpose of this project was to provide a tool for the Aerial Team of the Robotics Club with an application to control a UAV for automated missions - the Aerial Team's focus is automation of UAVs. This application lays out the foundations to allow future members of the Aerial...
Parking around Oregon State University campus can be severely limited, and for students looking to spend all day studying and going to classes it can be a pain to find parking that lasts for more than two hours. This thesis aims to resolve these issues by developing an application called...
A multitude of biotic and physical factors, many of them unique to riparian environments, interacted to form an extremely complex ecosystem along Catherine Creek in the Wallowa Mountains. A total of 258 stands of vegetation representing 60 communities was identified. At least 20 species of mammals and 81 species of...
Simple, ellipsoidal geometries have long been the standard for estimating
radiation dose rates in non-human biota (NHB). With the introduction of a regulatory
protection standard that emphasizes protection of NHB as its own endpoint, there has
been interest in improved models for the calculation of dose rates in NHB. Here...

With congressional passage of the BEACH Act in October of 2000, Coastal and Great Lakes states were mandated to assess coastal recreation waters for the application of ambient water quality standards. This research encompasses two components involved in applying the BEACH Act statues to Oregon. The first component was to...
In 1990, the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments authorized the regulation of 188 hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Exposure to HAPs at sufficient concentrations and durations can increase both cancer and serious adverse non-carcinogenic effects. The purpose of this study was to conduct a human health risk assessment using data of...
