Pre-Med Attrition: Exploring the Pre-Med Experience at OSU

Creator:: Xue, Han
Abstract:: Pre-med attrition is the loss of students participating in academic pre-medical programs over time. Attrition in medical school has been the subject of many studies, but pre-med attrition is less researched, despite its relevance to the emergence and performance of future medical professionals. Interviewing former pre-med students who chose other...

An Analysis of Surveys to Determine the Effectiveness of Bias in Question Wording as a Method of Skewing Reported Opinions

Creator:: Sharkansky, Benjamin I.
Abstract:: Clear and unbiased question wording is important to obtaining consistent and accurate survey results. However, if the goal is not to obtain accurate results but instead to obtain a specific result, then altering question wording may be effective. To examine this possibility, we created a survey with 9 different versions...

Early Selection for Improving Volume Growth in Coastal Douglas-fir Breeding Programs

Creator:: Ye, T. Z. and Jayawickrama, K. J. S.
Abstract:: Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...

Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

Creator:: McLaughlin, Zachery D.
Abstract:: The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....

Estimating the Size of Clustered Hidden Populations

Creator:: Gamble, Laura J.
Abstract:: Successive sampling population size estimation (SS-PSE) is a method used by government agencies and aid organizations around the world to estimate the size of hidden populations using data from respondent-driven sampling (RDS) surveys. SS-PSE ad-dresses a specific need in estimation and helps us evaluate the vulnerability of areas to HIV...

Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

Creator:: McLaughlin, Ryan P.
Abstract:: Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

Stress at deformations beyond the elastic limit for compression perpendicular to the grain in hem-fir

Creator:: McLaughlin, Edward J.
Abstract:: Allowable stresses in compression perpendicular to the grain (C-perp) have been too conservative for most structural uses. This study develops stress data for deformations beyond the proportional limit (PL), up to 0.1 inch for hem-fir. Fifteen boards from four western states were cut into small specimens representing three ring angle...

A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

Creator:: McLaughlin, Matthew
Abstract:: "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

Bitterness modifying properties of hop polyphenols

Creator:: McLaughlin, Ian R.
Abstract:: This study examined whether polyphenols contribute a harsh bitterness to beer, and how polyphenols may otherwise modify beer bitterness in the presence of iso-a-acids. The experimental portions of this project were divided into effectively two segments. The first section of the study encompassed groundwork polyphenol extraction development, and the examination...
