  • Imagining the Future into Reality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of The Jetsons

    Creator:
    Myrick, Jane E.
    Abstract:
    This investigation examines The Jetsons’ vision of the future and tracks to what extent the content of the show is relevant to the modern era, both technologically and socially. Much of the dazzling technology in the show feels familiar, and most of it is either already available or is in...

  • Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

    Creator:
    Parham, Anne A
    Abstract:
    Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...

  • Examination of the Impact of One-Dimensional Crustal Structures on Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Locations

    Creator:
    Meyer, McKenzie S.
    Abstract:
    Multiple earthquake events have been recorded off the coast of Oregon, yet their locations have great uncertainty. The largest source of uncertainty is the simple models of the crust that are used to interpret seismic recordings. Because the relationship between earthquake locations and crust are diagnostic of tectonic activity, it...

  • Mythical anatomy of dragons

    Creator:
    Coughlin, Emma
    Abstract:
    I researched depictions of dragons in several works of modern literature to conceptualize what a dragon looks like and how they generally function in popular media. From there, I researched several key characteristics of dragons to see how they work with science’s current understanding. I looked into size and scaling,...

  • Analysis of Radio Signals for New Pulsar Detection

    Creator:
    Downing, Jaden
    Abstract:
    The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) times periodic signals from pulsars as a method of detecting gravitational waves. NANOGrav detects waves emitted in the nanohertz frequency range, a range lower than those previously explored by other organizations. This allows for the study of rarely observed sources such...

  • E+A galaxy and spiral E+A galaxy candidates in the Hercules supercluster

    Creator:
    Williams, Rosemary H.
    Abstract:
    E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...

  • Corrugation Instabilities Across Shock Fronts in Magnetohydrodynamical Astrophysical Systems

    Creator:
    Mullins, Austin Charles
    Abstract:
    Slow magnetosonic shock fronts are unstable to changes made to their shape, a phenomenon known as corrugation instability. The computational models studied considers a system where plasma travels across a shock front. Using the code Linogen, the corrugation instability of a shock front can be theoretically modeled. The results show...

  • Heart Disease Knowledge, Awareness, and Perceived Risk in Oregon State University Students

    Creator:
    Hirsch, Lindsay N.
    Abstract:
    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. but is often thought of as a man’s disease. Women with CVD, however, suffer poorer health outcomes due to previous education of stereotypically “male” signs and symptoms of heart attacks, despite the fact...

  • Artistic Interpretation of the Significance of Human Breast Cancer Cell Vinculin Distribution in Different Extracellular Matrix Conditions

    Creator:
    Hsiao, Yu-Tin
    Abstract:
    There are clues that suggest human breast cancer cells use collagen fibers to migrate, and vinculin is a transmembrane protein associated with how cells attach to their environment. Therefore, immunostaining for the vinculin will shed some light in how human breast cancer cells are attaching to their environment. Immunostaining for...

  • Locating and Observing Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

    Creator:
    Díaz, Ian H.
    Abstract:
    By studying gravitational waves, we can gain new insights into the merging events between massive objects such as black holes as well as neutron stars. Moreover, studying low-frequency waves allows us to observe merging events between supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which in turn allows us to...
