Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the
development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding
how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This
study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development
of decision-making competence (DMC), a...
Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...
Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...
The choice of what to eat is political, and food systems shape and are shaped by political and economic power. During the last several hundred years, agricultural and food power has been consolidated to an unprecedented degree, and this consolidation continues today. This paper will describe this process as “Governing...
The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-dye laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a minimally invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they...
The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a process commonly used to create additively manufactured metal parts. The flexibility and complexity allowed by the LPBF process provides opportunity for significant advancement in multiple industries as parts can be customized in shape and function for specific needs. These benefits can be compounded...
The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...
Oregon State University Extension employs county-based Extension Faculty to deliver educational programs to communities across the state. County Extension Faculty are expected to be competent in various content and training can help prepare faculty for the profession. Using a needs assessment approach, this research evaluated the training available. The results...
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential agent of the innate immune system which exhibits multi-mechanistic antimicrobial activity. Previously, increased antimicrobial activity against E. coli with nitric oxide releasing nanoparticles (NO-np) was demonstrated when combined with glutathione, versus NO-np alone, due to formation of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a potent transnitrosylating agent. To...
