Exploring Novel Contrast Agents with Anthropomorphic Mesh Models in MCNP

Creator:: Garcia, Jacqueline K.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women with an estimated 13% of women in the United States developing a form of invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. The survival rate is estimated to be 85%, but the American Cancer Society estimates that early detection of breast cancer in the...

Radiation Detection Using a Semiconducting Nanocrystal Detector

Creator:: Rinaldi, David William
Abstract:: Nanostructured material has been projected to be the next generation material for the detection of ionizing radiation due to the uniquely superior physical processes associated with charge creation and by virtue of their optoelectronic tunablility. Semiconducting Nanocrystal (NC) detectors, by nature of their low band gap material, low fabrication costs,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in aqueous and ionic liquid solutions in a microreactor with TiO₂ catalyst; experiment and modeling

Creator:: Campbell, Travis J.
Abstract:: Microtechnology was used to study the chemical reduction of dissolved carbon dioxide into useful products. A novel TiO₂ photocatalyst was used to activate the reaction under ultraviolet irradiation. CO₂ was dissolved in aqueous and 50% BMIM-BF₄ (ionic liquid) solutions. The introduction of an ionic liquid increased the solubility of CO₂...

Alternative design considerations for a wave energy converter : a sustainability approach

Creator:: Collins, Erin
Abstract:: As the negative impacts of a fossil fueled electricity market are becoming more prevalent and destructive, the necessity for alternative energy techniques increases as well. However, before commercial implementation is underway, these alternatives must be assessed from three important perspectives: environmentally, economically, and socially, which are known as the three...

Verifying safe use of a thinner aluminum scattering chamber for fission physics

Creator:: Porter, Eben, Jr.
Abstract:: This thesis describes calculations done to determine the radiation hazard of the current Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) scattering chamber at the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) and compare it to the amount that would be given off by a new thin-walled chamber design. These calculations were completed with...

Influence of Two-Phase Fuel on Detonation Behavior

Creator:: Barlow, Dustin
Abstract:: Detonation combustion is of great interest for propulsion devices because of its potential to increase thermodynamic efficiency, reduce the weight of current gas turbine engines, and rapidly accelerate to high Mach numbers. Detonation engines might also have the ability to decrease harmful exhaust products from traditional propulsion methods. In order...

A Novel Method for the Quantitative Assessment of Fingered Robot Hand Designs for In-Hand Manipulation using Human Studies and Object-Centric Benchmarks

Creator:: Morrow, John F., IV
Abstract:: Fingered robot hands are complicated systems made of three essential system components: its morphology, its actuation, and its software control. These system components are tightly coupled to each other. Due to this, it is hard to benchmark robot hand performance in a way to understand the contributions of the individual...

Early Design Evaluation of See-Through Automotive A-pillar Concepts Using Digital Human Modeling and Mixed Reality Techniques

Creator:: Srinivasan, Sriram
Abstract:: Pillars in modern vehicles provide structural integrity by surrounding the windows and joining the roof with the frame. Although they protect the driver and passengers, A-pillars also create obstruction zones by limiting drivers' forward field of view leading to unforeseeable accidents or mishaps. We argue that providing a better pillar...

Shear Moduli Estimates of Thermoplastic Natural Fiber Composites via Off-Axis Tensile Tests

Creator:: Johnson, Natalie N.
Abstract:: Fiber reinforced polymers have gained considerable attention due to their wide range of applications, leading to significative concerns for end-of-life recyclability and disposal. Natural fibers and recycled carbon fibers, coupled with thermoplastic matrices can provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials. This study focused on experimental materials...

Neutron Flux-Energy Spectral Characterization of a Deuterium-Tritium Neutron Generator at Oregon State University

Creator:: Eastman, Abigail L.
Abstract:: The neutron flux-energy spectral characterization of a Thermo Fisher MP320 deuterium-tritium neutron generator was performed for two shielding configurations, one with substantial moderator between the source and the sample and one without such moderator. The STAYSL PNNL spectral adjustment code was utilized in conjunction with MCNP modelled reference spectra and...
