  • Community College Interdisciplinary Learning Goes to University

    Creator:
    Hattendorf, Bruce J.
    Abstract:
    This phenomenological study explores the effects that an interdisciplinary program of study at a community college has on students once they transfer to a four-year institution. Interdisciplinary approaches have been proposed as a way of meeting the complex thinking skills needed for 21st Century learning. Because interdisciplinary learning is complex,...

  • Surfactant Effects on Adsorption of Recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) at the Air-Water Interface

    Creator:
    Gray, Warren D.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal was to characterize the adsorption of a recombinant therapeutic protein in the presence of selected surfactant species at the air-water interface. For this purpose, dynamic interfacial tensiometry was used to determine the surface tension kinetics exhibited by protein solutions containing either Tween 80 or the poly[ethylene oxide]-...

  • Using a heuristic programming method for incorporating wildlife habitat constraints into spatial harvest scheduling on the Elliott State Forest

    Creator:
    Lennette, Marie
    Abstract:
    The Elliott State Forest, located in the Coast Range of Oregon, is currently revising their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Many of the constraints in the HCP are spatial, requiring identification of specific parcels in order to limit activity along habitat reserves, limit harvest opening size, and to coordinate activities within...

  • Biodiesel in Oregon : an agricultural perspective

    Creator:
    Lahmann, Emily Loren
    Abstract:
    Biodiesel is a renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable diesel fuel made from agricultural feedstocks. With a vibrant agricultural industry, Oregon is positioned to play an important role in the future of this energy source. Limiting factors to widespread biodiesel production include low value of biodiesel feedstock crops, lack of infrastructure, lagging...

  • Hysteresis and Dissipation Coefficient in Recreational Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability Compared to Controls

    Creator:
    Joiner, Trenton
    Abstract:
    Ligaments serve to control the movements of bones and joints within the body. Viscoelastic properties, such as hysteresis, allow them to perform their functions; however, these properties may change following injury. Understanding alterations in viscoelastic properties may be useful in diagnosing, tracking, and determining treatment effectiveness in Chronic Ankle Instability...

  • Mixing and Finger Morphologies in Miscible Non-Newtonian Fluid Displacement

    Creator:
    Mehr, Nicole
    Abstract:
    We found unexpected complexities resulting from the miscible displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid for both convergent and divergent flow as observed by displacing a miscible shear-thinning fluid (xanthan gum) in a radial Hele-Shaw cell. Such complex patterns have not been described before for either Newtonian or non- Newtonian fluids. A...

    Swann, Britany and Swann, Britany M.
    Abstract:
    Additive manufacturing and 3D printing have become household names as both hobbyistsand industrial manufacturers utilize fast, inexpensive prototyping and production of functionalparts. Additive manufacturing is being revolutionized with 3D printers such as theMulti Jet Fusion 3D from HP, Inc., where each volume pixel, or voxel, can be independentlyfunctionalized. Voxel-by-voxel printing...

  • Effect of salinity on particle release and hydraulic conductivity in sediments

    Creator:
    Blume, Theresa
    Abstract:
    Fine particles and colloids, attached to grain surfaces, are abundant in the earth's subsurface. Under certain conditions these particles can be released from the matrix and transported with the mobile phase. One of the mechanisms for sudden particle release is a decrease in groundwater salt concentration below the critical salt...

  • Thermodynamics of Laser-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of Yttrium Oxide

    Creator:
    Dhas, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...
