  • Hybrid Survey Networks : Combining Real-time and Static GNSS Observations for Optimizing Height Modernization

    Creator:
    Weaver, Brian Jerald
    Abstract:
    To derive ellipsoid heights on passive marks with cm-level accuracy, many current specifications require the collection and adjustment of long-duration, static Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sessions. To increase efficiency, a survey procedure that includes real-time kinematic vectors from a real-time GNSS network (RTN) was evaluated. Thirty different “hybrid” networks...

  • Advection-diffusion in inertial flow through periodically converging-diverging tubes

    Creator:
    Lambert, Adam
    Abstract:
    A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was carried out using the commercial finite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds numbers, steady-state eddies formed in the diverging sections and significantly influenced the macroscale dispersion. Long...

  • Impact of Unfolded Protein Response, USP14, and NEDD8 Inhibitors Upon Antigen Presentation in SaI/Ak and 4T1 Tumor Cell Lines

    Creator:
    Godil, Jamila A.
    Abstract:
    Antigen presentation is a mechanism used by cells to present peptides on the cell surface. Peptides, derived from both viral or self-proteins are presented on the cell surface by MHC Class I molecules to be recognized and detected by cytotoxic T cells. T cells comprise the defense system to protect...

  • Predicting mechanical instability of a cylindrical plate under axial flow conditions

    Creator:
    Marcum, Wade R.
    Abstract:
    Five U.S. high performance research reactors (HPRRs) are currently part of an international nonproliferation program with the objective of ultimately converting their highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to a new high density, low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel while still maintaining their reactor kinetic and thermal hydraulic performance. A uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo)...

  • Problems of Shape and Information in Multiscale Modeling of Transport Phenomena

    Creator:
    Ostvar, Sassan
    Abstract:
    This work is a compilation of problems that deal with multiscale analysis of transport phenomena in environmental systems. A common feature among the problems studied here is the presence of non-negligible microscale structure in various forms. Each problem is approached from the perspective that a macroscopic observable encodes aspects of...

  • Thermal hydraulic analysis of the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor using RELAP5-3D

    Creator:
    Marcum, Wade R.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has recently conducted a complete core conversion analysis as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Pprogram. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate natural circulation flow rates, coolant temperatures and fuel temperatures as a function of core power for both...

  • Morality and materialism : American conservatives and science, 1945-1964

    Creator:
    Schefke, Brian R.
    Abstract:
    Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....

  • Evaluating Methods of Aligning Real-Time GNSS Networks to the National Spatial Reference System

    Creator:
    Ohene, William
    Abstract:
    Aligning Real-Time Networks (RTNs) with the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is crucial to ensure accuracy, consistency, interoperability, and long-term data integrity for geospatial applications. However, the effectiveness of different alignment methods as well as the need for monitoring approaches to maintain alignment consistency with the NSRS have not yet...

    Saranam, Venkata Rajesh
    Abstract:
    In the second chapter, a foam-core meniscus coating process was developed for retrofitting 100 nm-scale sol-gel anti-reflective coatings onto in-field solar panels through the deposition, evaporation, and curing of wet films.Advantages of this technique include the means to control fluid flow relative to substrate motion and the ability to conform...
