Riboflavin status was determined in 16 Oriental
males and females who were residing off the Oregon State
University campus. Before and after these subjects had
received 10 mg of riboflavin daily for 7 days, we measured
erythrocyte glutathione reductase (EGR) activity with and
without FAD added in vitro and erythrocyte...
The use of data extracted from particle image velocimetry (PIV) along with vector and tensor visualization techniques provides a valuable tool for understanding a complex flow field. By studying a simple geometric structure such as a cylinder under a simple transient waveform, fundamental mechanisms of wake development under solitary wave...
An understanding of natural coastal hazards is essential for improving resilience of coastal communities. Effective management of coastal hazards relies on prediction tools and mitigation structures that have been designed to handle the dynamic coastal system. This dissertation is a collection of manuscripts that cover a diverse range of fundamental...
The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on
selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in
muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W
was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...
The objective of the research presented herein is to elucidate the effect of traps in determining amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor (AOS TFT) performance using modeling and characterization. A novel method is proposed to extract the interface state distribution from a TFT transfer curve. Analysis of zinc-indium oxide (ZIO), zinc-tin...
Control of high-speed, light-weight robotic manipulators is a challenge because of their special dynamic characteristics. In this work, a two-stage control algorithm for the position control of flexible manipulators is proposed. First, the more complex, flexible robot system is replaced by a simplified hypothetical rigid body system (HRRA) with off-line...
The near-surface region of a coastal sediment bed is complex and dynamic. At some sites, near-surface sediment deposits are susceptible to extreme events, such as tsunamis or other large overflows, which induce high shear stresses on the sediment bed. The specific properties of sediment beds subjected to such extreme loading...
Sports analytics is rapidly evolving today through the use of computer vision systems that automatically extract huge amount of information inherently present in multimedia data without much human assistance. This information can facilitate a better understanding of patterns and strategies in various sports. However, for non-professional teams, due to expense...
Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...
