Marilyn Owens Interview
No full textThis interview is an oral history with Marilyn Owens conducted by Alyssa Ralston. The interview took place at the Jereld R. Nicholson Library at Linfield University on January 29, 2024.
Marilyn Owens is a Linfield 1953 alumna. In this interview, Marilyn dives into all things life and Linfield. Marilyn talks about choosing Linfield through its association with the church and the scholarship opportunity she was offered. She shares all things student life, like sports, sorority, and soda-shop.
Later on, Marilyn talks about meeting her husband and what their early life looked like. She then shares about their journey back to McMinnville after retirement. Marilyn leaves us with her hopes for Linfield and its students
Predicting Professional Football (Soccer) Player Salaries
No full textThis paper examines the relationship between financial power, player recruitment strategies, and wage determination in professional football clubs, focusing on the Premier League. Professional football is run like a business, and the players are the inputs. Relative to other sports, soccer isn’t paid based on position but rather the individual\u27s qualities. Using a regression analysis based on data from Football Manager 2023, the study investigates the impact of variables such as age, club affiliation, playing position, and appearances on player wages. Surprisingly, age shows a negative correlation with wages, indicating a preference for younger talents. Club affiliation, particularly with top-tier teams like Chelsea and Manchester City, positively influences wage levels. Additionally, how often a player appears for their club and country strongly influences how much they are paid. Research suggests the more Club’s spend on players, the more likely they are to succeed and grow as a business. Other analysis has indicated there has lately been an overassessment of low-level players. These findings offer valuable insights for club managers and talent scouts regarding player recruitment and contract negotiations in the highly competitive football industry
Relationship Of the Number of Graphene Layers and Its Adhesion Value
No full textTwo-dimensional materials such as graphene have become leading topics of research for scientists everywhere. Its remarkable properties have sparked intense research interest across various disciplines, ranging from materials science and physics to electronics and energy. As one of the thinnest, strongest, and most conductive materials known to humanity, graphene holds immense promise for revolutionizing numerous technological applications, and these applications are growing every day. With the numerous applications of this material the need for knowing exactly how many layers you have is growing. Using an adhesion value and a known thickness range the number of layers of graphene should correlate giving a quick an easy measurement to know the exact number of layers
Fabrication and Characterization of Nano-Imprintable Metal-Oxide Thin Films for Use in Augmented Reality
No full textInvestigation into the augmented reality, heads-up display, and anti-reflective lens applications for spin-coated, nano-imprintable, metal oxide thin films. This project occurred in partnership with The Phosio Corporation, a startup company in Corvallis, OR. Novel metal oxide solutions and imprinted nanofeatures utilized spin coating thin-film deposition and nano-imprint lithography. Spectroscopic ellipsometry, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize blanket thin films and augmented reality waveguide nanofeatures.

Synthesis and Preliminary Bioactivity of Potential Inhibitors of Arp 2/3 Complex
Full text linkThe primary objective of this research is synthesizing derivatives of known Arp2/3 inhibitor CK-666 and to determine their potency of inhibition of the Actin Related Protein (Arp 2/3) complex. A potent Arp2/3 inhibitor may be of interest in clinical anti-cancer and anti-tumor applications. Additionally, an Arp2/3 inhibitor with nanomolar potency could be used to advance basic actin dynamics research. Herein the organic synthetic efforts towards the 2-methyl-7-azaindole derivative of the known Arp2/3 inhibitor CK-666 are described. Polymerization assays providing preliminary in vitro IC50 data are also discussed
