Hot, hot, heat : evaluating Phoenix, Arizona cooling centers through a project management perspective

Creator:: Leone, Cassandra M.
Abstract:: Global annual average temperatures are rising, creating extreme heat events or heatwaves that are increasing in frequency, length, and severity. The world will endure more of these events as climate change worsens and heat-related mortality and morbidity will increase due to warming conditions. At the center of heatwaves are urban...

Development of a Collision Detection Module for Avian and Bat Species on Wind Turbine

Creator:: Davis, Cassandra L.
Abstract:: Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...

Continuous microwave extraction of peppermint oil

Creator:: Smith, Connor J.
Abstract:: Steam distillation has been the common method of extraction of essential oils from plants for more than a century. The use of microwave energy has been suggested as an alternative distillation method that would: reduce water usage, dependence on non-renewable energy sources, and the carbon footprint. A byproduct of this...

Diversity and Impact of Soft Rot Pathogens of Potato in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Brazil, Jessie A.
Abstract:: Bacterial soft rot of potato (Solanum tuberosum), caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species, is among the most common and destructive potato diseases in the United States. These pathogens cause a variety of vascular wilts, and in potato cause a disease complex that includes tuber soft rot, blackleg, aerial stem rot,...

Historical landscape reconstruction and perceptual geography of Mount Hood, Oregon

Creator:: Belgam, Daniel R.
Abstract:: This research seeks to understand the influences of perception on land use around the Mount Hood area of Oregon and evaluate how it has evolved over the past 4,000 years. The study addresses three specific questions: 1) How has the study area evolved over time into the modern landscape? 2)...

Feeding Ecology and Food Web Linkages of Yearling Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Migrating Through the Lower Columbia River and Estuary

Creator:: Munguia, Angelica
Abstract:: The Columbia River Basin historically supported abundant populations of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) but, largely due to anthropogenic influence, many populations are now listed as threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Habitat restoration efforts have been a critical component of salmon recovery plans. However, although the importance...

Trophically transmitted parasites as ecosystem indicators : relationships among parasite community structure, juvenile salmon diet composition, and ocean conditions

Creator:: Losee, James P.
Abstract:: Recent research conducted throughout the Northern California Current (NCC) on the ecology of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) indicates that variable ocean conditions affect the community composition of zooplankton in the nearshore environment which, in turn, can affect the quality of prey for fish, sea birds and mammals. Interannual variability in...
