    Creator:
    Hines, Gustavus
    Abstract:
    Wild life in Oregon : being a stirring recital of actual scenes of daring and peril among the gigantic forests and terrific rapids of the Columbia River (the Mississippi of the Pacific slope). And giving life-like pictures of terrific encounters with savages ... Including a full, fair and reliable history...

  • Effects of Elevated CO₂ on Speckled Sanddab (Citharichthys stigmaeus) Behavior

    Creator:
    Andrade, Jessica F.
    Abstract:
    The direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification (OA) are a growing concern, particularly in areas already experiencing elevated levels of oceanic CO₂. Studies with marine fishes suggest that elevated CO₂ levels may affect behavior by interfering with an important brain neurotransmitter. Studies examining the effects of OA fish behavior...

  • A Case Study of TRIO's Role in Promoting Students' Self-Perceived Financial Literacy

    Creator:
    Yang, Ling
    Abstract:
    College students are learning to make increasingly complex financial decisions, facing high tuition and living costs while having limited means to make a living. Studies show that most college students lack sufficient financial literacy. They need a well-designed financial education, especially if they are low-income, first-generation students whose parents are...

  • Rope Selection for Rope Drive Transmissions Used in Robotic Manipulation

    Creator:
    Summers, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Wire and fiber ropes used in rigorous CBOS (cyclic bend over sheave) applications were investigated. Small diameter stainless steel, tungsten, and Vectran® ropes were tested over small sheaves at high loads and cycle speeds. Sheaves were made with Al6061-T6511 and Al7075-T651 and were coated with 0.002” hard coat anodize; some...

  • From running birds to walking robots : optimization as a unifying framework for dynamic bipedal locomotion

    Creator:
    Hubicki, Christian M.
    Abstract:
    Bipedal locomotion is a complex phenomenon to understand and control, making it difficult for legged robots to achieve the speed, agility, efficiency, and robustness of their animal counterparts. This thesis argues for the use of numerical optimization to investigate and implement bipedal control as it applies to biology, dynamical models,...

  • The ecology of parasite interactions within Chinook salmon

    Creator:
    Hurst, Charlene N.
    Abstract:
    The within-host interactions that can occur as a result of mixed infections in wildlife likely influence the outcome of an infection. We investigated the infection frequency and outcome as well as the potential mechanisms regulating mixed infections with two Ceratonova shasta genotypes within the Chinook salmon host. Previous research in...

  • Natal source contributions of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) recruits in the southeastern Bering Sea

    Creator:
    DiMaria, Ruth A.
    Abstract:
    Effective and sustainable fisheries management not only depends on identifying and defining stocks (fundamental unit of management), but also on having knowledge of factors influencing the abundance, distribution and connectivity of stocks. Population structure of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the southeastern Bering Sea (EBS) remains unresolved although genetic data...

  • Catalysis of Biologically Relevant Chlorination Reactions by Nicotine, and Potential Relevance to Tissue Damage

    Creator:
    Dolan, Brigh G.
    Abstract:
    This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...

    Creator:
    Hector, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Design and control of legged robots is a popular field in the pursuit of building robots that can be as mobile as humans. While much effort is put into understanding how to control the dynamics of these legs, less effort is focused on designing and controlling robot ankles. Ankles on...
