This thesis presents the development of a supervisory controller for a pre-commercial
Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM) drive system. In addition,
characterizations of new diecast rotors for the BDFM are presented. U ...
More than 65,000 organic chemicals are currently in commercial production with
approximately 1000 added each year. Many chemicals are released into the environment as organic mixtures derived from complex hazardous or s ...
The objective of this study was to characterize an unknown agent associated with
decline in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon. A virus was found
consistently associated with decline symptoms of black raspb ...
Marine diatoms are a class of microalgae that possess cell walls composed of silica
nanoparticles. These organisms actively assimilate silicic acid Si(OH)4 from seawater, polymerize silicic acid to silica nanoparticles ...
Emerging river policy has launched small dam removal as a viable option to meet the ecological and social demands for river restoration. As small dam removals gain precedence as a policy tool in river restoration project ...
Three studies were conducted to characterize and present early-seral
competition between Douglas-fir seedlings and the surrounding vegetation
communities during Pacific Northwest forest establishment. The first experim ...
Furrow irrigation is the dominant practice for irrigating row crops in the
western Treasure Valley region near Ontario, Oregon. Though improvements

Several state and federal agencies have identified Oregon's coastal wetlands as
priority areas for conservation, and in some cases have specifically singled out
nontidal (mostly palustrine) wetlands as a major concern. ...
Current compression perpendicular-to-grain (c-perp) design values for wood members are based on mean stress using the ASTM D143 specimen. Base design value, as determined from 0.04-in deformation in the ASTM specimen, is ...
This study was designed to identify and characterize areas of concentrated use and diving behavior of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) off the California coast. During the summer of 2004, thirteen blue whales were tag ...
Shallow, translational landslides occur naturally and are the dominant form of erosion in the Pacific Northwest and the Oregon Coast Range. These landslides are triggered during large, infrequent storms. Forest managemen ...
A changing raw material supply and smaller, generally lower quality peeler logs,
are causing surface characteristics in veneer that can adversely affect glue-bond
performance. When lower quality logs are peeled, roughe ...
Curricular models and teaching techniques that support college students as the primary authors of their writing-across-the-curriculum experiences remain largely unexplored. This thesis addresses that research gap by inve ...
Chazzonos, as presented here for my thesis, represents three chapters
of what will be a novel of the same name. Chazzonos is about Hal
Perlmutter, a cantor, who at the outset of the novel, is resigning his position
