Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

Correlations of sea surface height and solid earth tides with seismicity in the equatorial Pacific Ocean : a GIS approach

Creator:: Zennaro, Barbara
Abstract:: In the equatorial Pacific Ocean, earthquakes are used as an indicator of tectonic stress for normal faults in the Galapagos Spreading Center, transform faults along the East Pacific Rise and thrust faults in the Middle American subduction zone. Linkages between seafloor tectonic processes and oceanographic and lunar conditions were explored...

Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Duncan, Corinne M.
Abstract:: Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...

Fish and invertebrate distribution at multiple scales in Thomas Creek, Oregon : a transition from conifer uplands to agricultural lowlands

Creator:: Langshaw, Russell B.
Abstract:: Longitudinal patterns of fish and benthic invertebrate distribution and habitat use were similar in Thomas Creek, Oregon but clarity of these patterns differed. I studied fish and aquatic invertebrates simultaneously, at multiple scales, and used multivariate statistical techniques to compare responses to the same environmental conditions. Both types of organisms...

Submarine plateau volcanism and Cretaceous Ocean Anoxic Event 1a : geochemical evidence from Aptian sedimentary sections

Creator:: Walczak, Paul S.
Abstract:: Marine sediments exceptionally rich in organic carbon, known as black shales, occur globally but intermittently in well correlated Cretaceous successions. The presence of black shales indicates that sporadic, ocean-wide interruption of normal respiration of marine organic matter during oxygen-deficient conditions has occurred. Submarine volcanism on a massive scale, related to...

Hydrothermal links between ocean plateau formation and global anoxia at the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary

Creator:: Snow, Laura J.
Abstract:: The Cretaceous was a period of extreme climatic conditions accompanied by major perturbations in ocean-atmosphere biogeochemical cycles. One of the most intriguing features is the sporadic interruption of normal marine pelagic sediment deposition by organic rich sediments deposited during oxygen-deficient conditions (ocean anoxic events OAEs). A current model for the...

"They called me the hyacinth girl" : T. S. Eliot, masculinity, and the Great War

Creator:: Query, Patrick
Abstract:: This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...

Nature in chains : the effects of Thomas Jefferson’s rectangular survey on a Pacific Northwest landscape

Creator:: Schweickert, Tina K.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of humans on the environment has long been a topic of scholarly interest and debate. As environmental problems mount, accounts of historic ecological conditions and the factors of change become increasingly useful. This study considers competing schools of interpretation about human impacts on ecological landscapes and develops...

A comparison of substrate noise coupling in lightly and heavily doped CMOS processes for 2.4 GHz LNA's

Creator:: Hazenboom, Duncan S.
Abstract:: Three types of low noise amplifiers operating at 2.4GHz were designed. They are the commonly used single-ended and differential amplifiers as well as a new quasi-differential amplifier. The substrate noise injected into these amplifiers is examined for both heavily and lightly doped CMOS substrates. For the single-ended amplifier the noise...

Metaphor and Bias : An In-Depth Look at CNN and Fox News Channel

Creator:: Duncan, Sara R.
Abstract:: This study links together two very complicated, but very important subjects: media bias and metaphor. More specifically, this study investigates whether or not examining a media outlet's use of metaphor is an effective methodology for investigating media bias. Using cluster analysis, I identified the source metaphors most commonly used on...
