Will wetlands restoration plans today still be effective tomorrow? Evaluation of performance of potential wetlands for peak flow reduction in future climate scenarios in the Eagle Creek Watershed, IN

Creator:: Walters, Kelli M.
Abstract:: Global climate change is expected to exaggerate the severity of floods and droughts and increase the frequency of extreme streamflow events in the Midwestern United States. Managing these projected impacts poses a major challenge for water resources, conservation, and land use management. Wetlands have been considered as a conservation strategy...

Beginning the search for the inverse fission of uranium

Creator:: Beckerman, John R.
Abstract:: The nuclear reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(¹²⁴Sn,xn)[superscript 224-x]U has been carried out at E[subscript cot] of 578 MeV and 634 MeV using the facilities and equipment at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in order to initiate the search for the inverse fission of uranium. Reference...

On Time for the Future: Student Perspectives of a High School-Community College Dual-Enrollment Program

Creator:: Jones, Terese
Abstract:: In the current global economy, higher education is critical for gaining and keeping living-wage jobs. The need for a college-educated labor force has increased interest among youth in pursuing higher education (National Center for Education Statistics, 2013). Despite these demands, the United States has struggled to effectively increase college completion...

Sediment reservoir dynamics on steepland valley floors : influence of network structure and effects of inherited ages

Creator:: Frueh, Walter Terry
Abstract:: Sediment deposit ages inferred from radiocarbon dating of stream bank material were used to estimate residence times of valley-floor deposits in headwater valleys of the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Inherited ages of radiocarbon-dated material, i.e., time between carbon fixation in wood and its incorporation in a sediment deposit, can result...

Optimal control of an underactuated bipedal robot

Creator:: Jones, Mikhail S.
Abstract:: Bipedal robots represent a unique class of control problems that combine many of the most difficult elements of nonlinear control. These robots are typically designed to be mobile and as such have limited energy and actuator authority making efficiency a prime concern. Unlike wheeled robots, legged robots must transition between...

Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

Creator:: Schappe, Tyler
Abstract:: Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Tree Establishment in the M1 Meadow of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Jones, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the Cascade Range of Oregon have been declining due to tree establishment since records began. Montane meadow complexes in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest shrank by 60 to 75% from 1949 to 2005, but fine scale temporal and spatial processes of tree establishment in these meadows are...

Identifying "at-risk" regions of snow accumulation within California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, and assessing implications on reservoir operations

Creator:: Kalyan, Imtiaz-Ali M.
Abstract:: California's water resources vary throughout the state owing to the regions varying topography, diverse climate, and the distribution of precipitation. Most of the state's precipitation falls over the northern coastal range and the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Winter snowpack that accumulates within these mountain basins serves as...

Grape Powdery Mildew Management: The Interaction Between Inflorescence Stage and Fungicide Chemistry

Creator:: Warneke, Brent W.
Abstract:: Grape powdery mildew (GPM, causal agent Erysiphe necator) is the most economically important disease of grapevine in the Western U.S. Low levels of GPM infection on clusters (1-5%) can negatively affect wine sensory quality, so intensive fungicide programs are common. This may lead to problems like excessive fungicide use and...

Effects of an engineered log jam on flow structure and complexity

Creator:: L'Hommedieu, William J.
Abstract:: The installation of engineered log jams (ELJs) is a common river restoration practice, implemented to modify flow structure and increase hydraulic complexity for the benefit of streambank protection and fish habitat. However, few studies have directly assessed the effects of ELJs on flow structure and complexity. This study presents a...
