The economic value of native pollinators in regard to Oregon blueberry production

Creator:: Ritter, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Blueberry production in Oregon is highly reliant upon the ecosystem services of native pollinators, which provide as much as a quarter of the total pollination services received by Blueberry growers. However, the health of these pollinator populations may be affected in yet unforeseen ways as growers adopt new pest management...

Deposition and characterization of transition metal oxides from aqueous solution

Creator:: Betterton, Sharon A.
Abstract:: The aqueous chemistries of two transition metal cations, Zr⁴⁺ and Nb⁵⁺, are examined and then used to develop inorganic precursor solutions. The oxides of these cations (ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅) are deposited and characterized, and their morphological and optical properties discussed. Due to the obstacles created by niobium's aqueous chemistry, an...

Fundamental solution to the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient with applications to Skew Brownian Motion and oceanography

Creator:: Harada, Sharon Julie
Abstract:: In this paper, we derive the fundamental solution to the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient in the free space, with an absorbing boundary, and with a reflecting boundary. We use the fundamental solution with an absorbing boundary to make connections with the transition probability density of absorbed Skew...

Evaluating tools used to estimate and manage browse available to wintering moose on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Smythe, Sharon E.
Abstract:: Ungulates comprise some of the most well researched and intensely managed wildlife populations on earth. As such, they are recognized as ideal study subjects for developing and modifying management tools or theories (Danell et al. 1994, Shipley 2010). An introduced moose (Alces alces gigas) population on the Copper River Delta...

The Effectiveness of a Malleable Mindset Intervention in an Introductory Psychology Course

Creator:: Bostwick, Keiko C. P.
Abstract:: Students who believe that their intelligence is able to grow over time (malleable/ growth mindset) perform better on measures of academic success than students who believe that intelligence is a fixed trait that cannot be changed (fixed mindset; Dweck, 2000). Previous research on the effectiveness of mindset interventions have demonstrated...

A quantitative comparison of cardiovascular imaging systems with respect to the resolution capabilities and the resulting skin entrance doses operating in both fluoroscopic and cine mode

Creator:: Helms, W. Scott
Abstract:: The increasing use of medical procedures using ionizing radiation has increased significantly in recent years. In 1987, the National Council on Radiation Protection Report 93 (NCRP) reported that the average exposure ionizing radiation was 53mRem/year (0.53mSv/year). In their most recent study on radiation exposures NCRP Report 160 in 2009, the...

"I've lived on these streets, and these streets aren't pretty" : The Life Stories of Corvallis Homeless Women

Creator:: Koch, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: Over two million people experience homelessness in the United States, but homeless people are often marginalized by invisibility and stigmas surrounding poverty within their local communities. This research seeks to amplify the voices of Corvallis area homeless women as a means to understand their everyday lived experiences. Six women residing...

DNA markers and characterization of novel sources of eastern filbert blight resistance in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Peterschmidt, Brooke C.
Abstract:: European hazelnut is a significant crop in the Pacific Northwest, and the US ranks 4th internationally for hazelnut production. Production in the Pacific Northwest is threatened, however, by the disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. To meet the challenges faced by the...

Facilitating plant-parasitic nematode management decisions for Washington Vitis vinifera growers : determining the spatial distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes and the host status of Vitis spp. to Meloidogyne hapla

Creator:: Howland, Amanda D.
Abstract:: A major constraint to the production of self-rooted wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) in eastern Washington is plant-parasitic nematodes. Plant-parasitic nematodes can impact grape productivity by limiting water and nutrient uptake, educing physiological changes, and extracting plant nutrients from roots, thereby reducing root biomass, plant vigor, and yield. The most commonly...

Proof of Concept for a Three-Dimensional Molded Core Wood-Strand Sandwich Panel

Creator:: Way, Daniel
Abstract:: Sandwich composites are typically produced from two high strength facings bonded to a lower strength, lightweight core. Sandwich design has proven to be efficient for applications demanding high strength and low weight. Wood-based sandwich composites have been largely limited to non-structural applications with the exception of structural insulated panels and...
