The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

Creator:: Huang, Hsiao-Wen
Abstract:: Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...

The Role that Parents Play in the Development of Physical Activity Behaviors and Motor Skill Development in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Ku, Byungmo
Abstract:: Young children with developmental disabilities (< 12 years old) participate less in physical activity (PA) and experience motor skill deficits compared to young children without disabilities (Jung, Leung, Schram, & Yun, 2018; Liu, Hamilton, Davis, & ElGarhy, 2014; Whyatt & Craig, 2012). When taking account of a bi-directional relationship between...

Penumbra : A Spatiotemporal Shade-Irradiance Analysis Tool with External Model Integration for Landscape Assessment, Habitat Enhancement, and Water Quality Improvement

Creator:: Halama, Jonathan James
Abstract:: Several solar energy models exist, but all models must balance: computational runtime, light complexity, and model output volume. These models span the spectrum of simplistic global solar energy equation sets to complex light ray-tracing models. Spatiotemporally inaccurate representations of solar energy may cause compounding simulation effects and introduce unknown modeling...

Nanotoxicology to Nanotherapeutics : Prioritizing Hazard and Anticancer Efficacy of Nanomaterials using the Embryonic Zebrafish Model

Creator:: Wehmas, Leah C.
Abstract:: The numerous different types of nanomaterials and paucity of reliable in vivo information on toxicity has resulted in enduring uncertainties associated with health and safety risks, thereby slowing progress in nanotherapeutic assessment and development. This dissertation explores how the embryonic zebrafish model can be applied to prioritize commonly used nanomaterial...

A river loved : facilitating cooperative negotiation of transboundary water resource management in the Columbia River Basin through documentary film

Creator:: Watson, Julie Elkins
Abstract:: In transboundary water resources policy and management situations, such as the governance of the Columbia River Basin, complex social, ecological, and economic factors seem to be in irreconcilable competition with one another. However, cooperative negotiation provides an outlet for entities and stakeholders to "expand the pie" and develop creative alternatives...

Mapping-grade GPS accuracy in second growth Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Frank, Jereme M.
Abstract:: The global positioning system (GPS) has come into widespread use for many forestry applications. However, there is still some uncertainty as to how receivers perform in dense forest, where trees interfere with the GPS signal and increase error. These two manuscripts examine GPS accuracy and overall effectiveness within second growth...

Applications of Silicone Wristbands to Improve Personal Chemical Exposure Assessment

Creator:: Dixon, Holly M.
Abstract:: Silicone wristbands are easy-to-wear passive samplers that have been readily adapted into environmental health studies since first reported in 2014. Wristbands can be worn during normal daily activities and sequester a wide range of bioavailable organic chemicals. This dissertation includes a thorough review of silicone wristband technology, as well as...

Sediment Transport Prototypes : Novel Methods to Disconnect Forest Roads from Streams

Creator:: Kemp, Erica D.
Abstract:: Unpaved roads are a critical form of infrastructure in forested landscapes but also a potential source of fine sediment that can degrade sensitive ecosystems nearby. Improved management of aggregate road surfacing can reduce sediment generation, lengthen its useful life span, reduce maintenance costs, and more importantly, mitigate the impacts of...

Phytophthora species and riparian alder tree damage in western Oregon

Creator:: Sims, Laura L.
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora contains some of the most destructive pathogens of forest trees, including the most destructive pathogen of alder in recent times, Phytophthora alni. Alder trees were reported to be suffering from canopy dieback in riparian ecosystems in western Oregon, which prompted a survey of alder health and monitoring...

Non-spatial and spatial models for multi-host pathogen spread in competing species : applications to barley yellow dwarf virus and rinderpest

Creator:: Manore, Carrie Anna
Abstract:: Modeling and analyzing the combined effects of disease and population dynamics is important in understanding the effects of mechanisms such as pathogen transmission and direct competition between host species on the distribution and abundance of different species in an ecological community. Mathematical analysis of such models in a spatially explicit...
