Objective: Best practices such as the FAIR Principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) were developed to ensure that published datasets are reusable. While we employ best practices in the curation of datasets, we want to learn how domain experts view the reusability of datasets in our institutional repository, ScholarsArchive@OSU. Curation workflows...
Many libraries offer workshops on research topics such as data management and information organization for graduate students and faculty. We recommend that library workshops focus on teaching skills rather than principles or theories, especially if the goal is to improve data management practices. At Oregon State University Libraries, we have...
Skin condition assessment of wildlife can provide insight into individual and population health. Yet, logistics can limit skin condition assessment of large whales. We developed a standardized, quantitative protocol using photographs to assess skin condition of blue whales in New Zealand, and demonstrate the value gained by testing hypotheses, documenting...
This dataset is based on quantitative PCR (qPCR) output. Output from all qPCR was compiled in this dataset and kept as the original. Information about sampling time, id, concentration, sites and a conversion of the quantity in femtograms were added as complement to the qPCR output to facilitate data analysis
Since its inception in 1985, the Tri‐State variety development program has primarily focused on the development of processing and dual‐purpose (process and fresh) russets. Recent breeding efforts have focused more on improving genetic resistance to various pests and diseases as a means of lowering production costs. During the past decade,...
This dataset consists of native and exotic plant species metrics, including cover, richness, relative abundance and responses to the exclusion of wild ungulates and herbivory. The data were used for the manuscript: "Synergistic effects of wild ungulates and management intensification suppress native plants and promote exotics", published in the journal...
There is growing interest to use supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as a working fluid in thermal management applications. This study investigates the thermal-hydraulic performance of microchannel heat sinks as a function of flow channel geometry and orientation at operating conditions representative of electronics cooling applications. Three different experimental test sections,...
Little is known about intraspecific variation within the deacon rockfish (Sebastes di‐ aconus), a recently described species found in the northeast Pacific Ocean. We in‐ vestigated population structure among fish sampled from two nearshore reefs (Siletz Reef and Seal Rock) and one offshore site (Stonewall Bank) within a <50‐km2 area...
Visible through shortwave (VSWIR) spectral reflectance of the geologic units across the basal Tertiary nonconformity (BTN) is characterized at three spatially disparate locations in California. At two of these sites, location-specific spectral endmembers are obtained from AVIRIS imaging spectroscopy and linear spectral mixture models are used to visualize spatial patterns...
This dataset consists of planted crop-tree growth metrics (Pseudotsuga menziesii), non-crop tree vegetation metrics, and foraging data for black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Roosevelt elk (Cervus canadensis rooseveli) collected from the Intensive Forest Management experiment, Oregon Coast Range, USA, 2011-2016. The objective of the experiment was to quantify the...
Engineered log jams (ELJs) are commonly implemented in rivers to stabilize streambanks and diversify fish habitat, but few studies have verified the hydraulic benefits of ELJs by assessing their effects on the flow field. This field and modeling study assessed the effects of an ELJ on various characteristics of the...
Genotype data consisting of 10,546 single nucleotide polymorphisms on the Illumina Infinium Genechip BARCBEAN6K_3 platform for 149 snap bean accessions.
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional, premixed, hydrogen/air flames, using the mixture-averaged diffusion model. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the associated article.
Research poster for Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium 2019. Research was conducted with CURE funding in the Perez lab studying cellular senescence in the PS19 mouse model.
A 3-minute lightning talk was given by Victoria Keenan at the 2019 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium on her role as a researcher for the Community Doula Project in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties. The presentation provided an insight into the emergent themes identified from the ongoing semi-structured, open-ended qualitative interviews...
Contaminants in stormwater such as heavy metals, PFASs, PCBs, and PAHs are an issue for public infrastructure and remediation practices. Biochar, granular activated carbon (GAC), OGSIR soil, and commercial adsorbent materials have been evaluated with the heavy metals Cu2+ and Zn2+. Copper and zinc as stormwater contaminants were treated with...
As one of database types, CSV type database is widely used by many people because the type serves various useful purposes for business, engineering, and environment. However, the CSV type database could be complicated to understand because it is usually written on spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel format. Therefore, data visualization...
In the present work, a correlation is made between seismic intensity parameters and total damage indicators of reinforced concrete structures. For this purpose, natural ground motions recordings were used, from which intensity measures were calculated and alternatives were proposed. Then, through dynamic inelastic time history analyzes, damage indices were evaluated...
