Biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems of southern Oregon : presence, abundance and distribution across climate gradients

Creator:: Olarra, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In arid and semi-arid deserts, soils are commonly covered with biological soil crusts. The study of arid biocrusts and their ecological function has become increasingly common in the literature over the last several decades. Interestingly, no mention is made of biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems, raising the question as...

Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

Creator:: Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
Abstract:: An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:: Thomas, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...

Associations Between Family Nutrition and Physical Activity, Food Security, and Childhood Obesity in Rural Oregon

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation...

Factors influencing physical educators' inclusion behaviors towards students with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:: Morgan, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: The inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education (GPE) classes has become a concept and practice that is expected if not always understood. A review of inclusion in physical education literature suggested that GPE teachers possess less than favorable feelings towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in...

Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

Creator:: Inouye, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...

Little green baby steps : transforming modern power production through microscale hydropower

Creator:: Holderman, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Microscale hydropower, facilities that produce between 1 kW and 1 MW of power, has the potential to revolutionize modern power production. Unlike conventional large scale operations, these water supplies can be utilized with little impact on the environment. Hydropower per unit production can be very affordable compared to other renewable...
