Overstory composition and stand structure shifts within inter-mixed ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine stands of the south-central Oregon pumice zone

Creator:: Shuffield, Chaylon D.
Abstract:: Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. murrayana) forests of south-central Oregon have been extensively researched over the last century. However, little information has been reported on overstory composition and stand structure shifts associated with fire exclusion within inter-mixed ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine stands of the...

Restructuring of land and community in the remote rural west : the case of Wallowa County, Oregon

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse
Abstract:: Since at least the 1970s, rural areas in the western United States, as elsewhere across the country and world, have been subject to social, economic, and political forces that have resulted in novel demographic and land tenure trends when compared to previous decades. Collectively, these processes of restructuring have created...

Transient electric birefringence for the characterization of cellulose nanocrystals and tobacco mosaic virus

Creator:: Taylor, Melissa J.
Abstract:: The development of a transient electric birefringence (TEB) apparatus for macroparticle characterization is herein discussed. The experimental difficulties encountered were related largely to poor data resolution. Misalignment and strain birefringence in optical components further complicated results. Improved data digitization methods were developed, and precise mathematical models were derived in order...

Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

Creator:: Pham, Tuan N. T.
Abstract:: The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

Development and application of climate risk assessment methods for flood management systems – a study of flexibility, adaptive capacity, and robustness

Creator:: DiFrancesco, Kara N.
Abstract:: Discussions around adapting water management systems to climate change often express the need to increase the flexibility and adaptive capacity of current systems, and to implement robust strategies going forth. While these topics lie at the center of many climate change discussions, transforming adaptation recommendations into tangible tools and information...

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...
