  • Comparison of baits for monitoring the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii

    Creator:
    Kleiber, Joseph R.
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe...

  • Analysis of the antineutrino rate during CANDU reactor startup

    Creator:
    Matthews, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Detection systems used to monitor reactor operations are of significant interest as tools for verification of operator declarations. Current reactor site safeguards are limited to visual inspections and intrusive monitoring systems. The recent development of antineutrino detectors may soon allow real-time monitoring from an unobtrusive location. Antineutrinos are produced through...

  • Using Biodiversity Distribution Data to Support Landscape Conservation and Management in Colombia

    Creator:
    Zárrate-Charry, Diego A.
    Abstract:
    Global biodiversity decline is primarily driven by habitat loss. Deforestation, the primary driver of terrestrial habitat loss, is increasing worldwide, with the most significant impact in the world biodiversity hotspots. Sadly, specific knowledge of such impacts in biodiversity-rich but data-poor countries are still unknown, and many national and regional narratives...

  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • Application of Advanced Hybrid Transport Methods for Nonproliferation Test Problems

    Creator:
    Somasundaram, Elanchezhian
    Abstract:
    The implementation of advanced hybrid (Monte Carlo/Deterministic) transport methods for realistic test problems has been a challenge due to the overhead efforts associated with interfacing a solution generated by a deterministic solver with a Monte Carlo based radiation transport code. In this work, with the help of Transpire, Inc., a...

  • Exploring Intuitive Use

    Creator:
    Cairns, Tylee
    Abstract:
    The term "Intuitive use" has become a common phrase to describe interfaces and products, however it is rarely defined. Research regarding intuitive use is in its infancy, beginning primarily in 2003. With the development of new terms in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction, it is important for Designers and Users...

  • Marking, movement, and management of Drosophila suzukii in Oregon berry crops

    Creator:
    Klick, Jimmy
    Abstract:
    Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are small invasive flies that in the past five years (2009-2014) invaded berry and stone fruit production regions in Europe and the Americas. Evolutionary adaptations, biological traits, and anthropogenic factors have contributed to its current status as a global pest. Females oviposit eggs into ripe...

  • An evaluation of blackberry harvest sanitation and the ability of foodborne pathogens to survive in blackberry products

    Creator:
    Sales, Melissa M.
    Abstract:
    Blackberries, genus Rubus, are an important Oregon agricultural commodity. In their fresh and processed forms, they offer many health benefits and may be able to help Americans better achieve fruit consumption recommendations because of convenience and pleasant sensory qualities. However, the susceptibility of blackberry products to contamination with bacterial pathogens...

  • The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

    Creator:
    Highland, Steven A.
    Abstract:
    Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...
