Function of Oregon Estuaries to Juvenile Fishes, with Focus on Juvenile Rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Schwartzkopf, Brittany D.
Abstract:: The role that anthropogenic and natural habitats in estuaries play in long-term population trends for Oregon’s nearshore marine fishes is poorly understood, in part due to limited temporal sampling. One important nearshore marine group is northeastern Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), which are highly diverse, with around 96 documented species, and...

Two Steps Forward and One Step Back: A Case Study Exploring Anti-Racist Professional Development for Educators and the Barriers that Derail Progress Toward Transformational Action

Creator:: Ferguson, Amanda S.
Abstract:: Research overwhelmingly suggests that Black and Brown students face unjust and inequitable environments in K-12 schools in the United States (Bradshaw et al., 2010; Carter et al., 2017; Coles & Powell, 2020). These injustices often occur as a result of systemic racism and are replicated because of embedded racist policies...

Hyperspectral Disease Detection - Strategies Addressing Time, Space, Machine Learning, and Plant Susceptibility

Creator:: Haagsma, Marja
Abstract:: Finding trees and crops that are resistant to pathogens is key in preparing for current and future disease threats. In this dissertation, we analyzed the potential of using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to find infection while identifying issues and strategies addressing differences over time, in spatial resolution, the application of machine...

Factors Influencing Streamflow Generation Processes in Rain-dominated, Coastal Watersheds in Oregon

Creator:: Pazdral, Rosemary
Abstract:: Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Characteristics, Pathways, and Predictors Related to the Transfer Behaviors of Adult College and University Students

Creator:: Potter, Charlie
Abstract:: Adult students are a population that is critical to addressing the college completion crisis. Retention and completion for adults lags behind students who enter college directly from high school. However, higher education has largely been built around service to younger high school graduates, and institutions are slow to change. A...

Mycorrhizal Fungi on the Sagebrush Steppe: Benefits for Restoring Keystone Rangeland Plant Species

Creator:: Prado-Tarango, David E.
Abstract:: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant symbionts that associate with the vast majority of terrestrial plants species. The AMF colonizes the plant roots by penetrating the root cortical cells, where the fungi exchanges mineral nutrients with the host plant for photosynthates. This association exists as a complex system in which...

Supporting Student Success: A Study of the Effects of Tutoring on Timely Associate’s Degree Completion at Rural Community Colleges in Oregon

Creator:: Buell, Honora
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between student involvement in tutoring and timely completion of an associate’s degree among first-time, full-time students attending Oregon rural community colleges. Timely completion was defined as earning an associate’s degree within three years. Propensity score matching was used to control...

Regulation of skeletal muscle mitochondria in response to obesity and exercise in mice and humans

Creator:: Batterson, Philip M.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscle mitochondria are highly plastic organelles, integral to whole-body health. High-fat diet (HFD) and exercise remodel the skeletal muscle mitochondria. Whereby, altered skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is linked to decreased skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity which can be reversed by exercise. However, the mechanisms that contribute to skeletal muscle remodeling...

Platinum Nanoparticles in Transition Alumina: An Atomic Resolution Study of Interfaces

Creator:: Clauser, Arielle L.
Abstract:: The phases of transition alumina are scientifically interesting due to their high specific surface area, favorable acid/ base characteristics, and chemical and hydrothermal stability which make this metallic oxide a prime candidate for use as a support for metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in heterocatalysis. Interactions at alumina/Pt interfaces are important for...
