Rethinking Welfare-to-Work: A Microsimulation Exploring the Impact of a Working Families Tax Credit on Oregon Poverty

Creator:: Richards, Jaxon
Abstract:: The State of Oregon possesses a tumultuous relationship with the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and currently experiences one of the lowest participation rates in the country despite attempting several policy reforms. The State of Washington has exhibited a comparatively similar relationship. However, it has adopted a distinctive policy supplementation...

A case study on the utility of multiple, light to moderate intensity silvicultural treatments to accomplish forest management objectives in southwest Oregon, USA

Creator:: Schmidt, Micah
Abstract:: Small, private forestland owners own about 12% of Oregon’s forestland and have the unique ability to implement innovative forest management activities. In southwest Oregon, extreme ecological variability occurs over small spatial scales and requires fine-scale silvicultural treatments that match the precise ecological setting and management objectives of the forests in...

Determining the Minimum Treatment Area and Importance of Soil Irrigation for Solarizing Soil Infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Bennett, Logan L.
Abstract:: Nurseries are an important part of the agriculture industry of the United States. The nursery industry provides ornamental, forest, restoration and specialty products to many markets in N. America. The disease sudden oak death, caused by Phytophthora ramorum, has devastating environmental and economic impacts on forested land, the urban-forest interface,...

Generation of expression plasmids to study the function of the PRC2 subunit Suz12 in Fusarium graminearum

Creator:: Park, Catherine
Abstract:: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes genome transcription repression through the methylation of lysine residue 27 in the amino terminal region of histone 3 (H3K27me1/2/3) [2], [7]. PRC2 is made up of three highly conserved core subunits: Kmt6, Eed, and Suz12. Accurate distribution of PRC2 is essential for proper...

Insights into Novel Non-Fumigant Nematicides: Physiological and Cellular Responses of Meloidogyne Incognita and Other Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Creator:: Wram, Catherine L.
Abstract:: Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) pose a severe threat to crop production with the economic losses due to nematode parasitism in excessive of US$ 80 billion each year. Meloidogyne incognita, a globally distributed pest with a diverse host range, contributes significantly to this economic loss. The most reliable way to manage PPN...

Advancing the Understanding and Representation of Ecohydrological Processes using Tracer-enabled Modeling Approaches

Creator:: Finkenbiner, Catherine E.
Abstract:: Climate change impacts everyone’s food and water security. Increasing global temperatures accelerate the hydrologic cycle and consequently impact the water resources for billions of people worldwide. Countless models have been developed to represent various components of the hydrologic cycle at various spatial and temporal scales. These are often validated against...

Juvenile Salmonid Rearing Potential in Seasonally Disconnected Floodplain Habitats in the Skagit River, WA

Creator:: Hicks, Madeline C.
Abstract:: Our understanding of seasonally disconnected floodplains and how they function to support rearing salmonids in the Pacific Northwest is limited. Past studies have found that these dynamic habitats may provide high-risk, high-reward trade-offs for rearing fish. High prey densities and optimal temperatures allow for accelerated growth, but low water levels...

Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

Creator:: Heppell, Dylan
Abstract:: Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...

Transforming Protective Action Strategies for Radiological Emergencies—Exacting the Science of Sheltering-in-Place

Creator:: Smith, Todd R.
Abstract:: Radiological emergency plans ensure that protective actions can and will be taken in the event of an accident. Principle protective actions for the early phase of an emergency are evacuation and sheltering-in-place. While evacuations are generally safe, there are deterministic, long-term health consequences from prolonged displacement that outweigh the stochastic...
