Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Placido, Wilman M.
Abstract:: Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

Governing By Nature

Creator:: Rhodes, Mericos H.
Abstract:: The choice of what to eat is political, and food systems shape and are shaped by political and economic power. During the last several hundred years, agricultural and food power has been consolidated to an unprecedented degree, and this consolidation continues today. This paper will describe this process as “Governing...

Soil Health and the Response of the Soil Microbial Community to Disturbances across Western North America

Creator:: Kersey, Jordan H.
Abstract:: Temperate coniferous forests, such as those that cover vast areas of the western US and Canada, have evolved to depend on cycles of disturbance for succession of species and overall ecosystem maintenance. Many of these forest systems are managed, often for timber production, where disturbances are of anthropogenic origin and...

The Incorporation of Novel Water-Soluble Potato Protein Extract in Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) Fillets Through Brine Injection Technology to Improve Quality

Creator:: Pasewark, George D.
Abstract:: Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is one of the most abundant fisheries on the American west coast. However, these fish are historically underutilized due to quality issues resulting from fillet softening that occurs as a result of both endogenous and exogenous (Myxosporidian parasite infection) cathepsin protease action during either storage (cathepsin...

Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Bhandari, Sujit
Abstract:: Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

“A Fool For His Client:” Religion, Law, and Insanity in Nineteenth-Century America

Creator:: Reck, Logan A.
Abstract:: When Charles Guiteau killed U.S. President James Garfield, he claimed that God had ordered him to do so.

Low-Income Adolescents’ Physical Activity Levels in Rural Coastal Community: A Gender and Ethnic Comparison.

Creator:: Massa-Gonzalez, Ada N.
Abstract:: Physical Activity (PA) has been shown to significantly improve the overall health of adolescents. The health dimensions that are positively influenced by a consistent level of PA are multiple and range from body composition, chronic diseases management (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.), chronic pain, and mental health (depression, anxiety, etc.). The...

Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

Creator:: Buser, Jessica Z.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...

Decision-Making for Cross-Laminated Timber Modular Construction Logistics Using Discrete-Event Simulation

Creator:: Abiri, Bahar
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for construction project management are budget and time management. Modular construction has the potential to improve construction productivity by minimizing time and costs while improving safety and quality. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are beneficial for modular construction due to the high level of prefabrication, adequate dimensional...
