At the College of Engineering, Oregon State University, we have successfully developed and demonstrated a distance learning application utilizing emerging communications technologies in a new way to allow control engineering teaching laboratories to be accessed remotely. Second Best to Being There (SBBT) provides the remote user with all the capabilities...
Stream-restoration projects are usually designed to improve habitat quality for fishes.
These projects manipulate flow patterns, substrate distribution, and amount and
placement of large woody debris. Consequently, they also affect the size and composition
of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community. This research evaluates two types of fish
habitat restoration: off-channel structures...
Measuring habitat selection by bats is complicated by their intricate life cycle. Scaling habitat measurements to reflect a hierarchal habitat selection process can help to define habitat associations of bats. I assessed day roost habitat of female long-legged myotis at four scales: the roost structure, micro-habitat surrounding the roost, the...
