Carbon dynamics following landscape fire: influence of burn severity, climate, and stand history in the Metolius Watershed, Oregon

Creator:

Meigs, Garrett W.

Abstract:

Fire is a fundamental disturbance that drives terrestrial and atmospheric carbon dynamics. Previous studies have quantified fire effects on carbon cycling from local to global scales but have focused nearly exclusively on high-severity, stand-replacement fire. Since 2002, variable-severity wildfires have burned more than 65 000 ha across the east slope...

Disturbance and dynamics of riparian forests in southwestern Oregon

Creator:

Messier, Michael S.

Development of biomimetic control strategies for the optimal use of renewable sources and energy storage systems

Creator:

Hapke, Hannes Max

Abstract:

In the year 2007, the worldwide energy consumption accumulated to a total of 16.5 billion MWh. While the resources of conventional energy production cause environmental damage, renewable energy sources like solar or wind power offer a solution to substitute for coal or nuclear generated power. Countries like Denmark and Spain...

To Express the Inexpressible: Poetry as Philosophy within Mystical Discourse

Creator:

Hyam, Jarrod

Abstract:

Within this thesis, I posit that poetry, rather than philosophical argument, is a more effective means of expressing and understanding the nature of mystical experiences. William James’ analysis of mysticism inspires the theoretical approach utilized in this thesis. An analysis of the unique qualities of poetic language within mystical discourse...

Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

Creator:

Strauss, Paul J.

Abstract:

An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...
