The Great Hall: A Story of Promise, Lost Opportunity, and the Value of the Liberal Arts

Creator:: Proctor, Jenna Marie
Abstract:: The liberal arts have always struggled to find their place in the technically oriented land-grant university. Land-grant universities were tasked by the 1862 Morrill Act with providing both a practical and liberal education for all students. The liberal arts, however, were quickly sidelined from this dual purpose with the increasing...

Mercury and molt: no strong Hg trend across songbird primaries

Creator:: Ramsden, Danielle K., Low, Katherine E., Jackson, Allyson K., Emery, Colleen, and Eagles-Smith, Collin A.
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) is a bioaccumulative metal that can threaten the health of wild birds. Feathers are commonly used biomonitoring tools for non-lethally estimating Hg exposure in birds because they contain stable Hg concentrations upon completion of feather growth, when blood flow to the feather has stopped. Despite the common use...

Corporate Social Responsibility: An Assessment of Motives and Implications

Creator:: Arora, Aarushi
Abstract:: Recent years have been marked with increasing rates of corporate scandals, environmental disasters, and unfair labor practices, drawing attention to the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Despite increasing efforts in CSR, past research has shown increased levels of mistrust and skepticism from consumers towards business. Furthermore, the very issues...

Physics Students' Mindsets and Their Impact on Learning and Perceived Satisfaction

Creator:: Le, Tiffany
Abstract:: Characterizing a mindset landscape within the physics classroom is crucial to portray the variation and context of mindset in the classroom. This paper will be looking at students enrolled in Oregon State University’s PH20x series, which is a series of three algebra-based introductory physics courses. This project is an exploratory...

How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

Creator:: Ormand, Elora J.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

Estimating harvest rates to assess the efficacy of marine reserves in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands

Creator:: Yamane, Mark T.
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are used in ecosystem-based management (EBM) to increase the abundance and biomass of targeted species and protect their ecosystems by restricting certain human activities. Marine reserves (i.e. no-take MPAs) aim to achieve this by prohibiting harvest in the area. While MPAs are currently evaluated through assessments...

Understanding change: surface manipulative-activities as a tool for addressing student difficulties in thermodynamics

Creator:: Siegel, Reese R.
Abstract:: Multivariable functions permeate physics, mathematics, and other sciences. Understanding how quantities in multivariable relationships change together – or co-vary – is important for studying physical systems. In this project, we asked junior-level physics majors to describe the covariation of quantities in a multivariable context given a 2D graph. We identified...

Effects of Fuel Reduction Treatments on Surface Fire Behavior in Juniper Woodland Ecosystems

Creator:: Williams, Claire L.
Abstract:: Juniper (Juniperus spp.) woodlands are native but expanding ecological communities that were historically limited by the natural fire return interval of the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe. These woodlands are often a mix of pinyon pine (Pinus spp.) and juniper that have increased significantly over the last century. This expansion has...

Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

Creator:: Van Volkenburg, Tessa
Abstract:: This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...
