Modeling the effect of longwave radiation from solar panels on soil moisture

Creator:: Shepard, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Agrivoltaics, which integrates photovoltaic power production with agriculture in the same plot of land, has the potential to reduce land competition and crop irrigation. To optimize agrivoltaic systems for crop growth, energy pathways must be characterized. While solar panels shade the crops, they also emit longwave radiation. At the end...

A literature review of the functional movement screen as a predictor of injury in the sport of basketball

Creator:: Etzel, Chad E.
Abstract:: Athletic activities have always carried an inherent risk for injuries, and basketball is no exception. Basketball is the second most popular team sport in the United States in which 984,777 high school boys and girls participated during the 2010-2011 season. Athletic trainers and strength and conditioning staff are pressured to...

Investigating Relationships between Outdoor Recreation Activities, EnvironmentalWorldviews, and Place of Residence

Creator:: Finn, Elliott Chad
Abstract:: Some evidence suggests a connection between outdoor recreation participation and stronger environmental worldviews. This study finds little evidence supporting participation in outdoor recreation activities and stronger environmental worldviews and some evidence supporting a weak connection between appreciative outdoor recreation and stronger environmental worldviews. Additionally, the study documents greater participation in...

Creating a Climate for Inclusion in Hospital Settings

Creator:: Tiffin, Rylie G.
Abstract:: In this paper we investigate how hospitals can create a more inclusive climate in their organizations that can foster an environment where all employees and, in turn, patients feel welcome. We ask the question of whether it is leaders or employees that have the agency to create this climate that...

The Creation and Implementation of a Vision and Mission Statement to Promote Positive Change Within a Fraternity

Creator:: Reser, Blake A.
Abstract:: This research aims to identify ways to motivate Fraternity members to contribute towards the progress of a Fraternity. Motivation theories were explored to guide the process, which led to the question: can the implementation of an effectively crafted vision and mission statement generate positive change within a Fraternity? Several steps...

Lamb growth and pasture production in agrivoltaic production system

Creator:: Andrew, Alyssa C.
Abstract:: Grasslands and croplands located in temperate agro-ecologies are ranked to be the best places to install solar panels for maximum energy production. Therefore, agrivoltaic systems (agricultural production under solar panels) are designed to mutually benefit solar energy and agricultural production in the same location for dual-use of land. However, both...

An Exploration of the Relationship between Direct, Tactile Contact with Nature in the Workplace and Consequent Creative Performance

Creator:: Molvi, Hamza
Abstract:: An understanding of creativity’s emergence is critical as our society faces new challenges. Despite a growing body of research emphasizing nature’s influence on the creative process, we now spend record amounts of time indoors, disconnected from nature. Biophilic design has been afforded as a panacea, with research supporting the incorporation...

Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

Creator:: Verna-Ketel, Dominic
Abstract:: An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

The Economic Path Dependency of Foreign Extraction Duration: Why Colonialism Still Matters

Creator:: Kemp, Duncan S.
Abstract:: Foreign occupation and extraction have arguably existed since the very emergence of interstate conflict millennia ago. Yet despite humanity’s vast experience on the topic, we know surprisingly little about its long-term economic consequences. It is generally accepted by most that the extraction of resources by a foreign power tends to...

Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

Creator:: Hesseltine, Johnathon
Abstract:: Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...
