  • Conserving avian diversity in agricultural systems : the role of isolated Oregon white oak legacy trees

    Creator:
    DeMars, Craig A.
    Abstract:
    Over one third of the earth’s land surface has been modified to some extent for agricultural purposes. The large global footprint of agriculture, combined with the knowledge that existing reserve networks are likely insufficient for long-term conservation of native biodiversity, has necessitated that agricultural systems contribute to conservation of native...

  • Effect of western juniper removal on ponderosa pine and associated understory vegetation

    Creator:
    Rose, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    This research assessed the effect of western juniper (Junlperus occldentalls) removal on understory plant production and cover and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) growth and plant water status. A complete randomized block design, with four blocks and four treatments was established in the summer of 1984 near Prineville, Oregon. The four...

  • Marine seismic refraction study between Cape Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

    Creator:
    Bee, Michel
    Abstract:
    A marine seismic refraction study, conducted in August 1976 by personnel from Oregon State University and the University of Connecticut between Cape Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, provides data for analysis which yields a subsurface structural and geological cross-section of the area. The results suggest that the structural homocline which...

  • Climate change adaptation : Information needs, concerns, and behavioral intentions among Oregon Coast professionals

    Creator:
    Borberg, Jenna
    Abstract:
    The social and economic impacts of climate change on the Oregon Coast may be reduced if coastal managers begin planning now to put in place adaptation measures. Oregon Sea Grant conducted a web-based survey of Oregon coastal professionals to target climate change adaptation outreach and engagement efforts toward this audience....

  • Development of a passive micro-ball valve

    Creator:
    Wangwatcharakul, Worawut
    Abstract:
    A novel design, material, and fabrication method are presented to fabricate a passive micro-ball valve. Microvalves are critical components in microflow control devices used to control the fluid flows in microchannels. These microflow control devices can be integrated with microsensors to form micro analysis systems. Glass/silicon-based fabrication is complicated and...

  • Impacts of the Salem Parkway upon biotic resources and water quality

    Creator:
    Hobbs, Drusilla
    Abstract:
    The proposed construction of a four lane road, the Salem Parkway, was evaluated regarding the potential environmental impacts its location would have upon biotic resources and water quality. Due to existing commitment of the study area to urbanization and agriculture, only limited environmental sensitivity was observed overall. It was found...

  • The influence of grazing systems on the performance and diet of yearling cattle

    Creator:
    Berry, Timothy James
    Abstract:
    Research was conducted at the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in northeastern Oregon to determine cattle performance, diet quality, botanical composition of forage ingested, and production and utilization among rest-rotation, season-long, and deferred rotation grazing systems. The grazing season lasted from June 20 to October 10 of each year. Cows...

  • Development of an Interpretive Exhibit on Marine Reserves and Marine Protected Areas in Oregon

    Creator:
    Vandehey, Amy
    Abstract:
    Oregon is currently in the process of establishing Marine Reserves (MRs) and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within Oregon’s Territorial Sea. To assure that residents are aware of impending policy and the science behind it, science educators must formulate education tools that define terms and identify issues, but do not alienate...

    Creator:
    Just, Jessica R.
    Abstract:
    There have been several epidemiological studies linking alcohol consumption to a decreased risk of contracting illness from foodborne bacterial contamination. To study this phenomenon, we examined the survival of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium in grape juice and wine and then designed a model stomach to investigate the effect...
