  • The effect of retailers' rebranding processes on consumers' perceptions of a rebranded brand

    Creator:
    She, I-Hui
    Abstract:
    When apparel companies and retailers attempt to strengthen their established brands and existing markets, there are two primary strategies for companies and retailers: 1) adopting a new designer for an existing brand to attract a new target customer, and/or 2) adding a product design line to an existing brand to...

  • Clothing evaluative criteria : a comparison between hedonic shoppers and utilitarian shoppers

    Creator:
    Yeh, Chun-Lan
    Abstract:
    According to Engel, Blackwell, and Miniard (1993), evaluative criteria is defined as "the standards and specifications used by consumers to compare different products and brands" (p.51). Many studies have investigated factors that might influence the importance of clothing evaluative criteria used by consumers in the decision making process. However, few...

  • Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

    Creator:
    Serafin, Katherine A.
    Abstract:
    Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...

  • Livestock utilization of a clear-cut burn in northeastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Erickson, Lloyd Ronald
    Abstract:
    Three five acre exclosures were established in 1964 to monitor vegetational regeneration and forage productivity on a coniferous forest site in northeastern Oregon which was clear-cut in 1963, broadcast burned and seeded in 1964. Fence design and construction to facilitate controlled early summer cattle grazing trials was completed by 1965....

  • Recovering Lost Ground : Effects of Soil Burn Intensity on Nutrients and Ectomycorrhiza Communities of Ponderosa Pine Seedlings

    Creator:
    Cowan, Ariel D.
    Abstract:
    Fuel accumulation and climate shifts are predicted to increase the frequency of high-severity fires in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws) forests of central Oregon. The combustion of fuels containing large downed wood can result in intense soil heating, alteration of soil properties, and mortality of microbes. Previous studies...

  • An analysis of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004

    Creator:
    Fesler, Kristel J.
    Abstract:
    This research provides details of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004 by using an event database methodology. Events were concentrated in four of 18 basins. No basin accounted for more that 25% of the total water rights events, the most evenly distributed issue type. Overall...

  • Peakflow causative mechanisms and frequencies at Reynolds Creek, southwestern Idaho

    Creator:
    Kirkham, Tracie
    Abstract:
    Peakflow frequency analysis is used in forest hydrology for designing stream crossing structures such as culverts and bridges. The traditional approach to frequency analysis is based on the assumption that the observed sample of peakflows represents a homogeneous population. It is not clear if using the "homogeneous" population of the...

  • Coupled wave and surge modeling of Tillamook Bay, Oregon : extreme events and climate change impacts

    Creator:
    Cheng, Tiffany Kay
    Abstract:
    Estuaries represent the confluence of land and ocean environments and encompass a number of complex interactions amongst tides, winds, offshore waves and the riverine contributions, all of which contribute to total water levels (TWLs). The study of TWLs and the relative weight of its components can assist local communities in...

  • Heat unit accumulation in degree-hours above selected temperature levels in Oregon

    Creator:
    Newland, Dale Cecil
    Abstract:
    The heat unit concept of time-temperature relationships is used in this thesis as a means of studying the temperature element of the climate at nine Oregon stations. The stations, Astoria, Baker, Burns, Eugene, Medford, Pendleton, Portland, Roseburg, and Salem, were selected on the basis of distribution and availability of Weather...

  • Role of Extreme Events on Sedimentation in Loon Lake, Oregon Coast Range, USA

    Creator:
    Richardson, Kristin Noel Duckworth
    Abstract:
    Sediment cores were retrieved from a landslide-dammed lake, recording events back to the 5th century AD in a forested, mountainous catchment. These cores provide an opportunity to compare the impacts of known recent perturbations, including floods and timber harvesting with those of the early period of the core, flood, fire,...
