SocioEconomicMag Meets a Platform for SES-Diverse College Students: A Case Study

Creator:: Agarwal, Puja
Abstract:: Emerging research shows that individual differences in how people use technology sometimes cluster by socioeconomic status (SES) and that when technology is not socioeconomically inclusive, low-SES individuals may abandon it. To understand how to improve technology’s SES-inclusivity, we present a multi-phase case study on SocioEconomicMag (SESMag), an emerging inspection method...

Assessing the Trade-Off Between Sustainability and Resiliency of Reinforced Concrete Alternatives in Corrosive Conditions: An LCA-System Dynamics Approach

Creator:: Moreno Rangel, Erick D.
Abstract:: Concrete has been categorized as a key contributor of CO2 (carbon) emissions into the atmosphere. This is mostly associated with the production of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The concrete and cement industries are pursuing a path to reduce their carbon emissions generally in accordance with the climate change goals outlined...

Cover crop effect on soil microbial biomass after fumigation in potato fields in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Kim, Esther
Abstract:: In the Columbia Basin, pre-plant soil fumigation is commonly used in potato production for pest control, but fumigation can kill non-target organisms within the soil, result in unintended shifts in the microbial community, and disrupt long-term soil health. Cover crops have been shown to strongly influence the numbers and communities...

Forests on the Move: Forest Inventories and Wood Anatomy from the Fragmented Forests of Guairá, Paraguarí, and Central, Paraguay

Creator:: Cervantes, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Forest composition in Paraguay has been in a state of change for the past half century due to land management practices, forest fragmentation, and deforestation for agriculture. How these factors affect dendrological diversity and wood anatomy in Paraguay is not well understood. This thesis documents Paraguayan forest composition on the...

Spatial Variation in Ecosystem Carbon Stocks and Emissions Resulting from Land-use Conversion: Two Studies in Mangrove Forests of the Dominican Republic

Creator:: Giovannoni, Leila R.
Abstract:: Mangrove forests store more organic carbon across ecosystem carbon pools than most other coastal and forested ecosystems, and are subject to high global rates of deforestation. For these reasons, they are recognized as prime candidates for inclusion in climate change mitigation strategies. However, the ecological drivers of regional and micro-scale...

Estimating the Influence of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Housing Prices

Creator:: Hossain, Lima
Abstract:: Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...

Spherical Au Nanoparticle Interaction with Lipid Monolayers Probed with Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy

Creator:: Faase, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles have become more prevalent from their use in sunscreen to antimicrobial agents in socks. In light of these applications, gaining a fundamental understanding of how NPs interact with humans is crucial for their future. Specifically, how cells interact with NPs and what factors drive the modes of cellular uptake....

Optimizing Production of Xylindein by Chlorociboria sp. and its Potential for Use with Nanocellulose

Creator:: Van Court, R. C.
Abstract:: Fungi from the genus Chlorociboria are known for their production of the blue-green quinonic pigment xylindein. Extracted xylindein has been the subject of investigations ranging from fabric dying to use a coloring agent in paint, and shows potential as an organic semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and other technologies. However,...
