African American/Black Upward Mobility through Sports : A Critical Analysis

Creator:: Smith, Michael D.
Abstract:: Research has shown that African Americans/Blacks, especially those with low socioeconomic status, acknowledge athletics as an avenue for upward mobility (Coakley, 2011). Although the chances of becoming a professional athlete might seem unachievable through sports, athletes develop tangible and intangible abilities that transfer and are useful in the years following...

The Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching of First Year Mathematics Graduate Teaching Assistants : The Case of Exponential Functions

Creator:: Keeling, Matthew
Abstract:: A teacher's mathematical knowledge for teaching has been shown to have a positive correlation with their students' success (Monk, 1994). So, when half of the students that start out in a STEM major switch out to a non-STEM major before graduation to in large part to instructors pedagogical methods and...

Modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors

Creator:: Spiegelberg, Matthew Craig
Abstract:: The primary focus of this thesis involves modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors (p-TFTs), moving towards the realization of a filly transparent thin-film transistor (TTFT). The modeling portion of this thesis emphasizes the development of physics-based TFT models, specifically focusing on the elucidation of non-ideal current-voltage characteristic behavior. A...

Effects of Thinning on Tradeoffs Between Drought Resistance, Drought Resilience, and Wood Production in mature Douglas-fir in Western Oregon

Creator:: Elfstrom, L. Madelene
Abstract:: Recent climate projections predict more frequent and severe drought conditions in western Oregon which is a threat to forest health, productivity, and structure. Land managers are increasingly concerned with how to create forest drought resistance: a tree or stand’s ability to maintain its growth rates during a drought, and resilience:...

Silvicultural Treatment Impacts on Understory Trees and 20-Year Understory Vegetation Dynamics in Mature Douglas-Fir Forests

Creator:: Priebe, Jim E.
Abstract:: Policy regarding the management of public forests has undergone a drastic shift over the past couple of decades due to the loss old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States. For much of the 20th century, forest management on public lands emphasized timber production through the use...

Reburn Severity and Vegetation Recovery in Southwestern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Weber, Rebecca N.
Abstract:: The Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northern California is greatly departed from its historic, mixed-severity fire regime. This departure manifests in larger wildfires, greater proportions of high burn severity within wildfire perimeters, and decreased diversity of post-fire vegetation successional stages and trajectories across the landscape compared to historical norms....

Estimating Tree Defect and Log Quality with Terrestrial Structure from Motion Photogrammetry and Handheld LiDAR

Creator:: Morgan, Carli J.
Abstract:: Forest inventories are periodic resource assessments that can estimate items such as timber volume and value, tree growth rates, carbon sequestration, forest health status, wildlife habitat, fuel loading, and more. Traditional inventories require a large investment of resources and well-trained workforce. To date, most foresters and timber cruisers inventory forests...

Effectual Entrepreneurship and its Application to a Microfluidics R&D Startup

Creator:: Brown, Matthew E.
Abstract:: An inventor seeks to leverage his unique means in order to create and commercially exploit new technologies. Until new technologies are sufficiently developed, they have the theoretical potential for commercial exploitation in a wide range of markets. Those opportunities are limited by physical bounds that are often only discovered through...

Innovative Coaching in Intercollegiate Athletics : Advocating for Cultural Responsiveness

Creator:: Thompson, Mitchell D.
Abstract:: It has been established that intercollegiate sport is an important social institution for student athletes of color in the United States (Coakley, 2012). White intercollegiate coaches have a prominent influence on the academic, athletic, social and emotional development of student athletes and therefore must be tuned into variation in cultural...

Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:: Baker, Josiah D.
Abstract:: This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...
