The effect of grazing interval on forage quality and production of meadow foxtail

Creator:: Wenick, Jess J.
Abstract:: For the last fifty years, meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis L.) has been invading native flood meadows throughout the Harney Basin in southeastern Oregon. The expansion of this grass species has been the result of its broad climatic requirements and ability to withstand drought while thriving in saturated soil conditions for...

A sustainable resource development plan framework for the Neskonlith Indian Band, British Columbia

Creator:: Mackasey, J. Patrick
Abstract:: A sustainable resource development plan framework was prepared for the Neskonlith Indian Band, who are located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. The framework intends to address issues involving; integrated resource management, traditional native land management, ecosystem management, and community-based resource management. A soft systems (Wilson & Morren, 1990)...

Water movement in the stem xylem in relation to xylem specific conductivity in four hardwood species

Creator:: Fallas-Cedeño, Lottie
Abstract:: In deciduous species, water exits stems mainly through leaf traces attached to the outer growth ring and yet we know that water ascends throughout the entire cross-section of the sapwood. There is an increasing amount of information on sap flow and sapwood hydraulic properties from separate studies, but little information...

Neutronic Analysis of a Liquid Metal Fast Reactor Experiment in the Large-I Position of the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:: Lilley, Benjamin C.
Abstract:: Material testing experiments are needed to enable the next generation of nuclear fission reactors. Concluding in 2009, the Boosted Fast Flux Loop (BFFL) project was devised as a way to test fast reactor materials and fuels in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), however the experiment location it used is now...

Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

Creator:: Ellison, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

A Study of Artificial Neural Networks for the Solution of Multi-group Slab Geometry Discrete Ordinates Transport Problems with Material Heterogeneity

Creator:: Kumar, Ravi
Abstract:: In this thesis, we expand the scope of a previously introduced Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method to solve the slab-geometry discrete ordinates (S$_N$) neutron transport equations. Specifically, we extend the method to energy-dependent (multi-group) fixed source problems involving heterogeneous media and more general boundary conditions - vacuum and incident flux...

Scaling analysis of the Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System for Gas-cooled Fast Reactors during a Depressurized Loss of Forced Convection Event

Creator:: Blake, Grant C.
Abstract:: The Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System (DRACS) is a passive safety system capable of removing decay heat directly from the reactor core. Its modularity makes it scalable for use in reactors with various power levels. Work has previously been completed to support inclusion of the DRACS in liquid metal reactors...

Comparison of total dose to individuals from temperate and arid environments

Creator:: Elmore, Brockway F., II
Abstract:: This paper analyzes the decision-making process utilized in temperate environments for building nuclear facilities and whether it was going to be applicable to nuclear facilities built in arid environments. To answer this question, the total dose to individuals from arid and temperate environments were compared using RESRAD-OFFSITE and changing the...

Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing with the Current Capabilities of MOOSE and Marmot

Creator:: VandenBroeder, Gavin T.
Abstract:: Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing (IIT) is a material characterization technique that is used to determine mechanical properties. The size effects present at this scale make it difficult to expand findings to a bulk scale. Modeling can be used to bridge this gap and better understand nanoscale IIT and the size...

Developing Software Tools to Characterize Electrochemical Loss Scenarios via Gamma Detection for Various Measurement Points, Source Geometries, and Process Times

Creator:: Harris, Noah C.
Abstract:: Faithful modeling of the expected gamma signals inside an electrochemical facility at various key measurement points is important for understanding what detection limits are available for the next generation of safeguards technologies. Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS) and the Separation Safeguards Performance Model (SSPM) were used to build...
