Design and construction of an X-ray machine for lecture demonstration

Creator:: Semler, Mark Orion
Abstract:: A design for an x-ray machine to be used as a visual aid for the instruction of x-ray theory and x-ray machine operation has been presented. From this design an x-ray machine was constructed and tested. Components used in an x-ray machine have been divided in to three sections; a...

An Assessment of Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) Vital Rates in Green and Burned Forests within a Pyrodiverse Landscape Mosaic

Creator:: Kerstens, Mark E.
Abstract:: Vital rates and population connectivity are fundamental concepts in animal ecology and such information is critical for successful conservation planning. The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a species of conservation concern because of its strong association with forests recently burned by high-severity wildfire. However, several recent studies have found that...

Reproductive success of the Hawaiian common gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis) nesting in taro and managed wetlands on Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i

Creator:: Webber, Bryn M.
Abstract:: The endangered Hawaiian common gallinule (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) is an endemic Hawaiian waterbird that occurs only on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i. Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) supports the largest population of Hawaiian gallinule on either island and is also one of the highest producers of commercially grown taro in the state....

Supplemental Feeder Use by Free-Living Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) in a Mediterranean Climate

Creator:: Lajoie, Janel L.
Abstract:: The majority of households in the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia feed wild birds, and 53 million people in the U.S. spent more than $5 billion on bird food and feeding accessories in 2016. Given the massive scale over which it occurs, purposeful feeding of wild birds has the potential...

Created Snag Dynamics and Influence on Cavity-nesting Bird Communities over 25 years in Western Oregon

Creator:: Barry, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Snags provide critical habitat for nearly one-third of wildlife species in forests of the Pacific Northwest, so historic declines in snags are thought to have had a strong impact on biodiversity. Resource managers often create snags to mitigate the scarcity of snags within managed forests, but information regarding the function...

Combined Effects of Intensive Forest Management and Microclimate on Reproduction in a Cavity-Nesting Songbird

Creator:: Jones, Kristin N.
Abstract:: Future scenarios of global climate change rely on large-scale climate envelope models that do not account for local climatic conditions to which organisms most closely respond. Shifts in species distributions and phenology driven by climate change are well-documented, yet we lack a strong understanding of how climate change will influence...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Associated with Reproductive Success of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) at East Sand Island, Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Bailey, Olivia A.
Abstract:: Declines in wild salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations in the Columbia River basin have resulted in managers identifying that avian predation on juvenile salmonids is an important limiting factor for salmonid recovery. Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia), particularly those nesting in the Columbia River estuary, were identified as key avian predators that...

Resource Selection, and Demographic Rates of Female Greater Sage-Grouse Following Large-Scale Wildfire

Creator:: Foster, Lee
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of habitat disturbance on a species' habitat selection patterns, and demographic rates, is essential to projecting the trajectories of populations affected by disturbance, as well as for determining the appropriate conservation actions needed to maintain those populations. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of conservation concern...

Parasitoid wasps of Douglas-fir Needle Midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae Condrashoff,1961) larvae in two Christmas tree farms, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Voyvot, Saliha
Abstract:: Douglas-fir needle midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae, Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a native invasive species in Pacific Northwest Christmas tree farms, seed orchards, and nurseries where Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) is present. Douglas-fir needle midge (DFNM) causes discoloration and galls on the needles, thereby it affects the market value of the Christmas...

"They called me the hyacinth girl" : T. S. Eliot, masculinity, and the Great War

Creator:: Query, Patrick
Abstract:: This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...
