Embodying Gaia: Bruno Latour’s Gaia and the Earthboundedness of Contemplative Pedagogy (a snail’s view)

Creator:: Schindler, Jason A.
Abstract:: Bruno Latour’s Facing Gaia provokes us to embrace our Earthboundedness to approach the problematic political ecologies of the Anthropocene. Latour’s call for the Earthbound is to re-trace networks of society, institutions, and meaning and to challenge, as enemy, those that would continue to behave as if we lived on more...

Citizen knowledge and opinions about watershed management in the South Santiam Basin in Oregon

Creator:: Wright, Angela Schaefer
Abstract:: Watershed management is widely recognized as an important component of healthy ecosystems and its success depends on cultivating the good will, stewardship values, and participation of citizens. Because much of the streamside land in Oregon is in private ownership activities on public lands will not be enough to protect salmon...

Toward a mixture design methodology for internally cured concrete that considers filling specific pore sizes caused by self-desiccation

Creator:: Montanari, Luca
Abstract:: Internal curing is a term used to describe a process in which curing water is provided to a concrete mixture from inside the mixture. Internal curing water has typically been provided in North America mixtures by using prewetted porous materials, like fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA). Alternative materials, such as superabsorbent...

Seasonal variability in diet and consumption by cottid and salmonid fishes in headwater streams in western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Raggon, Mark F.
Abstract:: Coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) and cottids (Cottus spp) commonly co-occur in headwater streams in western Oregon. Little is known about the comparative trophic ecology of these species or how they respond to seasonal scarcity of resources. In this study I evaluated the seasonal variability in diets and consumption...

Durability and Performance of High Early Strength Concrete for Structural Bridge Deck Overlays

Creator:: Smith, Jeremy A.
Abstract:: High early strength concrete (HESC) allows for faster construction with less impact on traffic, thus reducing the indirect costs associated with a project. There are multiple methods for achieving early strength, such as alternative cements like calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) or chemically accelerated portland cements. The standard criteria for an HESC...

A Comparison of Formation Factor to Standard Methods to Evaluate Transport Properties

Creator:: Whatley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Chloride-induced corrosion is one of the primary causes of the degradation of reinforced steel in concrete structures. Currently, the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) is the most specified method to determine the concrete’s resistivity to chloride ingress, thus a determining factor in assessing the durability of concrete. While it is...

Bioenergetic evaluation of diel vertical migration by bull trout

Creator:: Eckmann, Madeleine
Abstract:: I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...

Assessing the Thermal Sensitivity and Stormflow Response of Headwater Stream Temperatures: A Seasonal and Event-scale Exploration in Northern California, USA

Creator:: Wissler, Austin D.
Abstract:: Mountainous headwater streams make up ~80 % of stream length globally and are strongly connected with catchment hillslopes and riparian areas, which can influence water quantity, quality, and availability for downstream uses. Accordingly, effective management of headwater streams and riparian zones to maintain desired ecosystem services downstream is critical, particularly...

Assessment of the causal linkages between forests and fish: implications for management and monitoring.

Creator:: Martens, Kyle D.
Abstract:: Understanding the causal links between riparian forests, streams, and salmonids is important to help understand the likely effects of forest management practices. Previous studies have identified three major causal pathways (Instream Cover, Light, and Hydrology) through which riparian forests influence streams, and ultimately stream fishes. To evaluate the potential importance...

Autogenous deformation and chemical shrinkage of high performance cementitious systems

Creator:: Fu, Tengfei
Abstract:: In the past ten years, renewed research interest has shown the benefits of internal curing by incorporating saturated lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) in high performance concrete (HPC). As a result, the technology of internal curing has steadily progressed from laboratory studies to field applications. To determine the optimum LWFA content,...
