Students' Understanding of Discrete and Continuous Systems in Quantum Mechanics and Computation's Supporting Role

Creator:: Solorio, Christian D.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics is increasingly being taught with a spins-first approach where instructors use simple spin systems to introduce the principles of quantum mechanics rather than systems with wavefunctions. One of the defining characteristics of a spins-first approach is that systems studied have discrete bases, whereas systems with wavefunctions have continuous...

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys Taint in Wine : Impact on Wine Sensory, Effect of Wine-processing and Management Techniques

Creator:: Mohekar, Pallavi
Abstract:: Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), (Halyomorpha halys, Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive species that damages numerous agricultural crops including grapes. Related damage include lower berry weight with increased exposure and cracked berries as a result of BMSB feeding activity. The insect is currently detected in 43 US states including Oregon,...

A theoretical design of rational autonomy : integrating elementary and early childhood teacher education through a contemporary derivation from Maria Montessori's social cognitive field paradigm

Creator:: Mitchener, Virginia Wedler
Abstract:: The individual through earliest recorded history reveals contradictory views of the human life-span. "Am I a free and unique individual, able to make choices and decide my own destiny?, or, "Am I only a victim of circumstance, a speck of dust in the universe's whirlwind of fate?" Each view is...

Alternative orchard floor management practices, soil quality, nitrogen fertilizeruptake, and apple tree growth and yield

Creator:: McDonald, Sarah Finger
Abstract:: Orchard floor management (OFM) practices can improve soil function and alter the soil biological community. Soil function is dependent on soil forming materials and on management practices but little is known about how OFM affect orchard soil quality, fertilizer N uptake, or tree growth and production. Research plots were located...

Waving Arms to Teach & Learn Quantum Mechanics

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...

Examining Nepal’s Community Forestry to Understand Opportunities and Barriers to Successful Collective Action

Creator:: Pant, Suman
Abstract:: Nepal’s community forestry has been internationally recognized as an example of successful case of collective action. However, many scholars argue that although it has been successful in protecting forests from degradation, it has not been able to create an inclusive platform for political decision-making process. Using historical analysis, comparative case...

Investigating Provers' Understandings of Combinatorial Proof

Creator:: Erickson, Sarah A.
Abstract:: Enumerative combinatorics is an area of mathematics that is both highly accessible for students and widely applicable to other sciences and areas of mathematics (Kapur, 1970; Lockwood, Wasserman, & Tillema, 2020). One important class of problems in combinatorics is combinatorial proofs of binomial identities, which is a type of proof...

The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...

The Influence of Wildfire and Invasive Vegetation on Mule Deer

Creator:: Schuyler, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The western United States has experienced large-scale degradation due to land use and land cover changes, invasion of annual grasses, and expansion of woody plants into grass and shrublands and the resultant altered fire regimes. These landscape-scale changes have coincided with declining mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations, making habitat loss...
