Lamb growth and pasture production in agrivoltaic production system

Creator:: Andrew, Alyssa C.
Abstract:: Grasslands and croplands located in temperate agro-ecologies are ranked to be the best places to install solar panels for maximum energy production. Therefore, agrivoltaic systems (agricultural production under solar panels) are designed to mutually benefit solar energy and agricultural production in the same location for dual-use of land. However, both...

Reliability Analysis of a Freeze Desalination System

Creator:: Boschetti Tofano, Francisco A.
Abstract:: The unsustainable use of fresh water sources and unavailability of fresh water in certain parts of the world have created a demand for water desalination systems. Desalination methods are effective at producing consumable water, but often require large scale setups, high energy consumption, and careful maintenance. A team of students...

Creating Test Baking Methods Specifically for Whole-Wheat Sourdough Breads, In the Context of Local Grain Economies

Creator:: Jansen, Victoria E.
Abstract:: Recently local grains have become an area of economic growth. Local grain products, including whole-wheat and sourdough products, are increasingly in demand for their health benefits, unique flavor profiles, and association with local food movements. These local grain economies are beginning to boom, but they lack the technical aid that...

Old McDonald had a Microscope: The Impact of Research Spending on U.S. Agricultural Productivity

Creator:: Rietmann, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The United States is a global leader in agricultural productivity. Much of its productivity growth can be attributed to public investments in agricultural research and development, starting in the 19th century and continuing until today. Past studies have shown high returns to agricultural research investments, but publicly funded agricultural research...

Mathematical Investigation of Evaporation Synergy in Bi-Texture Soil Columns as a Function of Column Width

Creator:: Sumner, Michael J.
Abstract:: Evaporation synergy is a phenomenon that occurs between different classes of soil and allows for a greater amount/quantity of soil water evaporation. 20 of the 66 soil texture class combinations have been shown to exhibit evaporation synergy (Fisher, 2012), however the impact of column width on the functionality of this...

A Report on the Goat Industries of Oregon

Creator:: Lamphere, Charlotte A.
Abstract:: Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated by humans and continue to function as a key source of protein and economic value for many communities. In the sixteenth century, Spanish colonists brought goats to the Americas. Unlike other nations, the United States did not maintain a significant market...

Methods for Eliciting Adoption of Alternative Agricultural Practices : Application to Climate Change

Creator:: Burkum, Kelsey
Abstract:: As the climate conditions in regions shift, research seeks to gain more understanding of agricultural producers’ behavioral choices specifically in relation to climate change and alternative practices. This research aims to compare elicitation tools to find the most appropriate method to elicit agricultural producers’ choices and attitudes toward changing production...

Solutions to Water Resource and Environmental Challenges : Perspectives from the Agricultural Community in the Crooked River Watershed

Creator:: Busick, Brytann
Abstract:: This research explores how an agriculture-based community in the Crooked River Watershed of Central Oregon responds to a series of water resource and environmental challenges, some associated with projected climate change, amid increasing pressure to change management practices to better accommodate environmental needs. A key part of this research assesses...

Freeze Stage Analysis of an Indirect Freeze Desalination System

Creator:: Whitaker, Trevor A.
Abstract:: Freeze desalination poses as a potential solution to many of the issues that accompany current desalination methods. The research detailed in this manuscript involves creating and analyzing a numerical model of the freezing operation of an indirect contact freeze-melting (FM) desalination system. In this initial analysis, pure water is frozen...

The Implementation of Passive RFID Tags to Sample Volumetric Water Content for an Autonomous Irrigation System

Creator:: Guo, Matthew D.
Abstract:: The agricultural industry in the Western United States continues to possess issues of overwatering, accounting for over 80% of consumed water per year in the country. While technologies such as satellite imaging and sensor networks have slowly improved irrigation Best Management Practices to reduce superfluous water consumption, limitations associated with...
