  • Core Site Sediment Sources off of Sumatra

    Creator:
    Black, Bran
    Abstract:
    The intention of this honors thesis was to define the boundaries of the basins responsible for feeding sedimentary materials to the core sites taken for the 2007 OSU Sumatra Cruise. These boundaries were defined with the specific use in mind of tracking potential sources of material that would likely be...

  • Survey of rhizosphere associated entomopathogenic fungi on small fruits and Christmas trees in the Willamette Valley, OR

    Creator:
    Fisher, Joanna J.
    Abstract:
    The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana are commercially available as microbial control agents for the black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the key root-feeding insect pest in Pacific Northwest small fruits and ornamentals. Understanding habitat selection is critical to improve the efficacy, persistence and cost of...

  • Effects of caustic addition on black liquor rheology and thermal characteristics

    Creator:
    Euhus, Daniel D.
    Abstract:
    An important by-product of the kraft pulping process, black liquor is currently used in most pulp mills to produce steam in a recovery boiler. Two important black liquor characteristics are viscosity and burning (firing) characteristics, which determine the operating efficiency of the recovery boiler. Kraft black liquor is a complicated...

  • Antibiotic Discovery in Soil Bacteria Isolated from Indonesian Black Water Ecosystems

    Creator:
    Lam, Phillip Westly
    Abstract:
    Soil bacteria are known to be a prolific source of bioactive compounds. They produce secondary metabolites that can be used as therapeutic agents. This investigation focused on the chemistry and biology of secondary metabolites from two soil bacteria, Streptomyces herbaricolor ICBB 9409 and Streptomyces albiflaviniger ICBB 9297, which were isolated...

  • Diet analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from stomach contents off the coast of Newport, Oregon

    Creator:
    Doran, Renee E.
    Abstract:
    Black Rockfish are important commercial and recreational species and understanding their biology is useful in developing best management practices. A common means to assess diet in both freshwater and marine fishes is stomach content analysis, which can determine diet composition and infer foraging behaviors. We conducted a stomach content analysis...

  • Stability of accretion disks in binary black hole systems and their effects on merger parameters

    Creator:
    Hanson, Jesse
    Abstract:
    We analyze merger parameters of binary black hole systems (BBHSs), including orbital separation and time at which gravitational and viscous timescales intersect for all combinations of black holes (BHs) in the range 1-100 solar masses. Our initial examination of BBHS merger parameters using the assumption R=0.5r reveals suspicious trends in...

  • The Art and Science of Woodturning : A Year in Exploration

    Creator:
    Andersen, Claudia C.
    Abstract:
    Woodturner, artist, and scientist, Claudia Andersen, describes various anatomical features of wood, from the differences between softwoods and hardwoods to the various types of spalting. Over the past year, they have learned and developed their skills in woodturning. In this project, they accompany one woodturned piece with a description of...

  • Never Man Enough: Aggrieved Entitlement and Weaponized Insecurity in White American Men

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Riese C.
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the recent evolution of aggrieved entitlement and social fragility in young white American males and the subsequent violent backlash that certain individuals in this group have unleashed upon women, the LGBTQ community, Jewish people, Black people, and other socially vulnerable populations. Throughout the past decade, America at...

  • How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

    Creator:
    Ormand, Elora J.
    Abstract:
    Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...
