Timing of Volcanism in Central Oregon: Dating Tam McArthur Rim Volcano

Creator:: Landoni, Katherine G.
Abstract:: The Tam McArthur Rim is a volcanic center located within the Tumalo Volcanic Field (TVF), approximately 25 km west of Bend, OR. The rim comprises of shallowly dipping bedded sequences of intermediate and silicic flows with minor tephra interbedding capped by a rhyodacite dome. Glacial activity has exposed significant portions...

The potential influence of database configuration on the derivation of trace element partitioning expressions for clinopyroxene

Creator:: Cunningham, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Decades of experimental work has illustrated the high degree to which the partitioning of most elements is dependent on phase composition, temperature and pressure. In order to quantitatively describe clinopyroxene partitioning it is required to derive expressions using theoretical constraints calibrated with experimental data. The experimental database available for such...

Fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on selected Oregon grasses

Creator:: Adams, Vincent T.
Abstract:: Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of grasses that is transmitted by aphids. Little research has been done examining the response of aphids to different host grasses in naturally mixed communities. We measured the short-term fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a widely distributed vector of...

Development of Simple, Rapid, and Sensitive qPCR Assay for the Detection of Pseudocapillaria tomentosa in Danio rerio Tissue Samples

Creator:: Ramras, Monique A.
Abstract:: Pseudocapillaria tomentosa is a nematode that parasitizes Danio rerio, causing major disease that affects the economic commodities of fish industries and destroys experimental results at research facilities. There is a critical need for a rapid and sensitive diagnostic assay to test for P. tomentosa in D. rerio populations. PCR primers...

A Geochemical Model for the Petrogenesis of the Curaçao Lava Formation: Implications for the Origin of the Caribbean Plateau

Creator:: Krawl, Kyle A.
Abstract:: The Curaçao Lava Formation (CLF) records the magmatic and tectonic processes that formed the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP). A model of the petrogenesis of the CLF was developed using new geochemical and geochronological data. These data include major element compositions obtained using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), trace element concentrations...

Distribution of Chlorociboria species in riparian forests of Western Oregon

Creator:: Kramer, Olivia E.
Abstract:: Transects were run at five locations in the Benton County area searching for samples of Chlorociboria spp. on dead wood, with fifteen total samples found. Of these samples, eight samples had the wood species identified, with the majority found on Acer macrophyllum and one on Salix spp. The density of...

Nonmedical prescription stimulant use: exploring student perceptions and university response

Creator:: Foss, Austyn
Abstract:: This thesis explores trends and perceptions surrounding nonmedical use of prescription stimulants by university students throughout the United States. Furthermore, this study evaluated how universities in Oregon have responded to increased rates of nonmedical prescription stimulant use on campuses across the country. The following research questions are addressed: 1) What...

A Comparative Study of Climate Change Policy and Actions between the United States and Sweden

Creator:: Jacobs, Annie R.
Abstract:: The issue of global climate change and possible remedies has been debated between national governments since the 1970s. While some countries have adopted aggressive measures to address the issue, others have lagged in their efforts. The United States, as a key player in global climate change conferences, has focused its...

A proposed method to analyze meso- and microplastic pollution on beaches in Oregon

Creator:: Losh, Sage
Abstract:: Meso- and microplastic debris is becoming a rising coastal issue as more research highlighting the detrimental impacts this material has on marine organisms and the environment is performed. This research, however, continues to be conducted in a non-standardized manner meaning that the data being collected cannot be compared spatially or...

Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

Creator:: Parham, Anne A
Abstract:: Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...
