  • Estimating the economic net returns of Oregon & Washington forests with regard to climate change

    Creator:
    Johnson, Zoe I.
    Abstract:
    Little work has been conducted regarding the net returns of forest lands. The Ricardian model is ripe with potential to estimate the effects of climate on net returns to forestry. Multiple linear regression allows each climate variable to measure its effect of net returns with the assumption of all other...

  • Optimizing Monte Carlo simulation of the square-well fluid

    Creator:
    Perlin, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    We identify and develop efficient Monte Carlo methods for determining thermodynamic properties of the square-well fluid in order to test square-well density functional theories near the critical point. Previous works have developed generic so-called histogram methods for collecting statistics on low energy system states, but little or no literature exists...

  • The Climate Change - Homelessness Nexus : how disaster response institutions reinforce structural vulnerability in wildfire-impacted communities in Oregon

    Creator:
    Werdel, Carly Inez
    Abstract:
    In communities impacted by climate disasters, institutions largely determine the distribution of outcomes within a population. This research aims to examine the role of institutions in differential outcomes for displaced communities impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires in the Santiam Canyon and the Rogue Valley. Using semi-structured interviews of...

  • Successful Secessionist Movements and the Uncertainty of Post-Secession Quality of Life

    Creator:
    Stein, Chloe
    Abstract:
    A prevalent assumption among those engaging in secessions is that their quality of life will improve once they establish their own nation. This study examined this assumption by looking at how a successful secession impacted peoples’ quality of life. Despite the sheer number of active secessionist movements, very few actually...

  • Development of an Herbicide Properties Tool to Communicate Physiochemical Properties of Pesticide Active Ingredients

    Creator:
    Merritt, Jamie
    Abstract:
    The National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) is a cooperative agreement between Oregon State University and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that offers science-based information about pesticides and related topics to the general public, medical personnel, applicators, researchers, and regulators. The Herbicide Properties Tool project is the creation of an updated...

  • Effects of Facial Tattoos on Perceptions of Facial Trustworthiness

    Creator:
    Landrus, Bryn E.
    Abstract:
    Background: Individuals rapidly infer character traits and behaviors through the process of facial perception. Perceptions of trustworthiness, accurate or not, completed by authorities in the criminal justice system may have implications for individuals suspected of crimes, including harsher or longer sentencing decisions. Objective: The present study concerned how the presence...

  • The immunomodulatory properties of glycomacropeptide in THP-1 macrophage study

    Creator:
    McAllister, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a bioactive peptide found in the dairy product whey, along with whey protein isolate (WPI). Past studies have shown that digested GMP retains bioactivity in rodent guts. This study tested whether GMP or GMP-derived peptides or whey protein or whey protein-derived peptides inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines. THP-1 cells...
