Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chaimov, Hilary
Abstract:: Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

Facility Planning for Large Equine Facilities in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Glenn, Aimee K.
Abstract:: Large equine facilities are comprised of many different departments (areas) that are necessary for the proper care and maintenance of horses. The placement of departments is often inefficient due to the slow growth of equine facilities. As a result, facility layout becomes a crucial aspect requiring explicit consideration because mandatory...

Fifty years of change in a Pacific Northwest winter forest bird community

Creator:: Clements, Nolan
Abstract:: North American bird populations have declined throughout the past half century. The majority of studies quantifying these declines have focused on spring and summer breeding birds; not the season of scarcity, winter. We re-surveyed 7 large study plots in Douglas fir forests initially surveyed in winter during the late 1960s...

Survey of Cyanophages: A Study of the Bacteriophages associated with Pacific Northwest Cyanobacterial blooms

Creator:: Riscoe, Erin W.
Abstract:: Cyanobacterial blooms are a growing concern in the Pacific Northwest because of their threat to watershed health and drinking water supplies. Bacteriophages are pathogens of bacteria and may contribute to the growth and decline of seasonal blooms. Bacteriophage S-CRM01, a lytic T4-type myophage, has been isolated from a freshwater strain...

Changes in Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest Soils After Wildfire

Creator:: Hughes, Abby
Abstract:: The soil microbiome drives nutrient transformation in forest soils and plays a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle of these ecosystems. Wildfires cause significant disturbance to ecosystems and are known to alter C sources available to microbes in forest soils. Summer wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are of growing...

Old Crops in a New World: Bringing Andean Tuber Crops to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reers, Michelle
Abstract:: Though currently relatively unknown outside Latin America, Andean root and tuber crops are rapidly gaining interest elsewhere. Tubers are a major food and important sources of nutrition in South America and have potential in countries outside their center of origin. We conducted a two-part study on oca (Oxalis tuberosa), mashua...

“Narco-Deforestation” in Central American Protected Areas: Developing A Spatiotemporal Proxy Database for Drug-Trafficking Activities from Media Reporting

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: On a global scale, illicit economies have dramatic impacts on the physical environment. Cocaine trafficking has been recognized as a major driver of deforestation inside Central American protected areas. A key problem in studying and managing the environmental impacts of illicit economic activity is the difficulty in obtaining reliable data....
