  • Scaling the Issue of Changing Disturbance Regimes: Implications of Novel Landscape Conditions for Black Stain Root Disease

    Creator:
    Bouché, Adam J.
    Abstract:
    Changes to disturbance regimes resulting from shifts in forest management practices have created novel landscape conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I analyzed the implications of changes to landscape conditions caused by forest management for the spread of a native root disease: black stain root disease (BSRD) of Douglas-fir. BSRD...

  • Accounting for Transient Dynamics Improves use of Marine Protected Areas as a Reference Point for Fisheries Management

    Creator:
    Quennessen, Victoria I.
    Abstract:
    Fisheries management that is based on quantitative assessment has commonly relied on estimating the unfished biomass of a fished stock to compare current and historical population size. Developing predictive models for this requires many years of catch and abundance data. Smaller, new, or mainly recreational fisheries may not have the...

  • Why Anchor Forests? Exploring a Conceptual Framework for Tribal Leadership in Cross-boundary Forest Governance

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Meredith A.
    Abstract:
    In response to the increasing pace and scale of wildfire and forest health challenges, the Intertribal Timber Council (ITC) proposed the creation of “Anchor Forests,” where a tribe would convene surrounding landowners to collaboratively manage the entire landscape, across property boundaries. This emergent concept has sparked conversation but has not...

  • Subsistence Harvest Diversity in Alaskan Food Sharing Networks

    Creator:
    Scaggs, Shane A.
    Abstract:
    Two striking characteristics of human beings are the diversity of resources that we use to sustain our lives and the extent to which we engage in coordinated, collective efforts to obtain and consume these resources. Together, these two characteristics are the foundation of human subsistence patterns. In many remote Alaskan...

  • A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

    Creator:
    Buskirk, John
    Abstract:
    The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...

  • Consequences of Influenza A Virus on Pneumococcal Biofilm Formation and Stability in the Absence of Host Factors

    Creator:
    Nutter, Laura
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus pneumoniae and Influenza A Virus both primarily infect the upper respiratory tract, with more severe disease occurring during coinfection than would be caused by either pathogen independently. Until recently, characterization of the interactions between these two pathogens has occurred exclusively in the context of a host or using host-derived...

    Abstract:
    Significant increases in the amount of data being streamed, collected, and processed have resulted in widespread adoption of the use of microservices to build scalable software applications. Unfortunately, current tools and frameworks are often insufficient at providing a simple, unified experience for the design, development, and deployment of microservices. They...

  • The Fungal Microbiome Associated with Grapevine Trunk Disease in Oregon Vineyards

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Jessie
    Abstract:
    Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs) are caused by a group of fungal pathogens that attack the xylem tissue of mature grapevines worldwide. In the past 30 years, their incidence has increased, both in emerging grape-producing regions, as well as those with an extended history of viticulture. In the same time span,...
