Prevalence and Characterization of Listeria spp. Recovered from Pacific Northwest Produce Handling and Processing Facilities

Creator:: Jorgensen, John
Abstract:: Foodborne illness in the United States continues to be a complex and recurring issue despite our increased understanding of the pathogenic microorganisms responsible. Foodborne illness outbreaks and product recalls linked to pathogenic bacteria have been more frequent in the produce industry (e.g. fruits and vegetables) in the last ten years....

Using Spatial Capture-Recapture to Estimate Density of Roosevelt Elk in Western Oregon

Creator:: Nelson, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: Spatial capture-recapture (SCR) is employed for estimating abundance and density of species, particularly those that are cryptic or solitary, and evaluating how population density varies with habitat. However, it is uncertain whether estimates are biased when applied to species that aggregate, such as elk (Cervus canadensis). Wildlife managers in the...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...

An economic and socio-cultural analysis of new farm technology : the case of stabling in Senegal

Creator:: Fisher, Monica Grace
Abstract:: A study is conducted to provide information useful to the future development of agro-pastoralists in the Kolda Region through an economic and socio-cultural analysis of the practice of stabling. Two main issues are addressed: the generation and distribution of profits and the factors related to adoption of stabling. A partial...

Foraging Niche Separation of Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and Gentoo (P. papua) Penguins During the Breeding Season at Palmer Station, Antarctica

Creator:: Pickett, Erin
Abstract:: Climate-induced range overlap can result in novel interactions between similar species and potentially lead to competitive exclusion. The Western Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth and is experiencing a poleward climate migration. This transition from a polar to sub-polar environment has resulted in a...

A photoelastic stress analysis of a beam under shear and compressive loads

Creator:: Bitting, Kenneth Robert
Abstract:: The determination of failure is complicated when a structural element is subjected to combined rather than simple stresses. This is especially true when the principle of superposition does not apply. For such cases, tests of the element under the expected loads are required to determine its failure criteria. In this...

Combined Effects of Intensive Forest Management and Microclimate on Reproduction in a Cavity-Nesting Songbird

Creator:: Jones, Kristin N.
Abstract:: Future scenarios of global climate change rely on large-scale climate envelope models that do not account for local climatic conditions to which organisms most closely respond. Shifts in species distributions and phenology driven by climate change are well-documented, yet we lack a strong understanding of how climate change will influence...

Movement, dive behavior, and habitat-use of common murres (Uria aalge) in the Northern California Current System under variable ocean conditions

Creator:: Loredo, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Year-round habitat use of marine predators provides knowledge of important marine areas throughout different life stages. Large-scale, environmental variability, both in space and time, causes changes in the behavior and distribution of marine predators that are important to quantify for conservation. In the Northern California Current System (NCCS), common murres...

Effects of Teaching Household Actions to Address Ocean Acidification on Student Knowledge and Attitudes

Creator:: Erickson, Brian D.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA), the change in ocean chemistry due to increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is an environmental problem that is an active area of scientific research yet remains largely outside of the public’s awareness. It is often assumed that if we raise OA awareness, then...
