Development of a synoptic map-pattern climatology to supplement current weather forecasting methods

Creator:: Frey, Melissa D. (Melissa Dawn)
Abstract:: Many meteorologists rely heavily on their experience of past weather events to supplement their forecasting tools, such as using past experience to help decide between conflicting numerical weather prediction models. Experiential knowledge is an important piece of forecasting, however it is highly subjective and variable from one forecaster to another....

Composition, structure, and biomass of cottonwood-dominated gallery forests along a successional gradient, Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Fierke, Melissa K.
Abstract:: Recognizing the importance of native black cottonwood-dominated riparian forests is especially important to preserve, protect, and manage for biodiversity in the Willamette River Valley. Species composition, structure, and biomass along a successional gradient from stand initiation to late succession of black cottonwood (Populus balsamfera L. subsp. trichocarpa (T. & G.)...

Characterization of Low Temperature Crystallization Growth Parameters of the Growth-dominated Phase Change Materials: Ge1Sb6Te1 and Ga15Sb85 by Optical Microscopy

Creator:: Winseck, Mark M.
Abstract:: Phase change memory materials are a set of chalcogenide or pnictogenide materials systems currently being researched for use in optical and resistive based memory systems due to their large change in optoelectronic properties between the amorphous and the crystalline states. For these materials systems to be considered as a suitable...

Reactivity Testing of Waterglass and the Investigation into an Alternative Binder Enhanced with Cellulose Nanocrystals

Creator:: McAlexander, Melissa
Abstract:: Most of the concrete in the world is produced using hydraulic cement (ordinary portland cement, OPC) and siliceous or alumino-siliceous supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Due to the shift in focus toward environmental sustainability within the construction industry, alkali-activated cementitious systems (AAC) have gained significant attention to reduce the carbon footprint...

Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...

Habitat Use of Female Columbian Black-tailed Deer in Western Oregon

Creator:: Schrautemeier, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) are important economically, ecologically, and culturally as an indigenous species in western Oregon. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) observed declines in black-tailed deer populations since the late 1980’s and attributes these declines to reduction in quality and availability of habitat, following the...

Analysis of diagonally cracked conventionally reinforced concrete girders in the service load range

Creator:: Robelo, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Performance evaluation of conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridge superstructure elements with diagonal cracks is of interest to the bridge engineering community. Standardized methods to predict service-level stress magnitudes in cracked bridge girders under combined bending and shear forces are not available. An analysis procedure was developed to determine the response...

Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

Creator:: Austin, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...

An evaluation of blackberry harvest sanitation and the ability of foodborne pathogens to survive in blackberry products

Creator:: Sales, Melissa M.
Abstract:: Blackberries, genus Rubus, are an important Oregon agricultural commodity. In their fresh and processed forms, they offer many health benefits and may be able to help Americans better achieve fruit consumption recommendations because of convenience and pleasant sensory qualities. However, the susceptibility of blackberry products to contamination with bacterial pathogens...

The influence of light intensity on the phytochemistry of Chrysolepis chrysophylla (Fagaceae) and the relationship to the herbivory of Habrodais grunus herri (Lycaenidae)

Creator:: Bowden, Richard I.
Abstract:: Defensive chemical and nutritive quality of young leaves were measured for 72 individual trees of Chrysolepis [Castanopsis] chrysophylla in conjunction with light intensities of two different stand types and population numbers of Habrodais grunus herri in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. Leaves were collected in the spring and leaf characteristics...
