Harbor dredging and benthic infauna : a case study

Creator:: Parr, Robert Alexander
Abstract:: This study of the immediate, localized effects of a small dredging operation on the benthic invertebrate community in the shipping channel of Coos Bay, Oregon, was designed: 1) to measure the extent of the physical removal of benthic macro- and meiofauna by hopper dredging; 2) to record the subsequent benthic...

Elicitors: A Novel Tool for Controlling the Colorado Potato Beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Creator:: Butcher, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Over the last several decades, potato production has increased globally as it has been recognized as an important component to improving food security. However, potato production has been continuously challenged by pests. Current pest management practices rely heavily on chemical pesticides. Unfortunately, the overuse of pesticides can be harmful to...

Investigation of Drag Coefficient and Virtual Mass Coefficient on Rising Ellipsoidal Bubbles

Creator:: Dueñas, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Accurately describing drag and virtual mass forces in two-phase flows is crucial for high fidelity modeling of nuclear thermal hydraulic safety systems. This study compares existing drag coefficient correlations commonly used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications for air bubbles to experimental data collected for ellipsoidal air bubbles of varying...

Membrane permeability properties of human granulocytes

Creator:: Vian, Alexander M.
Abstract:: In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in the use of granulocyte transfusions to treat infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. However, granulocytes only remain functional for about a day after isolation and this short shelf life is a significant drawback. Cryopreservation would allow long term storage...

Wind ramp prediction

Creator:: Alexander, Chianna M.
Abstract:: The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

Validation of radiographic automatic exposure control device testing in the era of filmless radiography : and new variables associated with testing

Creator:: Allman, Robert M.
Abstract:: The exposure needed for a clinically useful image requires much less precision when using digital radiography (DR) than when using screen/film (SF) radiography. The Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) device was developed for ensuring accurate and precise exposures with SF technology. This thesis evaluates the importance of the AEC device in...

Boating Recreation in Oregon : Economic Importance, Trends and Implications for the Future

Creator:: Neely, Robert M.
Abstract:: The lakes, rivers and coastal waters of Oregon have long provided the state's residents and visitors with unique recreational boating environs and opportunities. However, this popular activity represents more than a form of recreation: boating is an important component of the Oregon economy. Each year, boaters spend millions of dollars...

The economics of controlling cattle feedlot runoff

Creator:: McDowell, Robert M.
Abstract:: A computer model is developed to estimate the initial investment and annual operating costs of feedlot runoff control systems. Costs are estimated for complete control systems consisting of a retention pond, settling basin, clean water diversion-runoff collection structures, disposal site, and an irrigation system. The model requires design inputs and...
