  • The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

    Creator:
    Redus, James Aaron
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

  • Irrigated agriculture as an indicator of socio-political stability in the Wadi el Far'a, West Bank

    Creator:
    Blankespoor, Brian
    Abstract:
    The Wadi el Far'a catchment is a tributary of the Jordan River located entirely the West Bank in the Middle East.

  • A collaborative potential assessment of project atmospheric brown clouds

    Creator:
    McNally, Amy
    Abstract:
    Collaboration between scientists and decision makers is a critical element in mobilizing science into action. Likewise, the United Nations defines collaboration between scientists and policymakers as a requisite component in the process of sustainable development. Despite the UN sustainability movement beginning in 1983, scientists may still be frustrated by their...

  • A topography of dams in China : impacts to agriculture, labor, and migration

    Creator:
    Foster-Moore, Eric
    Abstract:
    Dams are often promoted as a tool to reduce poverty and spur economic development. Dam construction worldwide, and particularly in China, which has built nearly half the world's large dams since 1949, remains contentious due to the potential for negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Despite numerous case studies, there is...

  • Exploring Educational Tools to Improve Transboundary Groundwater Management

    Creator:
    Steritz, Melissa S.
    Abstract:
    Groundwater tables are dropping quickly in many regions of the world. Central Asia is an arid region where groundwater abstraction rates often exceed recharge rates. The Pretashkent Aquifer is a crucial transboundary groundwater resource for the Republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Both countries rely on the aquifer as a primary...

  • Predicting sediment delivery from small catchments in the Western Cascades of Oregon using the U.S.F.S. disturbed Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model

    Creator:
    Geren, Barbara A.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. Forest Service on the Willamette National Forest currently employs the “Disturbed Water Erosion Prediction Project” (WEPP) model to determine potential suspended sediment delivery from timber harvests or other treatment scenarios given user-defined hillslope parameters. At the time of this study there was no known calibration or testing of...

  • Transboundary groundwater and international law: past practices and current implications

    Creator:
    Matsumoto, Kyoko
    Abstract:
    Despite their significance, physical interactions between surface and groundwater have largely been ignored in international water law. While surface water has been given considerable attention as a transboundary natural resource, groundwater has not received the same recognition. International legal doctrines regarding water, such as the 1997 United Nations Convention on...

  • Scoring Water Stewardship at Academic Institutions: A Water Resources Management Scoring Framework for Future Sustainability, Resilience and Innovation

    Creator:
    Shaver, Josiah J.
    Abstract:
    In the face of the global climate crisis, paired with current and future risks over water resources, the importance of effective water resources management cannot be overstated. However, there is a significant lack of specific metrics used to track water stewardship on a broad scale. Thus, in order to track...

    Abstract:
    Snap beans are the vegetable form of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with low fiber, stringless and round, succulent pods that are eaten in the immature stage. Seed companies commit significant resources to maintaining purity and uniformity of snap bean cultivars. While some variability may be introduced through outcrossing (beans...
