  • Investigation of oxide semiconductor based thin films : deposition, characterization, functionalization, and electronic applications

    Creator:
    Rajachidambaram, Meena Suhanya
    Abstract:
    Nanostructured ZnO films were obtained via thermal oxidation of thin films formed with metallic Zn-nanoparticle dispersions. Commercial zinc nanoparticles used for this work were characterized by microscopic and thermal analysis methods to analyze the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology and oxidation characteristics. These dispersions were spin-coated on SiO₂/Si substrates...

  • Ecological Forestry : A Critical Analysis

    Creator:
    Batavia, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    Although science is widely accepted as a fundamental source of information underlying decisions about forest management and conservation, considerably less attention has been paid to the inevitable role that normative values and beliefs play in such decisions. This thesis highlights the normative dimensions of "ecological forestry," a strategy of forest...

  • An application of transfer function and econometric procedures to employment impact analysis: Grant County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Lin, Tsae-yun Daphne
    Abstract:
    This study centered upon two objectives. First, to demonstrate and apply a statistical method, the transfer function, and to test its usefulness in regional economic modeling and regional impact ana1ysis; and second, to obtain a better understanding of the causal relationships among total employment, government employment, lumber and wood products...

  • Determination of Trade-offs between Wetland Ecosystem Services in an Agricultural Landscape

    Creator:
    Garrison, Stacey L.
    Abstract:
    Wetland restoration mitigates effects of agricultural development on water quality, flooding, and habitat loss. Multi-objective optimization for wetland locations and sizes has not included objective functions for water quality, hydrology, and habitat in unison, limiting analysis of trade-offs among these ecosystem services. This study establishes two methods to improve the...
