  • Runoff and Sediment Transport from Harvested Hillslopes to Riparian Buffers of Rocky Mountain Headwater Catchment

    Creator:
    Puntenney-Desmond, Kira C.
    Abstract:
    Shallow subsurface flow and surface runoff are spatially and temporally variable in forested environments. The location and timing of this runoff depends on both site characteristics (e.g., vegetation, soil texture, geology, and topography) and on time-varying conditions (e.g., soil water content, precipitation type, duration, magnitude, and intensity). Forest management activities...

  • Image-based dietary intake assessment ability of dietetic students and interns

    Creator:
    Howes, Erica M.
    Abstract:
    Image-based dietary intake assessment (IBDIA) is a new way by which the accuracy of dietary assessment can be improved through the use of digital images of food. The ability of nutrition and dietetics students and interns to accurately interpret images for diet intake assessment is currently unknown. An online survey...

  • Influence of nitrogen and phosphorus on interference between medusahead and squirreltail

    Creator:
    Young, Kert R.
    Abstract:
    Restoration of invaded aridlands is required to reduce the exorbitant ecological and monetary losses related to noxious weeds. An understanding of how reduced and increased levels of soil N and P influence interference between medusahead and squirreltail is imperative to understanding how squirreltail may be used in restoration of medusahead...

  • Observational study of buffered bike lane design implementation of roadway bicycling in Portland, Oregon

    Creator:
    Rios, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    Bicyclists are one of the highest and most vulnerable road users. This is due to the higher likelihood of being seriously injured when involved in a crash. This research seeks to understand two different behavioral interactions of an implemented facility user: the motorist (secondary user) and bicyclist (primary user). The...

  • The Discourse of Demographic Diversity in U.S. Natural Resources Scholarly Literature: A Multi-Methods Qualitative Study

    Creator:
    Brown, Jasmine K.
    Abstract:
    Racial, ethnic and gender diversity have been long term topics of discussion in natural resources. Yet to date, there has not been a comprehensive review of the existing literature within the discourse of demographic diversity. Therefore, I conducted a systematic review of demographic diversity in the disciplines of forestry, fisheries,...

  • Crown structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of two species mixtures in the central Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    Garber, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...

  • Towards Annotation-Efficient Video Representation Learning

    Creator:
    Patravali, Jay Sanjay
    Abstract:
    Labeling videos is costly, time-consuming and tedious. These costs can escalate in applications such as medical diagnosis or autonomous driving where we need domain expertise for annotation. Few-shot action recognition aims to solve this problem by annotation-efficient learning mechanisms. This thesis presents MetaUVFS as the first Unsupervised Meta-learning algorithm for...

  • Deposition and characterization of transition metal oxides from aqueous solution

    Creator:
    Betterton, Sharon A.
    Abstract:
    The aqueous chemistries of two transition metal cations, Zr⁴⁺ and Nb⁵⁺, are examined and then used to develop inorganic precursor solutions. The oxides of these cations (ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅) are deposited and characterized, and their morphological and optical properties discussed. Due to the obstacles created by niobium's aqueous chemistry, an...

  • Investigating Low-Frequency Vibrations in Condensed Matter Using Time-Resolved Third-Harmonic Generation Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Wang, Liang
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present a new method we developed to study low frequency (< 700 cm⁻¹) vibrational dynamics: Time-resolved third-harmonic generation (TRTHG) spectroscopy. Among a variety of vibrational spectroscopy techniques, TRTHG differentiates itself with robustness, versatility, and simplicity. In TRTHG experiment, that involves only two ultrashort laser pulses, the...

  • Transformation of Western Hemlock Tree Crowns by Dwarf Mistletoe

    Creator:
    Calkins, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Hemlock dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense subsp. tsugense) is an arboreal, hemiparasitic plant that principally parasitizes western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). Hemlock dwarf mistletoe exerts a profound influence on infected trees that can drastically change the structure of the tree crown due to reduced growth, top dieback, branch deformation and death, resulting...
