Detection of the Burkholderia cepacia complex in soil environments

Creator:: Miller, Suzanne C. McKenzie
Abstract:: Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria reside in soil, plant rhizospheres, and water, but the prevalence of Bcc in outdoor environments is not clear. In this study, we sampled a variety of soil and rhizosphere environments with which people may have contact: playgrounds, athletic fields, parks, hiking trails, residential yards and...

Effects of Stage 0 treatment on spring Chinook juveniles within South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon

Creator:: Hahn, Aleah
Abstract:: Low-tech habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects. In 2018, one kilometer of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, OR was modified to the Stage 0 condition for the benefit of ESA-listed Chinook by raising the incised channel to...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:: Mecham, Megan E.
Abstract:: Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...

Patterns of temporal and spatial habitat use by sympatric speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus) and longnose dace (R. cataractae) in an Oregon Cascades stream

Creator:: Dodge, Karen L.
Abstract:: Microhabitat use by adult speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus), adult longnose dace (R. cataractae), and juvenile dace (R. spp.) was investigated during the summer of 1992 in an Oregon Cascades stream. Selected areas were snorkeled day and night in order to evaluate differential use of habitat resources both temporally and spatially....

Structure, function, and analysis of Coleoptera and Heteroptera assemblages on two species of hazelnut in Oregon

Creator:: Wetherill, Karen R.
Abstract:: The European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., was imported into the U.S. in the late 1800's and is now grown throughout the Willamette Valley in Oregon. A native species of hazelnut, C. cornuta Marshall, is a common shrub found in forested areas of the Pacific Northwest. Foliage of both C. avellana...

Assessing Soil Salinity from Produced Water Spills with Electromagnetic Induction : A Case Study on Cropland in Bottineau County, North Dakota

Creator:: Erickstad, Karen M.
Abstract:: Produced water is a highly saline waste product of oil and gas production, which is generated in larger volumes than the hydrocarbons themselves in the United States. Spillage of produced water is of concern because its high salinity can contaminate soil, surface water and groundwater resources, and kill vegetation, including...

Exploring the lived experiences of rural college student transitions

Creator:: Ast, Karen M.
Abstract:: This study explores the lived experiences of first-year, rural, Oregon students in their initial entry to college. Through qualitative research involving one-on-one interviews with 10 participants, the author examines the transition of rural students into higher education, common experiences of rural students in their first term of college, and perceived...

Consistency and effectiveness of advisory speeds: an evaluation of current posting techniques

Creator:: Rohani, Joshan W.
Abstract:: Crash rates are said to be nearly three times higher on curved sections than those on straight sections of rural roadways. As a result, advisory curve/speed signs are standard practice to mitigate these risks on sharp horizontal curves. The industry standard for determining appropriate and uniform speeds for such signs...

Spatio-temporal patterns and trends in MODIS-retrieved radiative forcing by snow impurities over the Western U.S. from 2001 - 2022

Creator:: Jensen, Anna S.
Abstract:: Seasonal mountain snowpack of the western US (WUS) is a key water resource to millions of people. Impurities at the snow surface directly affect snowmelt timing and rate, as they contribute to earlier peak streamflow, snow disappearance, and less water availability in dry months. Predicting the locations, timing, and intensity...

The Influence of Heel Drop on Running Biomechanics in Female Runners

Creator:: Ter Har, Justin A.
Abstract:: Background: Low drop cushioned running shoes have been popular over the past decade despite a lack of research on low drop shoes. There is some evidence that low drop cushioned shoes increase vertical ground reaction forces (VGRFs) and influence ankle kinematics but no study to date has focused on large...
