Biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems of southern Oregon : presence, abundance and distribution across climate gradients

Creator:: Olarra, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In arid and semi-arid deserts, soils are commonly covered with biological soil crusts. The study of arid biocrusts and their ecological function has become increasingly common in the literature over the last several decades. Interestingly, no mention is made of biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems, raising the question as...

Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

Creator:: Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
Abstract:: An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

Parents’ Reflections on their Gender Socialization Practices with their Adolescent Daughters and Sons

Creator:: Blodgett, Jennifer A. H.
Abstract:: Parents shape their adolescents’ gender role attitudes through the process of gender role socialization. How parents socialize their adolescent’s gender role attitudes has long-lasting impacts on how youth navigate social relationships, envision work and family roles, and enforce or reject gender stereotypes. Adolescence is a period in which romantic interests,...

Identification of novel immune molecular pathways and response markers to OmniGen-AF® supplementation in a rat model

Creator:: Branson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: OmniGen-AF® (OG; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) is a feed additive containing brewers dehydrated yeast and B-vitamins that supports immune function in ruminant livestock. Targeted profiling of immune-associated genes in whole blood is an effective platform for identification of a) novel molecular pathways and b) immune response markers to...

Volcanic vulnerability : Determining the relationship between urban proximity to volcanoes and human development

Creator:: Hogue, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Many studies have looked at human settlements around individual volcanoes for volcanic risk analyses, but few have done a comparative study to identify possible global patterns. With the use of Landsat ETM+ data, this study identifies and compares urban proximity to the Decade Volcanoes to identify volcanic settlement patterns. These...

Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

Creator:: Inouye, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...

Frequency of use and perceived importance of communication in dietetics practice

Creator:: Vannoy, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore the extent of use, preparedness and importance of the communication skills currently listed in the foundation knowledge and skills for dietetics education and to explore how these skills are used in practice. A total of 403 self-administered questionnaires, listing eleven elements of...

Microbial alteration of the seafloor

Creator:: Josef, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...

Little green baby steps : transforming modern power production through microscale hydropower

Creator:: Holderman, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Microscale hydropower, facilities that produce between 1 kW and 1 MW of power, has the potential to revolutionize modern power production. Unlike conventional large scale operations, these water supplies can be utilized with little impact on the environment. Hydropower per unit production can be very affordable compared to other renewable...

Shake, rattle, and roll : awaking the visiting public's curiosity of geology via interpretation at Redwood National State Parks

Creator:: Natoli, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: By researching aspects of the geology of Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) and serving for two summers as a seasonal interpretive ranger, I have developed a training manual designed for fellow rangers. The descriptive nature of the manual, combined with its vivid illustrations, is designed to enable rangers of...
