Engineering Student Perspectives of a New Required Programming Course

Creator:: Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
Abstract:: We present student perceptions of a new first-year engineering programming class that was designed by informed research practices. While the College of Engineering at Oregon State University saw a lot of major switching in the first year, there were not many students switching into computer science (CS). This could have...

Spatiotemporal Variability in Benthic-Pelagic Coupling on the Oregon-Washington Shelf: An Investigation of Bottom Water and Benthic Flux Data

Creator:: Hughes, Anna R.
Abstract:: Continental shelf sediments are sinks for dissolved oxygen and sources of many major and minor nutrients required for oceanic surface primary production, resulting in a strong coupling between benthic and pelagic biogeochemical cycling. However, the influence and spatiotemporal variability of benthic remineralization on bottom-water chemistry and the supply of nutrients...

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Avian Utilization and Community Composition in Willamette Valley Wetland Study Sites: A Comparative Analysis of Winter Seasons in 1995 and 2019

Creator:: Zimmerman, Marisa
Abstract:: Resident and migratory avifauna in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are heavily influenced by winter conditions and habitat characteristics, especially those of wetlands. As such, it is important to monitor avian communities and environmental factors at wetland sites within the Willamette Valley during winter. Using data from standardized avian point-count surveys,...

A Low-Volume Flow-Through System for Rearing Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Larvae

Creator:: Fleener, Henry R.
Abstract:: Standard larval Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) rearing systems can be described as either static or continuous flow. While rearing oyster larvae in static cultures can be a low-cost and simple method, static systems require significant husbandry effort, floorspace and can produce highly variable results due to environmental variance among cultures....

Novel Copper and Iron Complexes along the Oregon Coastal Upwelling Margin

Creator:: Bright, Peter, W.
Abstract:: Copper and iron are essential micronutrients that are required by marine primary producers for a variety of metabolic processes. Over 99% of both copper and iron are bound within organic complexes in the marine environment, however the molecular identity of many of these complexes remains unknown. The speciation of these...

Mining Temporal Patterns for Prediction: A Mixed-Integer Programming Approach

Creator:: Mansourifard, Farzaneh
Abstract:: In the past two decades, the advancement in data collection and storage have led to the accumulation of complex datasets. Consequently, various industries have sought data-driven solutions to predict and detect anomalies. Temporal patterns have emerged as potential features in prediction models that could improve the performance of the identification...

Assessing the Trade-Off Between Sustainability and Resiliency of Reinforced Concrete Alternatives in Corrosive Conditions: An LCA-System Dynamics Approach

Creator:: Moreno Rangel, Erick D.
Abstract:: Concrete has been categorized as a key contributor of CO2 (carbon) emissions into the atmosphere. This is mostly associated with the production of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The concrete and cement industries are pursuing a path to reduce their carbon emissions generally in accordance with the climate change goals outlined...

Power System Resilience Following a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake

Creator:: Weinmann, Riley
Abstract:: Just off the coast of the Pacific Northwest lies the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ); odds of a very large CSZ earthquake occurring in the next 50 years is estimated to be about 37%. A CSZ seismic event has the potential to cause wide scale damage not just to the power...

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...

Evaluating pollinator populations and lamb productivity from simple, diverse, and legume pastures in a dual use pasture system

Creator:: Caudillo, Mia C.
Abstract:: Dual use pasture systems, sometimes referred to as dual purpose pasture systems, take advantage of the land being used to maximize multiple outputs from a single area. Developing a system to support both production of grazing livestock as well as pollinator health is of increasing importance in pasture-based farming systems....
