Optimal soaring by a small autonomous glider

Creator:: Kyle, Jason A.
Abstract:: Extending the flight time of an autonomous unmanned air vehicle by soaring is considered. A suboptimal controller is developed and successful static soaring is demonstrated with a 6 degree of freedom glider model. Altitude gain rates of between ¼ and ½ m/s are achieved with this simple implementation. A hybrid...

A test fixture and deembedding procedure for high-frequency substrate characterization

Creator:: Webb, Kyle M.
Abstract:: At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...

Estimating impacts of a vehicle mile tax on Oregon households

Creator:: Nakahara, Kyle S.
Abstract:: Oregon’s gasoline tax no longer serves as an economically efficient revenue source due to increasing fuel efficiency and the emergence of alternative fuels. In response to this problem, the Oregon Department of Transportation is exploring alternatives to the gasoline tax. Among the most promising alternatives is a flat-rate vehicle mile...

Opposing worldviews : Cuicatec values of cultural and natural resources in a western paradigm

Creator:: Hearn, Kyle P.
Abstract:: Both conflicts and new identities result when indigenous' traditional values of landscape and resource management are superimposed with federal governments' management of archaeological and forest resources in federally designated protected areas. This thesis examines the relationship and discourse between two Cuicatec towns in Oaxaca, Mexico and three Mexican government agencies...

Field and greenhouse studies with Acalymma and Diabrotica : protection of cucurbits with a kaolin-based particle film : feeding damage to cucumbers with and without cucurbitacin

Creator:: Reich, Joel A.
Abstract:: Research was conducted in the field and greenhouse to determine if a kaolinite-based particle film, Surround®, would reduce colonization and early season feeding damage in cucurbits by the Western Striped Cucumber Beetle, Acalymma trivitattum (Mannerheim). Greenhouse studies were designed to determine effect of particle film on cucumber dry weight production...

An evaluation of understory vegetation dynamics, ecosystem resilience and state and transition ecological theory in an eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: Relatively recent increases in ponderosa pine abundance have effected unprecedented changes to ecosystem structure and function. Efforts to restore ponderosa pine systems are often focused on the manipulation of tree structure and the re-introduction of a more natural fire regime. Successful restoration should also incorporate understory components but information addressing...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...

To grow or to buy : food staples and cultural identity in the Southern Ecuadorian Andes

Creator:: Karnes, Daniel A.
Abstract:: In this era of free trade and globalization, food is traveling greater and greater distances to its consumers. This is causing small farms and small farmers all over the world to protest as their livelihood is being undercut by cheap agricultural commodities from outside their communities. In the Ecuadorian Andes,...

An examination of kin and nonkin foster parents’ experiences

Creator:: De Costa, Jennifer L. (Jennifer Loretta)
Abstract:: The growth of foster care, particularly kin foster care has greatly outpaced our knowledge. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to develop a more informed understanding of foster family functioning from the perspective of foster parents. This study examined the experiences of 9 kin and 12 nonkin foster...

Numerical study of droplet formation with nozzle dynamics and multiple droplet impingement

Creator:: Sangplung, Saangrut
Abstract:: Droplet formation from a flexible nozzle plate driven by a prescribed-waveform excitation of a piezoelectric is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the VOF method. The droplet generator with a flexible nozzle plate, which is free to vibrate due to the pressure acting on the plate,...
