The Deathscape of St. Paul: Historic Cemeteries as Cultural Landscapes

Creator:: Boulware, Brooke L.
Abstract:: A cultural landscape analysis of two historic cemeteries in St. Paul, Oregon demonstrates that the residents of this early community were unknowingly using grave markers to express their worldview and the identities that they felt were most important. Because of the historical and cultural development of this community as the...

Alternative orchard floor management practices, soil quality, nitrogen fertilizeruptake, and apple tree growth and yield

Creator:: McDonald, Sarah Finger
Abstract:: Orchard floor management (OFM) practices can improve soil function and alter the soil biological community. Soil function is dependent on soil forming materials and on management practices but little is known about how OFM affect orchard soil quality, fertilizer N uptake, or tree growth and production. Research plots were located...

Investigating arc behavior in a DC vacuum arc remelting furnace using magnetic flux density measurements

Creator:: Woodside, Rigel
Abstract:: The behavior of a metal vapor plasma arc in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace is believed to contribute to the formation of defects in reactive metal and super-alloy ingots. Industry standard instrumentation, which includes electric current and voltage measurements, can asses the stability of an arc but cannot predict...

Disciplining the reception of Darwin : the botanical and sociological work of Lester Frank Ward

Creator:: Zimmerman, Katharine
Abstract:: The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Influence of cover crops on vine performance at two Willamette Valley vineyards

Creator:: Sweet, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: It is estimated that 50-75% of Oregon vineyards cultivate at least every other alley in order to 1) reduce water stress 2) increase vineyard canopy temperatures and 3) increase nutrient availability. Because many vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, frequent tillage could result in increased soil erosion, decreased soil quality...

Modeling and development of fabrication method for embedding membrane based microvalve in bulk microfluidic device

Creator:: Abhinkar, Bindiya S.
Abstract:: PDMS membrane-based microvalves are becoming increasingly more important for the control of fluid flow within MECS applications such as microreactors used to synthesize nanoparticles and biological macromolecules. The motivation for pursuing PDMS membrane-based microvalves is for implementing a plug flow microreactor to simulate slug flow yielding a narrower residence time...

The beginnings of a Russian natural history : the life and work of Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 - 1755)

Creator:: Koroloff, Rachel
Abstract:: Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 – 1755) was a successful early Russian naturalist whose professional and social destinies were linked to eighteenth-century Russia's nascent but growing naturalist tradition. During his own time Krasheninnikov bridged the gap that existed in Russia between a distinctly European scientific practice and a tradition of Russian...

A literary discourse on the evolution of gender & sexuality in the first & second waves of feminism : Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" deconstructs established gender roles as Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" reconstructs them

Creator:: Hotard, Tami
Abstract:: The two literary touchstones of Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Willa Cather examined in this thesis anchored a larger discussion of the discourse about gender and sexuality during the First and Second Waves of feminism in America. "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Gilman deconstructed the notion of "femininity" manifested at the turn...

Estimating the dry matter production, nitrogen requirements, and yield of organic farm-grown potatoes

Creator:: McQueen, John Paul Gainer
Abstract:: As part of a participatory research project, where farmers and Oregon State University researchers collaborated, aspects of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growing systems were studied. It was determined through conversations with the farmers that quantification of certain growth parameters of potato was lacking, including dry matter accumulation, crop nitrogen (N)...
