Colonization and extinction in dynamic habitats: an occupancy approach for a Great Plains stream fish assemblage

Creator:: Falke, Jeffrey A., Bailey, Larissa L., Fausch, Kurt D., and Bestgen, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Despite the importance of habitat in determining species distribution and persistence, habitat dynamics are rarely modeled in studies of metapopulations. We used an integrated habitat-occupancy model to simultaneously quantify habitat change, site fidelity, and local colonization and extinction rates for larvae of a suite of Great Plains stream fishes in...

Headwater Streams and Wetlands are Critical for Sustaining Fish, Fisheries, and Ecosystem Services

Creator:: Colvin, Susan A. R., Sullivan, S. Mazeika P., Shirey, Patrick D., Colvin, Randall W., Winemiller, Kirk O., Hughes, Robert M., Fausch, Kurt D., Infante, Dana M., Olden, Julian D., Bestgen, Kevin R., Danehy, Robert J., and Eby, Lisa
Abstract:: Headwater streams and wetlands are integral components of watersheds that are critical for biodiversity, fisheries, ecosystem functions, natural resource-based economies, and human society and culture. These and other ecosystem services provided by intact and clean headwater streams and wetlands are critical for a sustainable future. Loss of legal protections for...

Detailed analysis of the hydrogen sulfide production step in a sulfur-sulfur thermochemical water splitting cycle

Creator:: Caple, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The production of hydrogen has been one of the most heavily studied, energy related fields over the past half century, yet few methods are commercially or economically viable and none are currently sustainable. Of those aiming at the sustainable production of hydrogen using renewable resources, perhaps the most widely studied...

Growth and reproductive ecology of Larix laricina in interior Alaska

Creator:: Brown, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with Picea mariana. In this study, I...

Stratigraphic and structural framework of Himalayan foothills, northern Pakistan

Creator:: Pogue, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The oldest sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks exposed in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan record a gradual transition seaward from the evaporites of the Salt Range Formation to pelitic sediments deposited in deeper water to the north. The Upper Proterozoic Tanawal Formation was derived from erosion of a northern highland produced...

On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

Creator:: Stoller, Kevin R.
Abstract:: William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

Oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene with tert-butyl peroxide in a carbon nanotube supported corona discharge microreactor

Creator:: Caple, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Sulfur content in fuel is an increasingly important environmental concern. A commonly used method for the removal of sulfur bearing species from fuel is through hydrodesulphurization. However, due to the implementation of Ultra-Low Diesel Sulfur (ULDS), deeper desulphurization techniques must be explored. In this study, a single phase oxidative desulphurization...

Determining the cost of old-growth set-asides on the OSU college forest

Creator:: Birch, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The objectives for the use of the Oregon State University college forest include providing both facilities for research and teaching, and providing funding through timber harvest. The older age-classes of the forest are valuable for attaining both objectives. The opportunities and costs of removing acreage in the older age classes...

Numbering-Up of Microscale Devices for Megawatt-Scale Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Concentrating Solar Power Receivers

Creator:: Zada, Kyle R., Hyder, Matthew B., Drost, M. Kevin, and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable resources and greenhouse gas emissions in electricity production. In CSP systems, a field of heliostats focuses solar radiation on a central receiver, and energy is then transferred to a thermal power plant at high temperature. However,...

Integrating precipitation, grazing, past effects and interactions in long-term vegetation change

Creator:: Morris, Christo, Badik, Kevin J., Morris, Lesley R., and Weltz, Mark A.
Abstract:: Determining the causes of vegetation change in arid and semi-arid environments can be difficult and may involve multiple factors, including disturbance, inter-annual climatic variation, soils, effects from years past and interactions between these factors. Theoretical models describing vegetation change in these systems have generally focused on a single aspect as...
