  • Morphology, Sediment Microbial Analysis, and Species Distribution Modeling of a New Offshore Population of Ghost Shrimp (Neotrypaea sp.)

    Creator:
    Hardisty, Sarah
    Abstract:
    In 2019, a multi-cohort population of the typically estuarine burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea sp., was discovered approximately 7 miles offshore of Newport, Oregon. Morphological analysis of the offshore population, microbial sediment sequencing, and species distribution modeling was conducted with this new offshore population. In order to identify Neotrypaea sp. to the...

  • Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Kopper, Neil H.
    Abstract:
    Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

  • Biocuration of rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor networks involved in abiotic stress response

    Creator:
    El-Husseini, Sarah
    Abstract:
    Rice (Oryza sativa) is a common crop found in various regions worldwide where it is considered a staple food. Though widespread, O. sativa plants' growth, development, and yield are affected by environmental/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, etc. Particularly, salinity stress leads to dehydration, overwhelms potassium pumps, and...

  • Beyond high hopes : educational attainment among children of immigrants

    Creator:
    Feeney, Sarah L.
    Abstract:
    In light of broadening racial/ethnic educational attainment gaps, growing diversity within young populations, and the increasingly critical relationship between higher education and outcomes in adulthood, understanding the factors that shape educational attainment is an especially important task for research. With this goal in mind, the current study examined how national...

  • From Micro to Macro: Insights into Biogeochemical Mechanisms that Shape Marine Systems

    Creator:
    Seabrook, Sarah
    Abstract:
    Biogeochemical mechanisms employed by key organisms, or symbiotic associations of organisms, transform the function and structure of their environment through processes recognized as ecosystem engineering. This dissertation seeks to investigate organism-ecosystem interactions that serve globally significant ecological functions in marine systems and impact how systems respond to environmental change. Using...

  • Development and validation of a fatigue reliability method for bridging materials

    Creator:
    Gallops, Sarah
    Abstract:
    Toughened ceramics, or bridging ceramics, are being developed in an attempt to widen the application base of traditional ceramics, which are brittle and have low resistance to crack extension. The crack growth resistance of these extrinsically toughened ceramics has been shown to increase with crack length, and unlike traditional ceramics,...
