Molded Fiber Bottle Coatings for Environmental Resistance and Sustainability

Creator:: Sim, Elaine
Abstract:: In recent years, non-renewable and non-biodegradable plastic packaging forms the majority of landfilled waste. These products, mainly made from Polyethylene Tetraphlatate (PET) and other polyolefins, have excellent durability and barrier properties, but take hundreds of years to degrade. Much focus has been put on developing environmentally friendly alternatives to polyolefins...

A Comparative Analysis of Literature Search Results for Chinook Restoration Project Evaluation Between 2012 and 2022 Western Pacific Studies in California, Oregon, and Washington

Creator:: Clark, Erica Jennifer
Abstract:: Pacific salmon are an integral part of ecosystems, industry, culture, and food source. Rapid declines and extirpation in many populations and species have caught the interest of environmentalists, scientists, recreational anglers, commercial fishers, general public, and economists. Billions of dollars have been spent to restore, return, improve, sustain dwindling populations...

Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

Creator:: Walker, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

From work-first to learn first : navigating educational choices among TANF recipients through the lens of possible selves and stigma

Creator:: Jones, Terese D.
Abstract:: Individuals who are parents and students on TANF experience challenges accessing and persisting in higher education. This study explored the experiences of TANF recipients who are navigating a return to higher education and the impact of college on how they construct a future self. Two theoretical frameworks were used to...

Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

Creator:: Fleiger-Holmes, Kahlan
Abstract:: Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable forms of energy in the United States and the world. However, interactions between wind turbines and wildlife have the possibility to injure animals such as birds and bats. Strategies to assess and minimize wind turbine interactions with wildlife are critical for...

Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

Creator:: Dickey, Jacob C.
Abstract:: Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

Conceptual learning gains for face-to-face and asynchronous online course modalities in introduction to materials science

Creator:: Nigon, Nutnicha, Simionescu, Dana, Ekstedt, Thomas W., Koretsky, Milo D., and Tucker, Julie D.
Abstract:: Different educational modalities can affect students in learning challenging engineering concepts. Studies that specifically measure students’ conceptual learning gains have been conducted in face-to-face (F2F) and online modalities, but few direct comparisons have been reported. In this study, we collected data from undergraduate students enrolled in introductory materials science courses...

Master Negotiators and Creative Problem Solvers: A Survey of South African Women & Water-Use Case Studies

Creator:: Kirwan, Christina E. M.
Abstract:: Through a desk-top analysis, this research shows that South African women have gained and utilize specialized skills, behaviors, and adaptations through their daily activities which are useful when applied to water resource management. Further, South African women are shown to build and draw on social capital as a way to...

Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Status of the European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas, (aka 5-spine crab) in Oregon Estuaries. Report for 2023

Creator:: Yamada, Sylvia Behrens, Royer, Cameron, Schooler, Shon, Randall, Andrea, and Fisher, Jennifer
Abstract:: The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has persisted in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990s. A strong year class arrived during the 1998 El Niño, but numbers decreased and remained below 1 per trap per day until the arrival of the 2015-2016 El Niño. Since then, numbers...
