Monitoring Restoration in South Sister Creek : The Effect of Stream Enhancement Structures on Water Temperature

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra Greer
Abstract:: This pilot study of South Sister Creek (8 km length) examined stream-scale (i.e., longitudinal trends) and sub-reach scale (less than 100 m) water temperature. Hourly summer temperature time-series data were gathered at four to seven locations along South Sister Creek in 2006, 2012, and 2013 and were used to explore...

A Bayesian network for prioritizing restoration of aquatic connectivity

Creator:: Andersen, Eric J.
Abstract:: Re-establishing connectivity is a primary restoration activity for enhancing the recovery of migratory fishes, but actions are often limited by lack of funds and understanding of the benefits of individual projects. The objective of this study was to develop a Bayesian Network (BN) to assess priorities for restoration of aquatic...

Introducing the Concept of Foundational Attributes and Project Metabolism to Assess Construction Project Similarity

Creator:: Zhang, Fan
Abstract:: A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...

Evaluating "nuisance" beaver relocation as a tool to increase coho salmon habitat in the Alsea Basin of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Petro, Vanessa M.
Abstract:: Many stakeholders involved with stream restoration in the Pacific Northwest have discussed the potential benefits of using beaver dam construction activities (Castor canadensis) as a management tool to improve degraded stream habitat for anadromous salmon species. In addition, there has been growing interest in using nuisance beavers, primarily controlled by...

Exploring the relationship between engineering design project characteristics and risk indicators

Creator:: Yim, Rachel L.
Abstract:: Engineering design projects are implemented to accomplish a variety of goals in organizations. As the complexity of each project grows, the risk and uncertainty accompanying each project increases as well. As a result project managers must identify potential risks to projects and create plans to avoid realized risks leading to...

Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

Creator:: Kramer, Anthonie
Abstract:: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

Analysis of best management practices in the Columbia River Channel Improvement Project (CRCIP)

Creator:: Ridwan, Denni
Abstract:: The Columbia River Channel Improvement Project (CRCIP) was constructed along 166.6 km (103.5 miles) of Columbia River (from River Mile 3 to 106.5), which was from Interstate 5 Bridge (between Portland and Vancouver) to the river mouth, before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. It deepened the river by 0.9 m...

Evaluation of a Habitat Suitability Model to predict the geospatial distribution of Olympia oyster presence in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Bohlen, Victoria L.
Abstract:: A massive reduction in historic populations of Olympia oysters (Ostrea lurida), the only native oyster found on the west coast of North America, has contributed to a loss of ecosystem and cultural services once provided by this species. Resource management agencies and environmental organizations are working to protect and enhance...

Divergent Paths to Health: A Comparative Study of the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid Expansion in California and Non-Expansion in Texas Through the Lens of Policy Diffusion

Creator:: Aguigam, Lyric T.
Abstract:: The enactment of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 marked a critical moment in American healthcare history. The ACA introduced Medicaid expansion, a policy designed to extend healthcare coverage to a larger population of low-income Americans. This policy quickly became a topic of debate and led to...

The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds : biennial report 2003-2005 : volume 2

Creator:: Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board
Abstract:: The 2003-2005 Biennial Report Volume 2 is an executive summary of Oregon's assessment of the Oregon Coastal Coho Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). The assessment provides a detailed analysis that will inform the pending federal decision on whether to list coho as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. Sections of Volume...
