GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

Creator:: Dutille, Victoria L.
Abstract:: Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...

A rapid survey method for native blue mud shrimp (Upogebia pugettensis) and its associated parasitic isopod, Orthione griffenis, in Alsea Bay, Oregon and alternative applications of this methodology

Creator:: Carter, Cameron S.
Abstract:: Declines or extinctions of the native intertidal estuary blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, have been observed or are suspected in all of its populations over the species’ range. These declines are associated with the introduced Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, which effectively castrates females. Baseline estimates of population abundances...

Challenges to Gray Wolf Recovery in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California

Creator:: Kriz, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) are the most socially polarizing species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Wildlife management practices at local, state, and federal levels include lethal control to resolve stakeholder and wolf conflicts as a last resort. There is little experimental evidence that lethal control is effective in this...

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...

Design of Experiments to Support Automated Assembly Planning

Creator:: Liu, Yue
Abstract:: Assembly time estimation is a key factor in evaluating the performance of the assembly process in an automated assembly process. The overall goal of this study is to develop an efficient assembly time estimation method by generating the prediction model from an experimental design. In order to estimate these times,...

Modeling the Environmental Protection Agency's level IV ecoregions within the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California

Creator:: Zanger, Christopher
Abstract:: Ecoregions are regions of relative homogeneity with respect to specific ecosystem variables (Bailey 1976; Omernik 1995). There has been an increasing awareness that effective management of environmental resources must be undertaken with an ecosystem perspective (Omernik, 1995). Ecoregions serve as a spatial framework for assessing, managing, and monitoring ecosystems that...

Aerial forest operations : mineral amendment project

Creator:: Cornell, Jennie L.
Abstract:: A helicopter operations problem was studied for a private forest landowner testing an experimental application of minerals on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesil) in the Coast Range of Oregon to offset growth reductions from Swiss needle cast disease. A planning approach was needed to minimize costs for transportation and aerial application of...

Managing Douglas-fir Mortality: Case Studies from Western Oregon

Creator:: Campbell, Lewis
Abstract:: An increase in frequency and severity of hot, dry summers has been associated with a dramatic shift in the coniferous forests of western Oregon’s valleys, especially on the privately-owned properties along the low-elevation edges of these valleys. Various conifer species, including Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), are declining in these forests, leaving...

The economic effects of 2018 U.S. Steel Tariffs: An Application of Event Study Methodology

Creator:: Abbas, Qammar
Abstract:: In this essay I investigate the effect of United States March 2018 steel tariffs on producers’ capital. I use intertemporal event study methodology to appraise the effect of announcement of the tariffs on March 01, 2018 on the stock returns of major US steel companies listed at New York Stock...

Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

Creator:: Brown, Tovey M.
Abstract:: Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...
