Methodology for evaluating mechanical power in small-scale WEC experiments

Creator:: Simmons, Asher
Abstract:: Wave energy converters (WECs) are a broad class of emerging technology that converts hydrokinetic energy into some other useful form, such as electricity. The last stage in this transformation, the power take-off (PTO) subsystem, is often not experimentally evaluated until half-way through the recommended development process. This delay in evaluation...

Tropical Fruit Aroma: Relevance to Oregon White Wines, the Effect of Winemaking Processes on Fermentation Esters and Volatile Thiol Levels, and the Relationship Between Sensory Perception and Volatile Chemistry

Creator:: Iobbi, Angelica
Abstract:: Aroma is one of the major components that determines the quality of wine and consumer acceptability. Fruitiness is a highly desirable aroma quality in white wines and has been well accepted by consumers across the globe. Tropical fruit aroma has been substantially studied in Sauvignon Blanc wines due to its...

Lipid Profile in Pinot Noir Wine: Contributions to Taste and Mouthfeel Perception, Impacts of Winemaking Techniques, and Potential Use As Markers for Identifying Wine Origin

Creator:: Phan, Quynh K.
Abstract:: Wine taste and mouthfeel are essential factors that determine consumer acceptance, consumer preference, and wine quality. The three taste descriptors, sweet, sour, and bitter, are well understood and routinely appearing in wine sensory. In contrast, information related to mouthfeel sensations is still relatively limited. Winemakers have worked hard to craft...

Students' Understanding of Discrete and Continuous Systems in Quantum Mechanics and Computation's Supporting Role

Creator:: Solorio, Christian D.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics is increasingly being taught with a spins-first approach where instructors use simple spin systems to introduce the principles of quantum mechanics rather than systems with wavefunctions. One of the defining characteristics of a spins-first approach is that systems studied have discrete bases, whereas systems with wavefunctions have continuous...

Free Monoterpene Isomer Profiles in White Wine : Effect of Grape Variety, Region and Style and Impact on Odor Perception

Creator:: Song, Mei
Abstract:: Monoterpenes are important volatile compounds to the aroma of many white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and found in wine as different isomers. These isomers (also known as enantiomers) are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, maintain the same molecular structure and in many instances possess different sensory characteristics. Much...

Sensemaking Throughout the Physics Curriculum: Understanding Expert and Student Ideas About Sensemaking in a Physics Context

Creator:: Lenz, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...

Supporting Learning and Thinking with Multiple Representations in Upper Division Physics Courses

Creator:: Alfson, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: Physicists solve problems and communicate their work using many external representations, such as equations, words, diagrams, graphs, sketches, pictures, and more. To learn physics, then, students must learn to use external representations. In this dissertation, I present three manuscripts. Each manuscript discusses how upper-division Paradigms in Physics students use multiple...

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys Taint in Wine : Impact on Wine Sensory, Effect of Wine-processing and Management Techniques

Creator:: Mohekar, Pallavi
Abstract:: Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), (Halyomorpha halys, Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive species that damages numerous agricultural crops including grapes. Related damage include lower berry weight with increased exposure and cracked berries as a result of BMSB feeding activity. The insect is currently detected in 43 US states including Oregon,...

The effects of community composition, landscape structure, and climate on host-pathogen interactions

Creator:: Moore, Sean M.
Abstract:: Like other species interactions in ecological systems, host-pathogen interactions are influenced by environmental factors, landscape characteristics and the broader community context. My thesis explores the potential influences of food-web interactions (Chapter 2), climate change (Chapter 3), landscape structure and host movement patterns (Chapter 4), and the combined influences of local...

Carnivore Competition: Spatial and Dietary Implications of Gray Wolf Recolonization for Cougars in Northeast Oregon

Creator:: Orning, Elizabeth Kari
Abstract:: After a 40-year absence from Oregon’s landscape, expanding gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations are reestablishing elements of interspecific competition with sympatric large carnivores, like cougars (Puma concolor). This presents new challenges for management of large carnivores and their ungulate prey populations (e.g., elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus)...
