Economics of drought preparedness and response in irrigated agriculture

Creator:: Peck, Dannele E.
Abstract:: The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...

Insights into Centennial-Scale Salt Marsh Morphodynamics from the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Peck, Erin K.
Abstract:: Quantification and comparison of morphological changes over the last ~300 y in Oregon salt marshes provide valuable insights into the tectonic, hydroclimatic, and anthropogenic processes shaping this important intertidal zone. Understanding of the rates and drivers of salt marsh change contextualizes intertidal habitats within the sediment routing system (i.e., source...

Factors Influencing Streamflow Generation Processes in Rain-dominated, Coastal Watersheds in Oregon

Creator:: Pazdral, Rosemary
Abstract:: Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...

The role of body size in the foraging strategies and management of avian herbivores : a comparison of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and cackling geese (B. hutchinsii minima) wintering in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mini, Anne E.
Abstract:: Body size explains much of the interspecific variation in the physiology, behavior, and morphology of birds, such as metabolic rate, diet selection, intake rate, gut size, and bill size. Based on mass-specific metabolic requirements and relative energetic costs of activities, being a certain body size has both advantages and disadvantages....

Childhood cancer and spatial analyses of benzene exposure in Texas

Creator:: Roberts, Mark T.
Abstract:: Childhood cancers are rare diseases that affect 188 children in Texas for every million born. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for roughly one third of childhood cancer cases. However, it is estimated that only 10% of childhood cancer cases can be explained by known risk factors....

Addressing Persistent Challenges in Nanotoxicology Exposures : Techniques for in situ Characterization

Creator:: Crandon, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles (NPs), defined by their size (1-100 nm), are increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area and unique properties. They can be designed for specific applications by manipulating composition, size, shape, and surface functionalization. As NP production and complexity increases, there is a need...

Perceptions of community hospital physicians on computerized physician order entry

Creator:: Churchill, Brian E.
Abstract:: Objectives: To identify the perceptions of community hospital physicians on computerized physician order entry. Design: Multi-method approach consisting of a mail survey of 659 community hospital physicians with active admitting privileges at three PeaceHealth, Inc., along with follow-up personal interviews with stratified random selection from completed survey. Measurements: Perceptions were...

The Effects of the Flow Regime on Stream Channel Form and Processes

Creator:: Hempel, Laura A.
Abstract:: Numerous studies have explored how alluvial channel size and morphology are adjusted to different sediment and flow conditions, yet we still know very little about how and to what degree the flow regime controls channel form and processes. We use the term ‘channel form’ to refer to the size and...

Predictors of Family-Teacher Relationship Quality in Early Care and Education: Type of ECE Program, Family Socioeconomic Status and Adverse Childhood Experiences

Creator:: Lewis, Hillary R.
Abstract:: Families and early care and education (ECE) programs are two important contexts in which young children develop (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). Nearly half of all preschoolers are cared for in nonrelative care (e.g. child care center, preschool, Head Start, teacher’s home; Laughlin, 2013), and ECE programs have the potential to...

Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

Creator:: Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
Abstract:: Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...
