Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

Testing and modeling of the single-phase Written-Pole Motor

Creator:: Chis, Lucian
Abstract:: A relatively new development in the electric machines field has been the written-pole technology, of which the latest product is the large single-phase electric motor, the single phase Written-Pole Motor (WPM). The WPM is a synchronous, permanent-magnet single-phase motor having a weak rotor cage for start-up which in addition exhibits...

Analysis and comparison of essential oil components extracted from the heartwoods of Leyland cypress, Alaska yellow cedar, and Monterey cypress

Creator:: Liu, Xinfeng
Abstract:: The essential oil components of cedar heartwoods play an important role in the durability of these trees. Yet, the composition of these oils and identity of many of the compounds remains unknown, or incompletely know for some commercially important cedar heartwoods. The essential oil extracts of Alaska Yellow Cedar (Chamaecyparis...

Markets and Competition in Private and Public Campground Sectors of Oregon : Implications from Oregon Campground Inventories and the 1997 Campground Questionnaire

Creator:: Newton, Lydia
Abstract:: This study explores private and public campground markets in Oregon. A profile of private and public campgrounds, their prices, location, and amenities, served as the supply side statistics while responses from the 1997 Campground Questionnaire provided data for demand of Oregon campgrounds. The questionnaire inquired about respondents' last camping trip...

Passively controlled variable-speed generator system

Creator:: Bathon, Tobias Siegfried
Abstract:: This thesis presents both an analysis and simulations of a passively controlled variable-speed generator system, which can be applied for renewable energy sources such as wind turbines. Parallel connected passive/external resistors and inductors are connected to the slip rings of a wound rotor induction machine to provide an acceptable speed...

Computerised dynamic control of an ac dynamometer

Creator:: Rodrigues, Terence Keith
Abstract:: The Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF) at Oregon State University presently conducts a variety of steady state tests on Motors and Generators, with ratings of upto 300Hp.(225kW), using a dynamometer. The dynamometer consists of an induction motor fed by a power electronic converter. A control computer uses a serial link,...

Evaluation of the colonization and biofilm production by Burkholderia pyroccinia FP62 on geranium leaves

Creator:: Wallace, Patricia K.
Abstract:: The leaf surface is a stark environment for bacterial colonists with limited availability of nutrients, water and protected niches. Despite these limitations, a plethora of bacteria appear to have adapted ways to survive and flourish on leaf surfaces. One mechanism of survival is the formation of biofilms. Biofilms are a...
