Tragedy at Sandy Hook and the National Rifle Association's Propaganda Response

Creator:: Gundlach, Andrew
Abstract:: This research examines the response from the National Rifle Association (NRA) to the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Specifically, the research seeks to conclude whether the NRA engaged in propaganda, and if so, what the ethical implications of such use are. Using literature from...

Surface water variation and water storage potential in Upper Klamath Basin, 2000-2012

Creator:: Tanner, Andrew M.
Abstract:: With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...

Trends in streamflow above and below dams across the Columbia River basin from 1950 to 2012 : assessing sub-basin sensitivity

Creator:: Hammond, John C.
Abstract:: Climate change, combined with population growth, is expected to exacerbate water scarcity globally. In the Columbia River basin (CRB), streamflow is managed for multiple objectives with a network of dams and reservoirs distributed throughout the basin that may mitigate climate change effects on water scarcity. This study quantified trends in...

Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

Laboratory investigation of dune erosion using stereo video

Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L. and Holman, Robert A.
Abstract:: Simple parameterizations of dune erosion are necessary for forecasting erosion potential prior to an oncoming storm. Dune erosion may be parameterized in terms of the elevation of the total water level (composed of surge, tide, and wave runup) above the dune base and period of exposure of the dune to...

Landsat-based monitoring of annual wetland change in the main-stem Willamette River floodplain of Oregon, USA from 1972 to 2012

Creator:: Fickas, Kate C.
Abstract:: Despite holding substantial ecological value, wetlands in the United States have experienced a significant decline in both area and function over the past century with the majority of freshwater wetland loss attributed to agricultural conversion. Agriculture is the second largest industry in the State of Oregon and the State places...

Framing Engineering for Women in Undergraduate Recruitment

Creator:: Schmunk, Kristina
Abstract:: Women are highly-underrepresented in undergraduate engineering majors, making up just over 15% of students in engineering and computer science at Oregon State University. High school girls' interest in pursuing engineering in college is affected by the way language frames engineering careers. The status-quo engineering frame is made up of terms...

A Study on Graphics Quality in Smartphone Games

Creator:: Glenn, Shady E.
Abstract:: As of February 2012, approximately 46% of American adults own a smartphone. The graphics quality of these devices gets better each year. However, they still have many more limitations in graphics processing and storage space than desktop computers. This means that applications on these devices should focus on optimizing their...

Viscous Effects of Wetting and Non-Wetting Fluids on Capillary Trapping Mechanism: A Climate Change Mitigation Strategy.

Creator:: Fobi, Simone
Abstract:: Rising CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere (396 ppmv as of April 2012) increase the effect of global warming and climate change. CO₂ sequestration has become a potential method to mitigate climate change. This study focuses on capillary/residual trapping as a form of geologic CO₂ sequestration. Capillary/residual trapping occurs when supercritical...

Student Motivation, Introductory Calculus Based Physics (PH 211) and Project Based Learning, Oh My!

Creator:: Settelmeyer, Samuel T.
Abstract:: Using research on student motivation as well as Project-Based Learning as a theoretical framework, this thesis outlines the creation process for a set of curricula. These curricula were designed to address topics of markedly low student motivation in the first term of an introductory physics with calculus course (PH 211)...
