Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

Creator:: García-Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

Wave runup : Physics, variability, and societal impacts

Creator:: García Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: The U.S. Pacific Northwest is home to one of the most extreme wave climates in the world with waves of 10 m in height arriving to the coast approximately each year. With an average water temperature of 12℃, the beaches in the region are too cold to go on a...

Munition Mobility in Mixed Grain (Sand and Cobble) Environments

Creator:: Paskoski, Jessica
Abstract:: Nearly 24% of Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) containing military munitions are in the nearshore coastal zone with approximately 30% of those sites containing heterogeneous sediment compositions of gravel-sand. Previous exploration in munition mobility was performed on beaches of sandy or muddy bottoms leaving the influence of heterogeneous sediment properties...

Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

Diseases of Rhododendron and Boxwood: Survey and Virulence of Phytophthora Root Rot and Management of Boxwood Blight with Systemic Fungicides

Creator:: Sacher, Gabriel
Abstract:: Diseases can be a substantial threat to woody plant production, a major industry in Oregon. Boxwood (Buxus spp.) and rhododendron (Rhododendron subgenus Rhododendron and Hymenanthes) represent the top two broadleaf evergreen woody plants by farmgate value in Oregon. Historically, Phytophthora root rot has been considered the most destructive disease of...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:: Garcia, Carlos Manalo
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

Power Output Calculations for an Array of Point-absorber Wave Energy Converters

Creator:: García-Castaño, Manuel
Abstract:: This study presents a methodology for power take off (PTO) forecasting for an array of heave wave energy converters (WECs). Based on spectral data obtained directly from the National Data Buoy Center, representative realistic sea states are generated at the location of the WECs, and by using two wave-structure interaction...

Effects of Aquatic Resource Subsidies on the Ecology of Terrestrial Top Predators

Creator:: Eriksson, Charlotte E.
Abstract:: Energetic resources transferred between distinct habitats or ecosystems, referred to as allochthonous resources, can greatly subsidize consumers in the recipient habitat, and thus influence food web structure and dynamics. Such subsidies may allow the growth of the consumer population to be decoupled from in situ productivity with effects on consumer...

Does eddy-eddy interaction control surface phytoplankton distribution and carbon export in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre?

Creator:: Guidi, Lionel, Calil, Paulo H. R., Duhamel, Solange, Bjoerkman, Karin M., Doney, Scott C., Jackson, George A., Li, Binglin, Church, Matthew J., Tozzi, Sasha, Kolber, Zbigniew S., Richards, Kelvin J., Fong, Allison A., Letelier, Ricardo M., Gorsky, Gabriel, Stemmann, Lars, and Karl, David M.
Abstract:: In the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), the regular occurrence of summer phytoplankton blooms contributes to marine ecosystem productivity and the annual carbon export. The mechanisms underlying the formation, maintenance, and decay of these blooms remain largely unknown; nitrogen fixation, episodic vertical mixing of nutrients, and meso- (<100 km) and...

Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

Creator:: Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
Abstract:: Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...
