Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:: Porter, Aaron K.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

Feasibility Study of a Thermal Spectrum Thorium Breeder Reactor Without Chemical Reprocessing

Creator:: Keppen, Jackson D.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a feasibility study of a thorium fueled thermal spectrum breeder-burner reactor that operates without chemical reprocessing. Materials were evaluated for their potential as moderators using standard analytical methods. These materials were then used as moderators to evaluate criticality and enrichment in an infinite fuel pin lattice. The...

Domestic Well Aquifer Storage Using Seasonal Springs

Creator:: Robinson, Julianne E.
Abstract:: In the face of increasing demand for and reduced supplies of water, methods to augment water supply and storage capacity are becoming increasingly important. In some areas, this has taken the form of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), which involves injecting water into a well during a time of water...

The Incorporation of Novel Water-Soluble Potato Protein Extract in Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) Fillets Through Brine Injection Technology to Improve Quality

Creator:: Pasewark, George D.
Abstract:: Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is one of the most abundant fisheries on the American west coast. However, these fish are historically underutilized due to quality issues resulting from fillet softening that occurs as a result of both endogenous and exogenous (Myxosporidian parasite infection) cathepsin protease action during either storage (cathepsin...

Examining the Contribution of Self-Regulation and Executive Function Skills to School Readiness and Longer-Term Achievement Gaps: A Replication and Extension in Statewide and National Datasets

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation in early childhood encompasses higher-order executive function processes and lower-order emotional responses that enable children to navigate the classroom environment. Although self-regulation and executive functions are overlapping constructs, self-regulation represents a broad assessment of children’s ability to call upon executive function processes in order to meet contextual demands. Prior...

Isolation and Pathogenicity of Naturally Occurring Entomopathogenic Fungi to Clover Root Borer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), a Pest of Red Clover Seed Crops

Creator:: Lestari, Anis S.
Abstract:: Entomopathogenic fungi are cosmopolitan microbial pathogens that cause fungous diseases in a wide range of insects via spore infection. Due to their natural enemy status, they have tremendous potential for use as microbial control agents against insect pests, especially subterranean pests for which few management options are available. The clover...

Managing Microdochium Patch Using Non-Traditional Fungicides on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens

Creator:: Mattox, Clint M.
Abstract:: Currently, fungicide applications are the predominant method of control for the cool weather pathogen Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale). Increasing pesticide restrictions have generated concern regarding management of Microdochium patch. Three separate field trials exploring non-traditional fungicides were conducted between 2013 and 2015 on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) sand-based...

Proof of concept of the use of RAVEN and RELAP5-3D for risk informed safety margin characterization

Creator:: Riley, Thomas H.
Abstract:: This project was a proof of concept of the use of the RAVEN software, a tool developed for the Risk Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) approach, with RELAP5-3D. This novel approach combines older probabilistic and mechanistic approaches to look at how and why the complex systems of a nuclear power...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:: D'Elia, Jesse
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...
