"I've lived on these streets, and these streets aren't pretty" : The Life Stories of Corvallis Homeless Women

Creator:: Koch, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: Over two million people experience homelessness in the United States, but homeless people are often marginalized by invisibility and stigmas surrounding poverty within their local communities. This research seeks to amplify the voices of Corvallis area homeless women as a means to understand their everyday lived experiences. Six women residing...

A food web analysis of a Mojave Desert geothermal spring system and feeding ecology of Moapa dace (Moapa coriacea)

Creator:: StSaviour, Adam
Abstract:: Understanding food webs is fundamental in conserving endangered species and maintaining healthy ecosystem function, particularly in desert spring systems. We identified dominant energy sources in the Muddy River Warm Springs area, Clark County, NV using carbon and nitrogen natural abundance stable isotope analyses. We examined isotopic signatures of specific macroinvertebrate...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: N signatures as a function of distance in meters from their primary source

A land application treatment strategy for landfill leachate and water reclamation

Creator:: White, Steven G.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of removing organic carbon and inorganic nitrogen contaminants, and metals from the leachate prior to any land application. New guidelines are needed to ensure the environment and our health is not put at risk. The cost of installation, operation and...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...

A Review and Toxicological Evaluation of an Environmentally-Friendly Alternative to Silver Nanoparticles

Creator:: Nix, Cassandra E.
Abstract:: Within the past two decades, the rise of nanotechnology has provided various technological and industrial sectors with avenues for significant growth and improvements to existing practices. With the inherent qualities which make materials on the nanoscale unique in behavior and function, there are limitless applications of nanotechnology. One of the...

Accumulation and effects of 4-nonylphenol in chinook salmon fry and their estuarine amphipod prey

Creator:: Hecht, Scott A.
Abstract:: 4-nonylphenol (NP), a surfactant degradation product, is an unregulated, ubiquitous aquatic contaminant and endocrine disruptor, for which aquatic life criteria are currently under development by U.S. EPA. The effects of NP on estuarine amphipods and chinook salmon fry were investigated, and this dissertation reports research into the impacts of NP...

Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

Creator:: Stine, Jared
Abstract:: Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: measurements for each polymer type (n=5), with standard error bars to show the variability of deformation

An Analysis of Nutrient Depletion in Douglas-fir Forests of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Siah, Kaveh G.
Abstract:: Nutrient limitation constrains tree growth in many managed forests. Nitrogen (N) is the most common limiting nutrient, but high N supply can shift limitation to other nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) and the base cations calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). As different soil minerals have different capacities to supply...

An Enthnobotanical Analysis of Basketry

Creator:: Fluharty, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: The focus of my thesis is ethnobotany which seeks to examine botanical resources and their context within particular cultures. My ethnographic research identifies and interprets the cultural processes woven into Oregon's coastal basketry through spirituality, environmental habitats, and utilized plant species. This is augmented with botanical research addressing the question...

Analysis of secondary structures in nucleic acid binding proteins and nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of helix propagation and residual motions in proteins

Creator:: Hicks, Joshua M.
Abstract:: This thesis involves analyses of 3₂-helices, a-helices and of the change in residual entropy of a protein upon chemical modification. Part of the long-term goal of understanding the formation, function and stability of proteins requires that all conformations be accurately assigned and structurally understood. By a statistical analysis of 258...
