  • Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Detection of Native Lampreys in Central Valley California: A Starting Point

    Creator:
    Parker, Christina M.
    Abstract:
    Native lamprey species in the Central Valley of California serve important ecological roles in rivers and tributaries and face similar conservation challenges as salmonids. Concerns of declining lamprey populations have led to collaboration of tribes, local, state, and federal agencies to increase understanding of ecology and life history. Pacific Lamprey...

  • Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Duncan, Corinne M.
    Abstract:
    Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • Sound and death in John Haines's poetry

    Creator:
    Noble, Darren L.
    Abstract:
    Poet John Haines is best known for his first book of poetry, Winter News, which was published in 1966. The book contains poems about the Alaskan landscape that surrounded Haines during his many years of living in Richardson, Alaska. The recurring motifs in his poems include hunting, trapping, the Arctic...

  • The influence of climate change and restoration on stream temperature

    Creator:
    Diabat, Mousa
    Abstract:
    Water temperature is an essential property of a stream. Temperature regulates physical and biochemical processes in aquatic habitats. Various factors related to climatic conditions, landscape characteristics, and channel structure directly influence stream temperature. Numerous studies indicate that increased average air temperature during the past century has led to stream warming...

  • Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Archer, Pamela Emily
    Abstract:
    Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

  • Numerical Modeling of Mass Timber Connections

    Creator:
    Hollenbeck, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a prefabricated building material that is relatively new to the United States and North America. It consists of no less than three layers of graded, dimensional lumber glued in alternating longitudinal and transverse layers to create a panel that can be used for various building applications...

  • Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

    Creator:
    Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
    Abstract:
    Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...

  • Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

    Creator:
    Lewis, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...
