  • Income changes & labor force participation

    Creator:
    Sorenson, Gary W.
    Abstract:
    This monograph is focused around the controversy in the eco­nomic literature regarding the effects of income changes on labor force participation. In particular, this controversy arises from the opposing hypotheses: the "additional worker" and the "discour­aged worker." Each hypothesis predicts different behavior in response to falling income or rising unemployment....

  • Predicting the Relationships between High School Characteristics and High School Community College Enrollment Rate Using the Oregon Promise.

    Creator:
    Murray-Jensen, Julie
    Abstract:
    Background: Legislators, policy-makers, and leaders in higher education and within communities, are increasingly turning to place-based scholarships, or “promise programs”, to encourage college enrollment and address growing public concerns regarding college affordability. One such program, the Oregon Promise, was implemented across the state of Oregon in the fall of 2016....

  • A study of factors affecting the extraction of flavor when dry hopping beer

    Creator:
    Wolfe, Peter Harold
    Abstract:
    This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second. The first study measured the concentrations...

  • Modeling and application of multispectral oceanic sun glint observations

    Creator:
    Luderer, Gunnar
    Abstract:
    The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...

  • Trinexapac-ethyl and open-field burning in creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) seed production in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Zapiola, Maria Luz
    Abstract:
    Open-field burning has been an effective, economical, and widespread method of post-harvest residue management in creeping red fescue seed production in the Willamette Valley since the late 1940s. However, the use of field burning has been legislatively restricted due to air quality and safety issues. The foliar-applied plant growth regulator...

  • Residue management and yield characteristics of fine fescue seed crops

    Creator:
    Schumacher, Derek David
    Abstract:
    Chewings fescue [Festuca rubra L. subsp. fallax (Thuill.) Nyman] is a desired turfgrass with dense sod forming capabilities and superior shade tolerance. Thermal residue management (open-field burning) has traditionally been used to remove post-harvest residue and maintain seed yield over the life of the stand. However, alternative non-thermal residue management...

  • Creating, Understanding and Applying Machine Learning Models of Multiple Species

    Creator:
    Griffioen, Arwen Twinkle E.
    Abstract:
    Many problems in ecology and conservation biology can be formulated and solved using machine learning algorithms for multi-label classification. This dissertation addresses three topics related to predicting the distributions of multiple species. It improves existing methods and proposes a new modeling paradigm to address the multi-species, multi-label problem. The first...

  • Bitterness modifying properties of hop polyphenols

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    This study examined whether polyphenols contribute a harsh bitterness to beer, and how polyphenols may otherwise modify beer bitterness in the presence of iso-a-acids. The experimental portions of this project were divided into effectively two segments. The first section of the study encompassed groundwork polyphenol extraction development, and the examination...

    Renne, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    Teachers may be attracted to the use of a game in a learning activity under the presumption that students will find the game experience to be more “fun” than typical classroom activities. The use of a game in a learning activity should help students attain important learning outcomes and engage...
