  • Improving the nutritional and textural properties of dairy products by feeding Holstein cows processed flaxseed

    Creator:
    Oeffner, Scott P.
    Abstract:
    There is growing public concern about the high proportion of saturated fatty acids in milk fat; however, feed intake, energy partitioning toward milk synthesis, and milk fat concentrations can decrease when cows are fed high concentrations of unsaturated lipids. The objective of this study was to identify the optimal rate...

  • Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

    Creator:
    Calvanese, Thomas P.
    Abstract:
    The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

  • Learning Topical Social Media Sensors for Twitter

    Creator:
    Iman, Zahra
    Abstract:
    Social media sources such as Twitter represent a massively distributed social sensor over diverse topics ranging from social and political events to entertainment and sports news. However, due to the overwhelming volume of content, it can be difficult to identify novel and significant content within a broad topic in a...

  • The identification and division of Steve Jobs

    Creator:
    Anderson, Scott M. (Scott Matthew)
    Abstract:
    On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction...

  • Numerical response of concrete-lined tunnels crossing active faults

    Creator:
    Lange, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    A challenge for municipal authorities of growing urban areas is to provide larger and faster transportation and utility networks that are safe and resilient to significant disruptions after an earthquake event and other disasters. Urban regions, like the San Francisco Bay or the Los Angeles area, are situated in seismically...

  • Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

    Creator:
    Kumari, Pooja
    Abstract:
    Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...

  • Finite element modeling of gusset plate failure using OpenSees

    Creator:
    Walker, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

  • How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

    Creator:
    Avila, Alexandra M.
    Abstract:
    Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...

  • Response Sensitivity Formulations for Geometrically Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

    Creator:
    Al-Aukaily, Alabbas
    Abstract:
    Significant amounts of uncertainty owing to both modeling decisions and inherent randomness are present in simulating the material and geometric nonlinear response of structural systems to extreme loading. Computing the sensitivity of structural response with respect to model parameters indicates which parameters have the largest affect on the response, which...

  • The Impact of Correctional Therapeutic Communities on Recidivism: A Meta-Analysis

    Creator:
    Booker, Meredith
    Abstract:
    At any given time, 60% to 85% of prisoners across the United States are struggling with substance addiction and dependence. Upon release, about two-thirds of former prisoners will reoffend and return to prison. Due to the high rate of substance use and abuse in prisons, drug treatment, specifically Correctional Therapeutic...
