  • Developing Tools to Utilize the Oregon State University Woody Plant Collection and Establish a Campus Arboretum

    Creator:
    Blanchard, William D.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University campus grounds have long been admired for their beauty and the diversity of over 65,000 individual woody plants that grace the 570 acres of campus. The woody plant collection has provided a living learning laboratory for the university and surrounding community for decades. The campus grounds include...

  • Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

    Creator:
    Gomez, R. Antonio
    Abstract:
    Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

  • Weevils That Live Under Trees Thrown Out of the Sea: Phylogeny and Microbial Diversity of Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845 and Related Weevils (Curculionidae: Molytinae)

    Creator:
    Young, Natasha
    Abstract:
    Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...

  • Forestry

    Creator:
    Avery, Bonnie E.
    Abstract:
    A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees, forests, and the habitat they provide as well as their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and...

  • Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

    Creator:
    Early, Jeffrey J.
    Abstract:
    The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • Student Evaluative Sensemaking on Homework in Intermediate Mechanics

    Creator:
    Hahn, Kelby T.
    Abstract:
    Physicists seek to understand the world and often use mathematics to aid in attaining that goal. Thus when doing mathematics they often interrogate their results in order to ensure that they align with their expectations and to gain new insight into how the world works. This seeking of coherence between...

  • Low Impact Development in the Ash Creek Watershed, Oregon : Feasibility Study and Implementation Tool Design

    Creator:
    Chalmers, Douglas R.
    Abstract:
    This study presents potential Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for the Ash Creek watershed and designs several tools to assist localities in implementing the solutions they may choose. Ash Creek is a tributary of the Willamette River flowing through Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence in Polk County, Oregon. Currently, Ash Creek...

  • Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

    Creator:
    Ellis, Erik
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

    Creator:
    Fraas, Picabo K.
    Abstract:
    In 1947, scientists from the University of California departed for a fifteen-month expedition to Africa. Jessie Camp, wife of the head paleontologist Dr. Charles L. Camp, had no official position on the expedition. Yet in performing her traditional domestic duties, she greatly contributed to the overall success of the expedition....
