Zonal Resource Adequacy for Voltage Control

Creator:: Boller, Michael D.
Abstract:: In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...

Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor current mirror circuits

Creator:: Feller, Layannah Elizabeth
Abstract:: The central focus of this thesis is the design, fabrication and characterization of amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistor (TFT) current mirrors. The thin-film deposition and circuit fabrication methods used to realize zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFT current mirrors are addressed in order to elucidate the processing challenges for this...

Yeast culture improves lactation performance and metabolic status in transition dairy cows

Creator:: Ramsing, Erica M.
Abstract:: Yeast culture supplementation has been used to improve the health and performance of dairy cows for the last 25 years. To evaluate the effect of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (Diamond V Original XP™) on the health and production of peripartal Holstein cows, two research studies were conducted. The first...

Woody riparian species patterns along northeast Oregon mountainous streams and the relationship to riparian capability

Creator:: Yancey, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Woody riparian vegetation is an essential component of riparian ecosystems, responsible in part for the maintenance of functional ecological processes. The plant community composition and distribution provide an indication of the underlying mosaic of environmental attributes and processes. Restoration and management of riparian communities have been hindered by the lack...

Wireless Microwave Sensing in Environmental and Biomedical Applications

Creator:: Uluer, Ismail Hakki
Abstract:: This dissertation studies two different wireless microwave sensing applications in the subjects of environmental monitoring and biomedical devices. The environmental sensing application presents a design of novel wireless sensor node configurations. These nodes are intended to be used specifically in a built environment of railroad track ballast for its health...

Why Use Ankles? An Optimization Approach to Discover Energetic Benefits of Ankles in Steady Locomotion

Creator:: Hector, Michael J.
Abstract:: Design and control of legged robots is a popular field in the pursuit of building robots that can be as mobile as humans. While much effort is put into understanding how to control the dynamics of these legs, less effort is focused on designing and controlling robot ankles. Ankles on...

Why aren't pigeon guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska recovering from the Exxon Valdez oil spill?

Creator:: Bixler, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: The Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus columba) is now the only species of marine bird in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska that is listed as "not recovering" on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council's Injured Resources List and has shown no sign of population recovery. During the 20 years since...

White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Viste-Sparkman, Karen
Abstract:: Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...

When High School Teachers Teach College Writing : Oregon Approaches to Dual Credit Teacher Qualifications, Support, and Professional Development

Creator:: Terriere, Jordan E.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the challenging situation high school dual credit teachers in Oregon face teaching first-year composition in the high school location. I argue that thorough training, support, and professional development are vital for high school teachers teaching dual credit writing courses, who without it may find themselves faced with...
