Structuring habitat to conserve ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and reduce summer annual weeds in agroecosystems

Creator:: Green, Jessica M.
Abstract:: Weed management in sustainable farming systems often requires the integration of several different pest management techniques. Cultural, biological, and chemical pest control efforts can be utilized to contribute to the common goal of reducing weeds in vegetable row crop systems. This research addresses how common disturbances such as tillage and...

Weeds With a Purpose: Interseeding Cover Crops into Sweet Corn in Western Oregon

Creator:: Donaldson, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can occur when the crop is still in the field, cover crops may not be able to be planted, due to...

Characterizing adaptive governance capacity : A case study of the Willamette River Basin

Creator:: Jones, Ingria
Abstract:: The Willamette River Basin supports 70% of Oregon’s population and contains the richest native fish fauna in the state, (Hulse, Gregory, & Baker, 2002). The Basin is facing changes that stress its water management regimes. Is the Basin’s water management regime able to adapt in the face of these changes?...

Effect of Audible Static on Blood Pressure Measurement by Doppler Ultrasound Sphygmomanometry in Cats

Creator:: Uematsu, Sayaka
Abstract:: Systemic hypertension, a persistent elevation in systemic arterial blood pressure (BP), is a well-recognized disorder in cats. Failing to diagnose it accurately could lead to organ damage or unnecessary lifelong therapy. Doppler ultrasonic flow detectors are commonly used for indirect BP measurements in cats. However, whether the audible static from...

More than a term : a consideration of how to support generation 1.5 students at colleges and universities

Creator:: Wimberly, Elizabeth Summer
Abstract:: In this thesis, Elizabeth Summer Wimberly details the profile of generation 1.5 students as a group of students who can need extra support in higher education. Generation 1.5 students stand distinct from both international students and native, monolingual students. As such, placing generation 1.5 students in either a mainstream or...

Radial Velocity Profiles and Magnetic Field Probes for Hypervelocity Plasma Deflagration Jets

Creator:: Rodriguez, Jesse A.
Abstract:: The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...

Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

Creator:: Suanda, Sutara H.
Abstract:: In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in northern Monterey Bay, California. The experiment was sponsored by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)...

Germination and establishment in Willamette Valley native prairie plants

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Native plants provide many ecosystem services while also having great beauty and are a valuable component of the landscape. As use of these plants in habitat restoration, agricultural insectary plantings, and home landscapes increases so does demand for information on the basic biology of a group of species that have...
