  • Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony strength and its effects on pollination and yield in highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum)

    Creator:
    Grant, Kennedy J.
    Abstract:
    Many pollination studies with honey bees have examined the effect of colony density on crop yield and yet overlook the effect of variation in the population size of these colonies. High colony density in northern highbush blueberry has been met with concerns from beekeepers who feel higher densities will intensify...

  • An Evaluation of Collaborative Salmon Fishery Management in Prince William Sound, Alaska

    Creator:
    Sheridan, Thomas M.
    Abstract:
    Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...

    Creator:
    Painter, Luke E., Beschta, Robert L., and Ripple, William J.
    Abstract:
    A table containing data from random sampling plots in 87 randomly located aspen stands in northern Yellowstone, repeating measurements by Painter et al. (2014). Stands were relocated using GPS coordinates from 2012. Each stand contained one plot 2x30 m, extending from the live, dead or fallen tree nearest the GPS...

  • Ergonomic Analysis of the Global Formula Racing Driver Interface

    Creator:
    Davis, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Between Oregon State University and DHBW Ravensberg, Global Formula Racing produces two Formula style vehicles every year for competition. This thesis has served as a pre-development project in the ergonomics and driver interface of the team's vehicles. This project will determine the position of the seat back, steering wheel, and...

  • Reverence for Rock: The Effect of Institutionalized Modalities on the Motility of Women in Rock Climbing

    Creator:
    Settimo, Sarah S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis begins with an overview of the history of rock climbing that presents the opportunity to evaluate rock climbing as a religion/religious act in Section 2. Then, Section 2 delves into alternative spaces where religion exists beyond mainstream institutions, in order to build upon some themes of religious experience...

  • Salmon Management in Southeast Alaska: An Examination of Multi-Dimensional Management

    Creator:
    Chrittenden, Whitney L.
    Abstract:
    Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

  • Recreational fisheries in the USA: economics, management strategies, and ecological threats

    Creator:
    Hughes, Robert M.
    Abstract:
    Recreational fishing has a long history in the USA, developing from the subsistence fisheries of Native Americans together with a partial subsistence fishery of later immigrants. Marine, diadromous, and aquatic taxa are targeted, including both vertebrates and macroinvertebrates. This paper defines recreational fishing, describes the main fishing techniques, identifies target...
