Organic Pelletized Chicken Manure Application Rates and Effects on Novel Asian Vegetables in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Velazquez, Hannah D.
Abstract:: Daikon, mizuna, mizspoona, and komatsuna are novel Asian vegetables for which a market exists in Oregon, especially in the organic sector. However, these crops are currently not grown widely in the area, despite the favorable growing environment of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Little is known about the appropriate application level of...

Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

Creator:: Nigon, Nutnicha
Abstract:: There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...

Elicitors: A Novel Tool for Controlling the Colorado Potato Beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Creator:: Butcher, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Over the last several decades, potato production has increased globally as it has been recognized as an important component to improving food security. However, potato production has been continuously challenged by pests. Current pest management practices rely heavily on chemical pesticides. Unfortunately, the overuse of pesticides can be harmful to...

Evaluating the Effect of Emotions on Student Learning using Prescriptive and Open-ended Lab Activities for a Lean Manufacturing Engineering Course

Creator:: Perez, Maritza
Abstract:: Research has shown that emotional connections during lab activities increase learning in chemistry and physics courses. However, little research has examined the effects of emotion in engineering courses, and these studies have recognized a dearth of research examining the ability of students to apply engineering concepts in real-world applications based...

Inferring Patterns and Processes of Emergence in Clonal Phytophthora Epidemics using Population Genomic Approaches

Creator:: Cauldron, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range. Characterizing evolutionary mechanisms in plant pathogens will contribute to our ability...

Advancements in Phytoremediation, Dosimetry, and Environmental Radiological Protection: Integrating Endemic Plants, Anatomically Accurate Phantoms, and Real-world Data for Improved Assessments

Creator:: Hargraves, Joshua T.
Abstract:: The environmental impact of the nuclear industry has prompted the need for innovative remediation strategies and accurate radiological assessments. This paper synthesizes three studies that collectively explore the potential of endemic plant species for phytoremediation, the development of anatomically accurate phantoms for precise dosimetry calculations, and the critical evaluation of...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Just a tool after all? No evidence for tool-use effects on the body representation across virtual and real environments

Creator:: Bell, Joshua D.
Abstract:: While human tool-use proficiency helped define our history, the cognitive and perceptual mechanics of how humans use tools are not fully understood. This question is of great value to the design of hand-held tools and prosthetics. A prominent theory, tool embodiment, suggests that tool use is facilitated by a flexible...

Alternative snap bean planting strategies to facilitate mechanical in-row weeding : final report

Creator:: Peachey, R. Edward
Abstract:: Nonchemical weed control strategies are in short supply in snap beans, particularly strategies that target weeds within the seed row. Recent work demonstrated the limitations of propane flaming and organic herbicides for weed control in stale seedbeds. There was very little improvement in weed control with propane flame or organic...

New species and new combinations in the genus Paraisaria (Hypocreales, Ophiocordycipitaceae) from the U.S.A., supported by polyphasic analysis

Creator:: Tehan, Richard M., Dooley, Connor B., Barge, Edward G., McPhail, Kerry L., and Spatafora, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Molecular phylogenetic and chemical analyses, and morphological characterization of collections of North American Paraisaria specimens support the description of two new species and two new combinations for known species. P. cascadensis sp. nov. is a pathogen of Cyphoderris (Orthoptera) from the Pacific Northwest USA and P. pseudoheteropoda sp. nov. is...
