Understanding the Use of Tablet Technology as a Mechanism for Improving Teaching and Learning in the Corvallis School District

Creator:: Hunter, Nancee and Storksdieck, Martin
Abstract:: The Tablets in Classrooms (TIC) program was initiated by the Corvallis School District (CSD) during the 2012-13 school year. TIC provides teachers and students in elementary and middle grades with Apple iPads as new pedagogical tools for teaching and learning. The school district contracted with Oregon State University’s Center for...

Paleoseismic Record of Peninsula Segment Earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault near San Francisco, CA and possible NSAF linkage to Cascadia

Creator:: Goldfinger, Chris
Abstract:: Lake Merced results have established the lake as a viable paleoseismic site on the northern San Francisco peninsula. The lake records ~ 2300 years of event beds, 17 in total. Prior to that the lake was open to the ocean and contains marine shells consistent with an estuarine environment. The...

Involving the users remotely : an exploratory study using asynchronous usability testing

Creator:: Filar Williams, Beth and Valla, Sara
Abstract:: Open Educational Resources (OER) are increasingly used in the higher education landscape as a solution for a variety of copyright, publishing and cost-prohibiting issues. While OERs are becoming more common, reports of usability tests that evaluate how well learners can use them to accomplish their learning tasks have lagged behind....

Exploring the Optical and Electronic Properties of Xylindein, a Fungus-Derived Pigment, as a Sustainable Organic Semiconductor

Creator:: Quinn, Alexander
Abstract:: Xylindein is an organic pigment derived from Chlorociboria aeruginascens and C. aeruginosa fungi that has shown promise as an organic semiconductor. Preliminary estimates of charge carrier mobilities (CCMs) on the order of 0.1 cm2/Vs were calculated from early tests on xylindein thin films, and photocurrents were also observed under laser...

Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

The Viability of Container-Based Sanitation as a Tool for Sanitation Coverage in Urban Haiti

Creator:: VanRiper, Froggi Ramona
Abstract:: Haiti is far from achieving the UN goal of sanitation access for all; 20% Haitians have no sanitation access, and less than 0.1% of urban excreta is safely managed. Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) may be a key tool for achieving equitable sanitation coverage in Haiti’s cities. CBS is a sanitation strategy...

Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

Creator:: Meeker, Alissa R.
Abstract:: There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

Vertical Ground Reaction Force During the Forward Lunge and Squat for Dominant and Non-Dominant Limbs in Older Adults

Creator:: Thompson, Ronald D.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance. The purpose...

Response of Conifer-Encroached Shrublands in the Great Basin to Prescribed Fire and Mechanical Treatments

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Ratchford, Jaime, Roundy, Bruce A., Tausch, Robin J., Hulet, April, and Chambers, Jeanne
Abstract:: In response to the recent expansion of piñon and juniper woodlands into sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Great Basin region, numerous conifer-removal projects have been implemented, primarily to release understory vegetation at sites having a wide range of environmental conditions. Responses to these treatments have varied from successful restoration of...

Potential effects of sea-level rise on plant productivity: species-specific responses in northeast Pacific tidal marshes

Creator:: Janousek, Christopher
Abstract:: Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh plant community composition, quantify organic matter inputs to marsh accretion, and...
