Tragedy at Sandy Hook and the National Rifle Association's Propaganda Response

Creator:: Gundlach, Andrew
Abstract:: This research examines the response from the National Rifle Association (NRA) to the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Specifically, the research seeks to conclude whether the NRA engaged in propaganda, and if so, what the ethical implications of such use are. Using literature from...

Surface water variation and water storage potential in Upper Klamath Basin, 2000-2012

Creator:: Tanner, Andrew M.
Abstract:: With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...

Trends in streamflow above and below dams across the Columbia River basin from 1950 to 2012 : assessing sub-basin sensitivity

Creator:: Hammond, John C.
Abstract:: Climate change, combined with population growth, is expected to exacerbate water scarcity globally. In the Columbia River basin (CRB), streamflow is managed for multiple objectives with a network of dams and reservoirs distributed throughout the basin that may mitigate climate change effects on water scarcity. This study quantified trends in...

Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

Landsat-based monitoring of annual wetland change in the main-stem Willamette River floodplain of Oregon, USA from 1972 to 2012

Creator:: Fickas, Kate C.
Abstract:: Despite holding substantial ecological value, wetlands in the United States have experienced a significant decline in both area and function over the past century with the majority of freshwater wetland loss attributed to agricultural conversion. Agriculture is the second largest industry in the State of Oregon and the State places...

Establishing irrigation criteria for cultivation of Veratrum californicum

Creator:: Doniger, Alison R.
Abstract:: Veratrum californicum (common name: corn lily) is a wild plant species that grows in the Intermountain West, its range extending from British Columbia to Mexico. Corn lily is of interest because it has the potential to provide pharmaceutical precursors for use in the treatment of cancer. Pharmaceutical companies are currently...

West Nile virus : forecasting models for a resurging vector-borne disease in Arizona, U.S.A.

Creator:: Roldan, Josiah Javier
Abstract:: West Nile Virus (WNV), a vector-borne disease continues to be a serious threat to public health in the United States, particularly in the Southwest region. While all the states in the U.S. experienced a decreasing trend of WNV disease in 2010, the state of Arizona experienced a sharp increase from...

Modeling air-drying of Douglas-fir and hybrid poplar biomass in Oregon

Creator:: Kim, Dong-Wook
Abstract:: Both transportation costs and market values of woody biomass are strongly linked to the amount of moisture in the woody biomass. Therefore, managing moisture in the woody biomass well can lead to significant advantages in the woody biomass energy business. In this study, two prediction models were developed to estimate...

Efficiency of a direct contact condenser in the presence of the noncondensable gas air compared to a tube and shell condenser

Creator:: Lebsack, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Steam distillation is the traditional method used for the extraction of peppermint oil. This process is able to remove approximately 20% of the oils from the leaves of the plant. It is a very costly and un-sustainable process due to the release of carbon emissions. Solvent free microwave extraction promises...

Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:: Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...
