  • Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

    Creator:
    Ellis, Tana M.
    Abstract:
    Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...

  • Closing the Gap : Using Theory to Analyze the African American Division 1 Football Player Graduation Gap

    Creator:
    Smith, Dorian
    Abstract:
    African American male students are a small portion of the student body at NCAA Division 1-A schools, but they make up a large portion of population of college football players. African American male college students are also one of the most at-risk student populations on campus in regards to retention....

  • Automated Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Revolute, Prismatic and Pin-In-Slot Joints

    Creator:
    Huang, Weifeng
    Abstract:
    The intent of this research is to explore the entire design space of mechanism topologies by using a graph grammar synthesis approach. A new graph representation of planer mechanism has been developed to represent the planar mechanism with revolute (R), prismatic (P), and pin-in-slot (RP) joints. Following Gruebler's equation, the...

  • Hitchcock in Hollywood: Examining the Master of Suspense’s Career with Rebecca and Psycho

    Creator:
    Flanagan, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    This project examines the production histories of two films that Alfred Hitchcock directed, his Hollywood debut Rebecca (1940) and the memorable Psycho (1960). The first chapter explores how Hitchcock succeeded and failed at influencing the picture as he, despite directing the movie, had to follow the vision that his producer,...

  • Progress in the development of a portable phoswich-style skin contamination dosimeter

    Creator:
    Tang, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20.1201) mandates occupational dose limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of estimating dose to these layers from contamination events is laborious. The current work aims to further the development of a portable phoswich-style skin dosimeter that will operate in...

  • Numbering-up of parallel microchannel arrays to megawatt scale supercritical CO₂ solar thermal receivers

    Creator:
    Hyder, Matthew B.
    Abstract:
    Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the reliance on nonrenewable energies such as coal and natural gas and provide 24 hour, renewable electricity. A CSP system consists of a large field of heliostats that concentrate the sunlight on a centralized receiver, in this receiver a working...

  • Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

  • Flavors associated with the use of Cheddar cheese whey powder in ice cream mix

    Creator:
    Andrews, Matthew V.
    Abstract:
    Flavor problems associated with the use of cheddar cheese whey in the formulation of ice cream and other food products were investigated. During spray drying of whey, which transforms bulky liquid whey into an easily transportable and storable powder, various degrees of off-flavor development may occur depending on the care...

  • Residence and growth of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Netarts Bay, Oregon

    Creator:
    Wilson, Matthew T.
    Abstract:
    Estuarine residence and growth of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) from Netarts Bay, Oregon were estimated from daily-formed growth increments of sagittal otoliths which are distinguishable from accretion patterns formed during freshwater residence. Estuarine residence time was inversely related to the average size at which juvenile chum salmon entered Netarts...
