  • Urban natural parks in Portland : nature, networks, and community health

    Creator:
    Baur, Joshua W. R.
    Abstract:
    Three trends are occurring today in the United States which inspired this research. First, America is growing increasingly urbanized. Today, more Americans are living in cities than in rural environments, and this pattern is predicted to continue for the foreseeable future. Urban living has benefits, but there are also challenges...

  • Playing with pedagogy : a case study of contextual teaching and learning for the natural resources classroom

    Creator:
    Greene, Kim (Kimberly Kate)
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) as a method of instruction for natural resources education. The research follows the adoption of CTL in the K-12 classrooms of six teachers focusing on natural resources education at two rural schools in Western Oregon. CTL is being investigated because it connects...

  • Seismotectonics of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau : moment tensoranalysis of regional seismograms

    Creator:
    Baur, Jan R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a detailed seismotectonic investigation of the Himalayan region and the Tibetan plateau as part of project HiCLIMB to explore the state of stress and the kinematics of the world’s largest continental collision zone. Using full regional waveforms for moment tensor inversion, source parameters for 107 earthquakes were...

  • An atmospheric pressure glow discharge detector for capillary column gas chromatography

    Creator:
    Baur, Susanna S.
    Abstract:
    The change in the oscillation frequency in the current of an atmospheric helium glow discharge is a sensitive detector for gas chromatography. The response of the detector is in the femtomole and picomole range for nonane and decane. The effluent of a capillary column is directed into a glow discharge...

  • Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

    Creator:
    Brunot, Alexander N.
    Abstract:
    The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...

  • Climbers' preferred management actions : addressing resource and crowding impacts in Yosemite Valley

    Creator:
    Burns, Molly T.
    Abstract:
    As more people become interested in rock climbing, the need to understand climbers and their preferences and how their activities impact the resource are more vital than ever. With increased use, and with little empirical data about the Yosemite climbing community, park managers cannot adequately develop a comprehensive climbing management...

  • Biophysical properties of the turnip yellow mosaic virus explored by coat protein mutagenesis

    Creator:
    Powell, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    Plant viruses have been instrumental in our understanding of the biophysical properties pertaining to non-enveloped icosahedral virus particles. A substantial amount of research has been performed over five decades on Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), arguably one of the most extensively studied icosahedral plant viruses and the type-member of the...

  • The influence of seismic attack and chloride-induced corrosion on a life cycle inventory assessment of different concrete mixtures

    Creator:
    Christiansen, Joshua W.
    Abstract:
    The life cycle assessment (LCA) process is a systematic approach to determining the environmental impacts of different products and processes. LCA is a relative approach that requires functional equivalence for the results to be compared. A method is presented that achieves functional equivalence by equating the reliability indexes being compared....

  • Application of Self-Assembled Monolayers to InGaZnO Thin Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Motley, Joshua R.
    Abstract:
    Investigations on the application of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) to indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFT) for fabrication and channel modification are presented. The back channel of IGZO thin film transistors can be modified by the absorption of self-assembled monolayers. The electrical properties of the IGZO exposed back...

  • Phylogeny of the "Chaoboriform" genera

    Creator:
    Ogawa, Joshua R.
    Abstract:
    The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a relatively small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera. Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of their tolerance to toxicants, predatory avoidance strategies, and the role chaoborids play in zooplankton community dynamics. Relative to mosquitoes, systematists have...
