Biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems of southern Oregon : presence, abundance and distribution across climate gradients

Creator:: Olarra, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In arid and semi-arid deserts, soils are commonly covered with biological soil crusts. The study of arid biocrusts and their ecological function has become increasingly common in the literature over the last several decades. Interestingly, no mention is made of biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems, raising the question as...

Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

Creator:: Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
Abstract:: An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

Associations Between Family Nutrition and Physical Activity, Food Security, and Childhood Obesity in Rural Oregon

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation...

Identification of novel immune molecular pathways and response markers to OmniGen-AF® supplementation in a rat model

Creator:: Branson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: OmniGen-AF® (OG; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) is a feed additive containing brewers dehydrated yeast and B-vitamins that supports immune function in ruminant livestock. Targeted profiling of immune-associated genes in whole blood is an effective platform for identification of a) novel molecular pathways and b) immune response markers to...

Factors influencing physical educators' inclusion behaviors towards students with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:: Morgan, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: The inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education (GPE) classes has become a concept and practice that is expected if not always understood. A review of inclusion in physical education literature suggested that GPE teachers possess less than favorable feelings towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in...

Evaluating space use and pesticide exposure risk for burrowing owls in an agricultural environment

Creator:: Gervais, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Large burrowing owl (Aihene cunicularia) populations exist in areas of intensive agriculture in California, and pesticide exposure has been identified as a potential threat to population persistence. I evaluated breeding season use of agricultural fields by adult male owls using radio telemetry, and examined egg contaminant residues to estimate population-level...

Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

Creator:: Inouye, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...

Microbial alteration of the seafloor

Creator:: Josef, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...
