On the Economics of Virtual Water Trade

Creator:: Reimer, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: Virtual water trade is increasingly recognized as a useful metaphor for thinking about freshwater resources in an international context. Its legitimacy in terms of economic theory has been questioned by a number of authors, however. In this article I develop new theoretical results that place the virtual water concept on...

Ability of plant-derived oils to inhibit dampwood termite (Zootermopsis augusticollis) activity

Creator:: Fatima, Rushda and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The potential effects of plant derived oils on survival of dampwood termite (Zootermopsis augusticollis) workers was explored on western white pine sapwood blocks. All of the oils rapidly affected protozoa in the hindgut of termite workers and protozoa loss was closely followed by worker mortality. The effects were most rapid...

Heat-Related Illness among Oregon Farmworkers

Creator:: Bethel, Jeffrey W. and Harger, Renee
Abstract:: Farmworkers are particularly vulnerable to climate-sensitive health outcomes such as heat-related illness (HRI) given their tasks involve heavy exertion in an outdoor setting. The objectives of the study were to: (1) describe symptoms of HRI experienced by farmworkers and (2) explore factors associated with heat knowledge, level of concern regarding...

Reproductive phase locking of mosquito populations in response to rainfall frequency

Creator:: Shaman, Jeffrey and Day, Jonathan F.
Abstract:: The frequency of moderate to heavy rainfall events is projected to change in response to global warming. Here we show that these hydrologic changes may have a profound effect on mosquito population dynamics and rates of mosquito-borne disease transmission. We develop a simple model, which treats the mosquito reproductive cycle...

Assessments of Population Structure, Diversity, and Phylogeography of the Swiss Needle Cast Fungus (Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Bennett, Patrick and Stone, Jeffrey
Abstract:: Swiss needle cast (SNC) is a foliar disease of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) caused by Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii (Rohde) Petrak. This fungus is endemic to western North America, where it has historically had little impact in native forests. However, increasing disease severity in western Oregon since the 1990s has prompted renewed interest...

Abrupt changes in atmospheric methane at the MIS 5b–5a transition

Creator:: Grachev, Alexi M., Brook, Edward J., and Severinghaus, Jeffrey P.
Abstract:: New ice core analyses show that the prominent rise in atmospheric methane concentration at Dansgaard-Oeschger event 21 was interrupted by a century-long 20% decline, which was previously unrecognized. The reversal was found in a new ∼100-year resolution study of methane in the GISP2 ice core, encompassing the beginning of D-O...

Effects of outdoor exposure on properties of I-joists

Creator:: King, David T., Sinha, Arijit, and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: Wood I-joists are often left uncovered and exposed to the weather during construction, allowing the oriented strandboard and laminated veneer lumber in these systems to be adversely affected by water absorption. Manufacturers typically specify that these materials be protected from wetting, but this can be difficult in wetter climates. There...

The water footprint of staple crop trade under climate and policy scenarios

Creator:: Konar, Megan, Reimer, Jeffrey J., Hussein, Zekarias, and Hanasaki, Naota
Abstract:: Trade in staple crop commodities has become increasingly important in the global food system, with ramifications for both food security and water resources sustainability. It is thus essential to understand how the water footprint (WF) of staple crop trade may change in the future. To this end, we project international...

Power Calculations for a Passively Tuned Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Oskamp, Jeffrey A. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
Abstract:: A wave-structure interaction model is implemented, and power output estimates are made for a simplified wave energy converter operating in measured spectral wave conditions. In order to estimate power output from a wave energy converter, device response to hydrodynamic forces is computed using a boundary element method potential flow model....
