Experimental analysis of subsurface heating and irrigation on the temperature and water content of soils

Creator:: Sepaskhah, Ali Reza
Abstract:: Multiple use of waste heat from power plants may become an important consideration in the development, siting, and certification of these plants. A multiple use system of components that can beneficially utilize waste heat may include home heating and cooling, greenhouses, animal enclosures, open basins for single cell protein production...

Low-velocity matter wave source for atom interferometry produced by Zeeman-tuned laser cooling and magneto-optic trapping

Creator:: Mayer, Shannon K.
Abstract:: A continuous, low-velocity, nearly monochromatic atomic beam is created using laser cooling and two-dimensional magneto-optic trapping. Rubidium atoms from an effusive oven are slowed and cooled using Zeeman-tuned slowing. The scattering force from a counter-propagating, frequency-stabilized diode laser beam is used to decelerate the thermal beam of atoms to a...

An evaluation of soil warming for increased crop production

Creator:: Rykbost, K. A.
Abstract:: In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon. This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...

Simulation and field validation of heat and water flow during soil freezing and thawing

Creator:: Pikul, Joseph Lawrence
Abstract:: Freeze/thaw cycles are numerous in agricultural soils of the Pacific Northwest. Potential loss of soil by erosion is high whenever a soil thaws from the surface creating a saturated soil overlying an impermeable frozen layer. Field studies were conducted to investigate the effect of surface residue on soil freezing. Residue...

A continuum model of plant root growth

Creator:: Feng, Yongsheng
Abstract:: The continuum theory provides a framework in which the growth of a plant root as a dynamic process involving interactions among transport of water and solute, cell division, and the subsequent cell elongation can be described. A plant root is modeled as a one-dimensional, multi-phase, mathematical continuum. The network of...

Development and validation of an instrument to assess the organizational climate in community colleges

Creator:: Martin, Sharon
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the organizational climate of the community college as perceived by community college administrators, faculty, and classified staff. There were three phases in this study. The first was to develop a pool of test items based...

Consolidation, compression, and shear strength of four western Oregon forest soils

Creator:: McNabb, David H.
Abstract:: Forest soils with low bulk densities are often considered less susceptible to compaction than soils with higher bulk densities. The objective of this study was to determine if soil strength controlled the compression of soils with low bulk density. Four soils were selected for this evaluation. Three of these were...
