A descriptive study of the Oregon community college budget processes during the 2001-2003 Oregon Legislative session

Creator:: Bohart, B. Edward
Abstract:: From 1990 to 2000, Oregon community colleges experienced a shift in their revenue sources from primarily local taxes to primarily state funding. Additionally during this time Oregon approved term limits for state officials and legislators. In preparation for the 2001-2003 biennial Legislative session, the community colleges pursued new approaches to...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

An analysis of certain effects of teaching students to construct and analyze questions

Creator:: Walker, Thomas Jerry
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effects of teaching elementary and secondary students the Gallagher Topic Classification System as a technique for constructing and analyzing questions. The subjects for the study were the students of three groups of randomly selected teachers from Coos and Douglas Counties of...

Applying a Dynamic Time Warping Approach to Stratigraphic Correlation: Quaternary Magnetostratigraphy and Ediacaran–Cambrian Chemostratigraphy

Creator:: Hagen, Cedric J.
Abstract:: Magneto- and chemostratigraphic correlation underpins much of our understanding of Earth history, yet typical correlation techniques are neither quantitative nor objective. Within this dissertation, I detail my efforts to develop and apply dynamic programming-based algorithms that accomplish optimal and reproducible stratigraphic alignment. I apply these algorithms to three geologic intervals:...

Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

Creator:: Buser, Jessica Z.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...

Developing a Methodology to Study the Effects of Adhesive Flow Penetration on Wood Adhesive Bond Performance by using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC)

Creator:: Ching, Daniel Jackson
Abstract:: Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Feeding Ecology and Growth of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) During Early Marine Residence

Creator:: Litz, Marisa Norma Chantal
Abstract:: The early marine phase following freshwater emigration has been identified as a critical period in salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) life history, characterized by high but variable mortality. Consistent with the “growth-mortality” and “bigger-is-better” hypotheses, at least some of the mortality during the critical period appears to be size-dependent – with smaller...

Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

Incremental Forming of Polymers at Room Temperature

Creator:: Davar Panah, Mohammad Ali
Abstract:: Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a forming process in which a fully clamped sheet is formed by a hemispherical ended tool that moves along a predefined 3D toolpath. The sheet is formed in a series of local deformations to reach its desired shape. Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) includes...
