  • Influence of macro-roughness on tsunami runup & forces

    Creator:
    Bridges, Kerri-Jane
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of a manuscript based on a laboratory experiment run in the Tsunami Wave Basin as part of a research project funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation called Housesmash. The purpose of the experiment was to better understand the role of the urban environment, represented...

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave forces on a highway bridge superstructure

    Creator:
    Bradner, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...

  • A DAC and comparator for a 100MHz decision feedback equalization loop

    Creator:
    Engelbrecht, Linda M.
    Abstract:
    Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) in a data recovery channel filters the bit decision in the current symbol period in generating the sample at the comparator in the subsequent clock period. The operations of sampling, comparing, filtering the decision bits into a feedback signal, and subtraction of that feedback signal are...

  • Body awareness as related to clothing interest of college men and women

    Creator:
    Paeth, Linda Kirk
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between clothing interest and body awareness, between clothing interest and selected demographic variables for college men and women, and between body awareness and selected demographic variables for college men and women. To assess these relationships two measures were used. Body awareness,...

  • Attitudes, perceptions and coping skills of long-term breast cancer survivors

    Creator:
    Baskerville, Linda F.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to document, through personal interviews, perceptions, attitudes and coping skills utilized by women who have survived breast cancer treated by mastectomy for at least 5 years without recurrence. A semi-structured interview guide was developed with input from professionals in the field. The questions were...

  • Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

    Creator:
    Thomas, Seth Alan
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

  • An analysis of wave forces on prototype walls under tsunami loading

    Creator:
    Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts based on a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a vertical wall subjected to tsunami loading. The first manuscript examined tsunami force and pressure distributions on a rigid wall that was fronted by a small seawall. Six different seawall heights...

  • Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

    Creator:
    Converse, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

  • The objects within : an applied OOO literary criticism

    Creator:
    Dodson, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    For centuries, continental philosophy has clung to the belief that the world only meaningfully exists through human perception--that, in other words, when a tree falls in the forest, it does not make a sound. Literary theory, which has strong roots in continental philosophy, followed suit, remaining tied to humanism even...

  • Why they volunteer : a study of participants at nature conservancy work parties

    Creator:
    Hastings, Kevin L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the motivations of ecological restoration volunteers with the Oregon chapter of The Nature Conservancy. This study helps fill in voids left by a lack of research on the motivations of ecological restoration volunteers. Studies that have explored restoration volunteer motivation relied largely on surveys that revealed altruistic...
