  • Surface Water - Groundwater Interactions in Clayey Pasture fields in the WIllamette Valley

    Creator:
    Gómez, Daniel G.
    Abstract:
    As the western United States continues to experience prolonged drought that is extending water deficits and threatening ecosystem resilience and socioeconomic systems, it will be vital to understand the relationship between water use and transport for proper water resource management. This is especially important to the agricultural areas of the...

  • Lamb Growth and Seasonal Herbage Production from Simple, Diverse, and Legume Pastures Established in an Agrivoltaic System

    Creator:
    Andrew, Alyssa C.
    Abstract:
    Agrivoltaic systems promote dual use of land by combining solar energy and agricultural production. Grazing sheep in these systems is popular but research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pasture mixes...

  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • Role of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma on Prevention/Cure of Mastitis

    Creator:
    Trindade da Rosa, Fernanda
    Abstract:
    Mastitis is a major endemic disease in dairy cows resulting in significant economic losses for the dairy industry. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that is able to bind and be activated by natural (e.g., fatty acids) and synthetic (e.g. thiazolidinedione) compounds. PPARγ plays important roles...

  • Energy-Aware Gossip Techniques for Wireless Broadcasting

    Creator:
    Li, Tingzhi
    Abstract:
    The current state of research on gossip techniques for wireless broadcasting is very limited because past research efforts have mostly focused on using gossip techniques for multicast communication. On the other hand, those research efforts that have focused on using gossip techniques for wireless broadcast communications ignore energy efficiency and...

  • Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Array Economic Analysis and Preliminary Results of a Genetic Algorithm Approach Introducing Cost Factors

    Creator:
    Sharp, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    With the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the current energy portfolio and the proximity of many population centers to an ocean coastline, it is pressing that marine energy systems, specifically wave energy converters (WECs), are evaluated as potential solutions for meeting energy needs. In order to best understand...

  • Electrolyzed oxidizing water treatment for reducing Vibrio contamination in oysters

    Creator:
    Ren, Tingting
    Abstract:
    Oysters can be easily contaminated with spoilage and pathogenic bacteria through contaminated waster. The United States produces more than 27 million pounds of oysters each year and most of them are sold and consumed raw without further processing. Growth of naturally contaminating bacteria in oysters during storage results in loss...

  • Operating characteristics of the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Qin, Bi-de
    Abstract:
    The brushless doubly fed machine (BDFM), or self-cascade single-frame machine, can operate asynchronously or synchronously over a wide speed range. In this sense the machine becomes an adjustable speed synchronous machine. Such machines may become unstable in certain regions of operation. Analyzing its steady-state performance and determining its stable operating...

    Creator:
    Xiong, Yeping
    Abstract:
    The essential oil of Alaska cedar heartwood is known to contain compounds which contribute to the remarkable durability of this species. While previous research has identified several compounds, a complete description of this oil, which has a "burnt-grape fruit" odor, has not been undertaken. In this research a profile of...
