  • An interface of a magnetic disc for a PDP-8/L computer system

    Creator:
    Shah, Champaklal C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the design of the interface--Read, Write and control circuits--of the magnetic disc with the PDP-8/L Computer system. The interface was designed to operate under the Data Break transfer mode of the computer and is compatible with the computer manufacturer's system. The Data Break option was...

  • Development of baseline data on Oregon's high desert vernal pools

    Creator:
    Wyland, Sara Alice
    Abstract:
    Vernal pools are ephemeral surface water wetlands with unique hydrology, ecology and species composition. Rare and endemic species rely on vernal pool habitat due to specialization traits the species possess because they are adapted to the extreme conditions. Many vernal pool basins have been topographically and hydrologically altered and are...

  • A heterogeneous flow numerical model based on domain decomposition methods

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a heterogeneous flow model is proposed based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition method. The model combines potential flow and incompressible viscous flow. Both flow domains contain a free surface boundary. The heterogeneous domain decomposition method is formulated following the Dirichlet-Neumann method. Both an implicit scheme and an...

  • Photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in aqueous and ionic liquid solutions in a microreactor with TiO₂ catalyst; experiment and modeling

    Creator:
    Campbell, Travis J.
    Abstract:
    Microtechnology was used to study the chemical reduction of dissolved carbon dioxide into useful products. A novel TiO₂ photocatalyst was used to activate the reaction under ultraviolet irradiation. CO₂ was dissolved in aqueous and 50% BMIM-BF₄ (ionic liquid) solutions. The introduction of an ionic liquid increased the solubility of CO₂...

  • Evaluating "nuisance" beaver relocation as a tool to increase coho salmon habitat in the Alsea Basin of the central Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Petro, Vanessa M.
    Abstract:
    Many stakeholders involved with stream restoration in the Pacific Northwest have discussed the potential benefits of using beaver dam construction activities (Castor canadensis) as a management tool to improve degraded stream habitat for anadromous salmon species. In addition, there has been growing interest in using nuisance beavers, primarily controlled by...

  • Pathogenicity of Phytophthora species from Oregon waterways

    Creator:
    Navarro, Sarah M.
    Abstract:
    Described as one of the most destructive pathogens of agricultural crops and forest trees, Phytophthora is a genus of microorganisms containing over 100 known species. Phytophthora alni has caused collar and root disease in alders throughout Europe and a form of the species has recently been isolated in North America....

  • Temperamental reactivity and children's social competence

    Creator:
    Nolen-Morse, Jessica M.
    Abstract:
    The current study examined relations between temperamental reactivity at 6 months and social competence in first grade, including if emotion regulation at 54 months played a role as mediator and/or moderator between temperamental reactivity and social competence in first grade. Previous studies have shown that children who are high on...

  • Effects of best management practices on copper migration from Douglas-fir lumber treated with ACZA, CA or ACQ

    Creator:
    Ye, Min
    Abstract:
    Copper is the most common ingredient in waterborne preservatives and provides excellent activity against most fungi and insects. However, issues associated with copper migration from treated wood have created increasing concerns about potential risks to non-target organisms in surrounding environments, especially those in sensitive aquatic environments. Various Best Management Practices...

  • Exploring the relationship between engineering design project characteristics and risk indicators

    Creator:
    Yim, Rachel L.
    Abstract:
    Engineering design projects are implemented to accomplish a variety of goals in organizations. As the complexity of each project grows, the risk and uncertainty accompanying each project increases as well. As a result project managers must identify potential risks to projects and create plans to avoid realized risks leading to...

  • Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

    Creator:
    Walters, James J.
    Abstract:
    In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...
