Investigating Alternative Irrigation Strategies and Sources for the Cool-Humid Willamette Valley

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: Rising human populations and climate change are putting increasing demands on our already-limited freshwater sources. In response to these concerns, homeowners and municipalities have been encouraged to replace turfgrass – a plant with relatively high irrigation needs – with drought-tolerant plants that do not require frequent irrigation. However, the many...

Efficacy of Cultural Practices for Mitigating the Negative Impacts of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus on Vine Physiology and Fruit Composition in Oregon Pinot Noir

Creator:: Copp, Cody R.
Abstract:: The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....

A second look at Alexander Pope and Newtonian science

Creator:: Reid, Tim S.
Abstract:: "This Long Disease, My Life": Alexander Pope and the Sciences by Marjorie Nicolson and G.S. Rousseau has been the standard work on Alexander Pope and Newtonian science ever since it was published in 1968. Literary scholars and biographers continue to be swayed by its influence. Unfortunately, the work they so...

Developing climate records from speleothems, Oregon Caves National Monument, Oregon

Creator:: Vacco, David A.
Abstract:: A stalagmite (sample OCNM8-02A) collected from Oregon Caves National Monument (OCNM) was sampled for stable isotope ratios in order to develop a record of Pacific Northwest climate history. Nine U-series dates indicate that the record spans the time period - 13.5 - 9.5 ka. The stalagmite growth rate varied from...

The economic value of native pollinators in regard to Oregon blueberry production

Creator:: Ritter, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Blueberry production in Oregon is highly reliant upon the ecosystem services of native pollinators, which provide as much as a quarter of the total pollination services received by Blueberry growers. However, the health of these pollinator populations may be affected in yet unforeseen ways as growers adopt new pest management...

Spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection

Creator:: Adrion, Robert Foisy
Abstract:: This is a review paper based on recent literature in the areas of spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection. The Fabry-Perot interferometer with spherical mirrors has been widely used as a laser resonator. The modes of oscillation, diffraction losses and resonance condition are determined for the confocal resonator, i.e....

Life-Cycle and Playability Analysis of Natural Turfgrass and Synthetic Infill Playing Surfaces Under Field Conditions

Creator:: Daviscourt Brian L.
Abstract:: The perception of a long-term cost advantage of synthetic infill turf systems relative to natural grass systems has contributed to a rise in their popularity in the USA. However, few comprehensive cost assessments of natural grass and synthetic infill systems exist. There are also no studies looking at interactions between...

The use of surface energy balance models as a means to quantify changes in glacier mass balance : an application to the Collier Glacier

Creator:: Beedlow, Andrew Cody
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the measured and modeled mass balance of the Collier Glacier, a small (0.70 km²), valley glacier located in the Oregon Cascade Range (44° 10' N, 121° 47' W). Here we present mass-balance measurements conducted for the 2009 and 2010 balance years...

Economic, political and physical problems involved in expanding the cultivation of swamp rice in Sierra Leone

Creator:: Gilliland, Anne Huston
Abstract:: Swamp rice offers tropical populations the most feasible means of obtaining a dependable and plentiful supply of protein-rich cereals. An acre of swamp rice land will support many persons and the crop does not cause erosion. A further production of this type of rice appears warranted in Sierra Leone and...
