  • Model development via delay extraction for the time-domain simulation of lossy transmission lines.

    Creator:
    Blevins, Chris
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents two new approaches for the broadband, time-domain modeling of lossy transmission lines. Each approach is based on an alternative derivation of delay extraction in order to separate the line's linear phase from its attenuation and dispersion. Augmentation networks represent the derived attenuation networks as rational function approximations....

  • The infinite margin : living in reading

    Creator:
    Kleiman, Alicia J. Alicia J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis, a collection of creative non-fiction essays, explores the nature and influence of reading and school in the author's life. After a brief introduction explaining the title, part one describes the sensory dimensions of reading. Part two discusses the author's work as a student and teacher and the contradictions...

  • Believing details

    Creator:
    Harrell, Anna M.
    Abstract:
    In this creative non-fiction thesis, the author reads her own life, suggesting that she believes in the details of experience and knows truth in and through experience even though the truth is not always clear. The first chapter includes several narratives from her childhood experience. In the second chapter, the...

  • Integration of conservation tilage and cover crops in broccoli production systems of the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    O'Brien, Timothy John
    Abstract:
    Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate the effects of integrating conservation tillage and cover cropping on broccoli production as well as agroecological parameters. A field experiment was conducted during 1996-97 at the Oregon State University Horticulture Research farm near Corvallis, OR. The specific objectives...

  • Soil quality dynamics in an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable agroecosystem

    Creator:
    Banners, Candace R.
    Abstract:
    Soil response and function were investigated following the adoption of an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable system in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. The experiment was conducted over three cropping seasons (2002-2004) at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm (Corvallis, OR). The design was a randomized complete-block with...

  • Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

    Creator:
    Manning, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...

  • Confessing Our Sims: The construction of gender and sexuality among women ages 18-22 on MySpace

    Creator:
    Papaleo, November R.
    Abstract:
    MySpace is a social network phenomenon with over 100 million profiles and a strong presence in over 24 countries. As digital media become more commonplace, social networks are becoming sites where women create and manage relationships and identities. This thesis is a study of how women ages 18-22 are constructing...

  • Deposition and characterization of transition metal oxides from aqueous solution

    Creator:
    Betterton, Sharon A.
    Abstract:
    The aqueous chemistries of two transition metal cations, Zr⁴⁺ and Nb⁵⁺, are examined and then used to develop inorganic precursor solutions. The oxides of these cations (ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅) are deposited and characterized, and their morphological and optical properties discussed. Due to the obstacles created by niobium's aqueous chemistry, an...

  • Nitrogen dynamics across silvicultural canopy gaps in young forests of western Oregon

    Creator:
    Thiel, Aaron L.
    Abstract:
    Silvicultural canopy gaps are emerging as an alternative management tool to accelerate development of complex forest structure in young, even-aged forests of the Pacific Northwest. I investigated patterns of nitrogen (N) availability along transects through 0.1 and 0.4 ha silvicultural gaps in three 50-70 year old Douglas-fir forests of western...

  • Decomposition and nitrogen dynamics of red alder and Douglas-fir leaf litter in Oregon Coast Range riparian forests

    Creator:
    Matkins, Joselin
    Abstract:
    I examined factors regulating decomposition rates of red alder (Alnus rubra)) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) leaf litter in Coast Range riparian areas in western Oregon. Overall, this study was designed to examine the influence that leaf litter quality characteristics and decomposition site treatment have on decomposition rates, to provide a...
