A river loved : facilitating cooperative negotiation of transboundary water resource management in the Columbia River Basin through documentary film

Creator:: Watson, Julie Elkins
Abstract:: In transboundary water resources policy and management situations, such as the governance of the Columbia River Basin, complex social, ecological, and economic factors seem to be in irreconcilable competition with one another. However, cooperative negotiation provides an outlet for entities and stakeholders to "expand the pie" and develop creative alternatives...

Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:: Elkins, Lori A.
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

The Role of the Academic Advisor as a Support Person for Student-Athletes in Higher Education

Creator:: Phillips, Rachel (Rachel Lynne)
Abstract:: Despite policies implemented by the NCAA with the intention of increasing student-athlete academic success and persistence to graduation, student-athlete graduation rates still remain low, with only 65% of student-athletes receiving their college degree. Certain non- cognitive variables, including the availability of a strong support person, have been shown predict persistence...

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...

Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

Creator:: Goodwin, Ian
Abstract:: The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...

Studies on the spatial variability of phytoplankton physiology and biomass in the Oregon upwelling system

Creator:: Sanders, Rachel B.
Abstract:: The Oregon upwelling system is a region of high biomass and primary productivity as well as strong mesoscale variability. In order to examine the interaction of physical forcing and ecosystem dynamics, four 3-week sampling cruises were conducted in the Oregon upwelling system as part of the Northeast Pacific Global Ocean...

Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Fluid Temperature for Free Convection and Vapor Condensation

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...

Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...
