  • Shuddering blood

    Creator:
    Kroll, Adam L.
    Abstract:
    This collection of six individual writings, both fiction and creative non-fiction, is an exploration in narrative first-person voices and multiple themes, such as the loss of innocence, modernization versus traditions/myths, the California Central Valley, death, creativity, language, change, and the pressures of the future. Though abstractly linked at times, these...

    Creator:
    Martens, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    These essays are an attempt to rebuild memories that explore the nature of work and family. They explore how work knocks against the joints of the body and against the joints between family members, and, as time passes, how the next generation inherits the family line of work only to...

  • Fighting tradition : Hemingway’s Nick Adams and shell shock

    Creator:
    McGrath, Cole P.
    Abstract:
    In his Nick Adams stories, Ernest Hemingway traces the life of a single man as he moves from boyhood to adolescence to adulthood to fatherhood. From the beginning of Nick Adam’s life, it is clear that he does not fit into the role of the traditional hero. In addition, Nick...

  • Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

    Creator:
    Ellis, Tana M.
    Abstract:
    Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...

  • Using EarthScope Magnetotelluric Data to Improve the Resilience of the US Power Grid: Rapid Predictions of Geomagnetically Induced Currents

    Creator:
    Bonner, L. Roy, IV
    Abstract:
    Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) are quasi-DC signals that are induced in the ground during geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and pose a large threat to power grid infrastructure. The power industry currently attempts to mitigate GIC effects by utilizing 1-D ground electrical conductivity based electric field predictions, though conductivity can vary in...

  • A simplified model of heat transfer between large-particle gas-fluidized beds and immersed surfaces

    Creator:
    Bakke, Paul D.
    Abstract:
    A simplified model of the combined particle convective and radiative components of heat transfer between large-particle gas-fluidized beds and immersed surfaces was developed. This analytical model was based on the single particle formulation of Adams and Welty [4,9], with the added assumptions of one-dimensional heat conduction in the particle and...

  • Valuing urban wetlands : a property pricing approach

    Creator:
    Mahan, Brent L
    Abstract:
    Wetlands play an important role in our social and economic well being. Many services wetlands provide, such as wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics, are collective goods. Because these services are not represented in a market, an over supply of wetlands converted to other uses and an under supply of protected...

  • Terrain-Aware Probabilistic Search Planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Creator:
    Schomer, Nathan L.
    Abstract:
    Mountain search and rescue is a vital form of emergency response to assist people in austere environments (e.g., extreme terrain, poor weather). Volunteer mountain search and rescue teams in the United States have begun adopting consumer- grade unmanned aerial vehicles to assist a variety of tasks (e.g., search, resource delivery);...

  • Genetics of stem volume, stem form, and branch characteristics in sapling Noble fir

    Creator:
    Doede, David L.
    Abstract:
    Noble fir (Abies procera Rehd.), an important conifer in the Pacific Northwest, is valuable for timber, Christmas trees, and greenery products. A number of tree improvement programs emphasizing genetic improvement of bole volume growth are underway in this species. The purpose of this study was to estimate genetic control of...
