Regional scale sandbar variability : observations from the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Di Leonardo, Diana R.
Abstract:: Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...

A mechanized harvesting system simulation : input, output, limitations and capabilities

Creator:: Aedo-Ortiz, Dario M.
Abstract:: This study concerns the use of a discrete-event simulation model for analyzing the production of a mechanized forest harvest system. The simulation models a field collection data set of a harvester-forwarder system which was previously collected by the Forest Engineering Department of Oregon State University. The computer software consisted of...

African American/Black Upward Mobility through Sports : A Critical Analysis

Creator:: Smith, Michael D.
Abstract:: Research has shown that African Americans/Blacks, especially those with low socioeconomic status, acknowledge athletics as an avenue for upward mobility (Coakley, 2011). Although the chances of becoming a professional athlete might seem unachievable through sports, athletes develop tangible and intangible abilities that transfer and are useful in the years following...

Region-Specific Investigation of the Cone Penetration Test for Preliminary Classification and Estimation of Preconsolidation Stress, Undrained Shear Strength, and Cyclic Resistance of Transitional Silts

Creator:: Ortiz, Susan Christine
Abstract:: The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) has been widely-adopted for rapid, cost-effective exploration of the subsurface and reduction in the effort associated with drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing of soil. The adoption of the CPT has stemmed in part to the correlation of measurements to preliminary soil classification, stress history, drained...

Plant community recovery after high severity wildfire and post-fire management in the Klamath Region

Creator:: Lopez Ortiz, Maria Jose
Abstract:: Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high severity wildfires with and without post-fire management (salvage logging, fuel treatment, tree planting, and shrub release) under contrasting microclimatic...
