R&D investment and productivity in the U.S. and Canadian food processing sectors

Creator:: Chan-Kang, Connie
Abstract:: Increased competition brought about by trade liberalization has raised the stakes for improving productivity in U.S. and Canadian food processing. A key element of productivity growth is technological change, which in turn results from R&D investment. The present study employs an econometric model to assess rates of technological change and...

Salmon, Saws, and Sense of Place: Using a Discrete Choice Experiment to Examine Place Relationships and Preferences for Stream Restoration on the Quinault Indian Reservation

Creator:: Robinson, Kerrick W.
Abstract:: The social sciences have the capacity to contribute to natural resource management through investigations of human dynamics associated with the environment. Sense of place (SOP), the formed relationships between an individual and the environment, has been considered a fundamental aspect of human well-being and can contribute to more holistic understanding...

Uranium mineralization of the metamorphic aureole of the Spirit pluton, Stevens County, Washington

Creator:: Mitchell, Terry Edward
Abstract:: Several uranium anomalies, with concentrations of U₃0₈ that average below 0.003 percent and reach maximums of 0.069 percent, are associated with black, fossiliferous, pyritic parts of the Ordovician Ledbetter Slate in northern Stevens County, Washington. The most uraniferous parts of the slate occur in small (average of 5 by 30...

Exploring Embodied Gender Identities in Steven Universe

Creator:: Painter, Stephanie
Abstract:: Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...

Nitrogen management and variety selection for dryland production of hard red winter wheat in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Jepsen, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Proper nitrogen (N) management and variety selection are important for profitable hard red winter (HRW) wheat production in the dryland growing regions of northeastern Oregon. In these dryland systems, N management for grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) is challenging due to climatic and year-to-year variation in production environments....

The effects of density and proportion on spring wheat and Lolium multiflorum Lam

Creator:: Concannon, Julie Ann
Abstract:: This thesis consists of four chapters. Literature is reviewed in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 describes an addition series experiment to determine the influence of species density and proportion on vegetative and reproductive yield of spring wheat and Lolium multiflorum. Chapter 3 consists of a growth analysis experiment to determine whether...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

An economic analysis of the onsite benefits and costs of reducing soil erosion through conservation tillage in the Camas Prairie region of northern Idaho

Creator:: Bauer, Steven Gerard
Abstract:: The onsite costs and benefits of conservation tillage in the Camas Prairie Region of Northern Idaho were estimated. The evaluation of these costs and benefits included a measurement of the long-term effects of soil erosion on cropland productivity. A model developed by Daniel Taylor (1982) was used as a base...

Modeling and optimization of a combined cycle Stirling-ORC system and design of an integrated microchannel Stirling heat rejector

Creator:: Ingram-Goble, Robbie
Abstract:: The performance of a combined Stirling-ORC power cycle is evaluated, and an integrated microchannel heat exchanger is designed as an annular cold-side heat rejector for a free piston Stirling engine. Reasonable designs for a combined cycle can increased power output efficiency by 3 - 9% compared to that of a...

Time-dependent deflection of Douglas fir beams in bending and shear modes

Creator:: Capell, Harry Thomas
Abstract:: Creep in wood has been observed since 1833 but only recently has it been studied quantitatively. The aim of this paper is to study the time-dependent deflections of Douglas fir, Coast Region beams in bending and shear modes. The general method of approach used is that of large scale observation....
