Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

Creator:: Leary, Matthew M.
Abstract:: A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...

Hydrodynamic characterization of floating offshore wind turbines : an experimental and numerical multi-degree of freedom analysis

Creator:: Gadasi, Jonah B.
Abstract:: Wind energy has become a crucial resource in sustainably meeting increasing global energy demands. Recently, offshore wind energy has been gaining traction due to its higher gross resource and larger unclaimed real-estate relative to its onshore counterpart. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are increasingly popular, particularly designs with semisubmersible platforms....

Reburn Severity and Vegetation Recovery in Southwestern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Weber, Rebecca N.
Abstract:: The Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northern California is greatly departed from its historic, mixed-severity fire regime. This departure manifests in larger wildfires, greater proportions of high burn severity within wildfire perimeters, and decreased diversity of post-fire vegetation successional stages and trajectories across the landscape compared to historical norms....

Evaluation of wet brewers' grain ensiled with low quality forages

Creator:: Kennedy, Matthew A. (Matthew August)
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of wet brewers' grain (WBG) alone and with straw so it can be used as part of the sole ration for ruminants. In Exp. 1, WBG was ensued alone and was mixed with one of two straws, wheat or tall fescue grass...

Post-breeding habitat selection by songbirds in the headwaters of the Trask River, northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Jenkins, Stephanie R.
Abstract:: Little is known on the importance of riparian areas to birds near small headwater streams in mesic forests. Progress towards understanding limiting factors that affect bird populations has been difficult because of lack of information beyond the breeding period. I compared bird assemblages between headwater riparian and upland areas throughout...

Characterization of the Small-Strain Stiffness of Soils at an In-situ Liquefaction Test Site

Creator:: Donaldson, Aleyna M.
Abstract:: Strong ground motions from earthquakes can result in the reduction of the shear modulus and wave propagation characteristics of soils, and can produce liquefaction and cyclic softening during shaking and for some time following the seismic event. While the ground motions produced from controlled blasting are different than those in...

Stability of Biochar Under Storage Conditions and Evaluating its Potential as a Carbon Sequestration Tool in the United States

Creator:: Rovero, Matthew
Abstract:: Biochar has shown promise as a soil amendment for improvement of agricultural and forest productivity, remediation of heavy metals, and sequestration of carbon, but has not yet been adopted for widespread use in any of these applications. By assessing the production potential as a carbon sequestration tool, and the stability...

Spatiotemporal Associations of Abundance and Vital Rates of Co-occurring Small Mammals in a Late Successional Forest

Creator:: Weldy, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Informed conservation of small mammals, ecosystems, and predators requires a detailed understanding of how small mammals species and communities vary in both space and time, as well as the relative cyclicity and synchrony of this variation. This variation can be especially informative to land managers interested in manipulating the abundance...

The effect of defoliation and nitrogen application on the seed yield of Linn perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L) and Merion Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L)

Creator:: Mulanax, Matthew William
Abstract:: The effect of clipping and supplemental nitrogen application on seed production of Linn perennial ryegrass and Merion Kentucky bluegrass was studied. Clipping and nitrogen treatments did not significantly affect the seed yield of Linn perennial ryegrass during the 1967 growing season. The seed yield of Merion Kentucky bluegrass was significantly...

Analysis of rip current embayments on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Dalon, Matthew M.
Abstract:: Understanding the past, present, and future behavior of our nation's shorelines is vital for sensible coastal management. Localized areas of erosion, termed "erosional hot spots", can shift the shoreline landward threatening coastal infrastructure (Kraus and Galgano, 2001; Stauble and Gravens, 2004; McNinch, 2004). One specific type of erosional hot spot...
