Forests on the Move: Forest Inventories and Wood Anatomy from the Fragmented Forests of Guairá, Paraguarí, and Central, Paraguay

Creator:: Cervantes, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Forest composition in Paraguay has been in a state of change for the past half century due to land management practices, forest fragmentation, and deforestation for agriculture. How these factors affect dendrological diversity and wood anatomy in Paraguay is not well understood. This thesis documents Paraguayan forest composition on the...

Temperature Evolution of Nonreacting Spark Kernels at Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

Creator:: Caplan, Daniel L.
Abstract:: In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety. Ignition at high altitude can be challenging, due in part to the potentially lower ambient pressures. An understanding of the effects of sub-atmospheric pressures on the temperature evolution of spark kernels is...

Bacteriophages Significantly Reduce Mortality of Larval Pacific Oysters Crassostrea gigas from Infection by the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus RE98

Creator:: Madison, David B.
Abstract:: Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor) is a bacterial pathogen that is well adapted to shellfish hatcheries and is very pathogenic to the larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Vcor has been associated with several large scale larval mortality events in the Pacific Northwest that interrupt the supply of seed oysters available...

The Effects of Tank Structure and Egg Size on the Production of Wild Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Surrogate Fish

Creator:: Self, Katharine E.
Abstract:: One of the biggest hurdles for a juvenile salmonid (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is migrating downstream from freshwater spawning grounds to the ocean. Juveniles from wild broodstock were reared from the South Santiam River for more than 1 year at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center (OHRC) in Alsea, OR. The fish were...

Rational Madmen : Monomania in Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark” and Stedman’s “How Old Brown Took Harpers Ferry”

Creator:: Green, Paisley
Abstract:: In this project, I explore the use of monomania as a literary and rhetorical device that pathologizes deviance from certain norms—in this case, sexual and political norms— and allows for contradiction, dissonance, and reform. Using Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark” and Edmund Clarence Stedman’s poem “How Old Brown Took...

Wild Waters : Perspectives on Oregon’s Marine Reserves as Marine Wilderness Areas

Creator:: Johnston, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: Designation of areas as marine wilderness has been proposed as a strategy for managing the increasing threats facing the world’s oceans. Although social factors influence marine protected area success, the human dimensions of marine wilderness remain minimally explored. This thesis examines views of marine wilderness expressed by a representative sample...

Interactive player tracking for videos in American football

Creator:: Bawaskar, Amit
Abstract:: This thesis presents an interactive software tool for tracking a moving object in a video. In particular, we focus on the problem of tracking a player in American football videos. Object tracking is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision. It is one of the most important components in...

Behavioral thresholds in mixtures of sand and clay

Creator:: Simpson, Daniel Corder
Abstract:: Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced (and in some cases, governed) by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. A better understanding of the fundamental behavior of soil mixtures will provide insight to...

Perceptions of protection : coastal resident cognitions concerning new marine reserves in Oregon

Creator:: Perry, Elizabeth E.
Abstract:: Protected area creation, including creation of marine reserves (MRs), is increasingly molded by ecosystem based management (EBM) that integrates biological and social information in the pre and post establishment phases. Collecting social data from large and representative samples of the public (as opposed to other stakeholder groups) before establishing a...

Reproductive success and foraging ecology of the rusty blackbird on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Loomis, David M.
Abstract:: The Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) has suffered significant population declines across its entire geographic range and the mechanisms associated with this decline are poorly understood. Although much of the Rusty Blackbird breeding habitat in Alaska has remained relatively unaltered by anthropogenic activities, this species continues to decline by an estimated...
