Wheeled Mobility Devices Performance and Passive Securement Systems

Creator:: Mather, Andrea
Abstract:: Wheeled mobility devices (WhMD) pose unique safety risks to users while riding public transportation. Unsecured or improperly secured WhMDs create safety concerns for other transit riders and operators. Tests using accelerometers and visual observations were conducted to understand how WhMD orientation and securement in articulated buses, streetcars, and light rail...

The use of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in assessing changes in stream morphology and vegetation

Creator:: Laliberte, Andrea S.
Abstract:: Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are well known tools for the study of time change analysis in natural systems. However, long-term studies of riparian systems using large-scale aerial photography are less common. The purpose of this project was to combine large scale aerial photography, GIS, Global Positioning Systems...

Letting Our Students Speak: Enriching the Discourse about Feminist Pedagogy in the Virtual Classroom

Creator:: Hugmeyer, Andrea Doyle
Abstract:: The increasingly corporatized and privatized public university has resulted in significant role changes for students and faculty. Among these changes includes the development of online education and its proliferation among various disciplines to not only increase educational access, but to sustain budgetary program needs. Such processes are occurring in women's...

Abrupt deglacial climate changes in the North Pacific and implications for climate tipping points

Creator:: Praetorius, Summer Kate
Abstract:: Paleoclimate archives have revealed abrupt climate events that are superimposed on more gradual climate changes throughout the last glacial and deglacial periods. The underlying causes of such rapid climate changes are still poorly understood, but the strong expression of these events in northern hemisphere records likely points to climatic mechanisms...

Applications in plant breeding : end-use quality, tissue culture propagation systems, and outreach for K-12 education

Creator:: Halstead, Margaret A.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of five chapters: a general introduction, two manuscripts, a collection of published lesson plans, and a general conclusion. The works collected herein are united by the common theme of practical applications in plant breeding. The first manuscript reports a study performed on five malting barley lines grown...

Serologic survey of infectious disease agents in black bears (Ursus americanus) of California, Oregon, and Washington

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: The causes of natural mortality and disease in free ranging black bears, Ursus americanus, in California, Oregon, and Washington are poorly known. Life history components, such as scavenging and overlapping habitat with many species of carnivores, potentially expose bears to a wide range of infectious disease agents. To date, no...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:: Torres-Andrade, Paola A.
Abstract:: Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Fuel Treatment Longevity in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Morici, Kat
Abstract:: Wildland fires are an increasingly extensive, expensive, and frequent occurrence in dry forests of the western United States. Fuel reduction treatments are designed to reduce extreme fire behavior, promote resilient forest structure, and facilitate fire control efforts. Although there is widespread recognition that repeated treatments are needed to maintain desired...

Direct and indirect effects of livestock grazing intensity on processes regulating grassland bird populations

Creator:: Johnson, Tracey N.
Abstract:: In grasslands, grazing by large ungulates can influence vegetation structure, composition, primary productivity, and ultimately, ecosystem functioning. While grazing represents a complex disturbance, grazing intensity largely determines the effects of grazing on vegetation. Structural and compositional changes in the plant community caused by grazing could have bottom-up effects on species...

Using local climate to explain temporal variation in rare plant populations

Creator:: Pfingsten, Ian A.
Abstract:: Increased temperatures due to anthropogenic-induced climate change may raise the threat of extinction for taxa with sessile life histories (e.g., plants) in the near future. Linking climate change models to demographic models may provide useful insights into the potential effects of environmental changes on rare plants, and therefore aid in...

Voices of CALYX: Narratives of Feminist Publishing Activism, 1976-2006

Creator:: Steuben, Marieke L.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the nature of publishing as a political endeavor through a detailed investigation of the feminist publishing movement in the U.S. since the 1970s. Feminist publishers emerged from an activist context of feminist struggle, and they evolved within changing political and social climates, facing ideological and economic challenges...

Satellite Monitoring of Earth’s Surface Temperature : Effects of Land Cover, Disturbance, and a Changing Climate

Creator:: Mildrexler, David J.
Abstract:: The Earth’s surface is experiencing unprecedented change. Humanity’s growing population, expanding land-use footprint, and increasing global emissions of atmospheric greenhouse gases affect a vast number of species on Earth and the functioning of virtually all ecosystems. Given the vital interactions and feedbacks between the Earth’s land surface and climate, measurements...

When she was bad : framing female killers in contemporary film

Creator:: Finch, Kurstin
Abstract:: This thesis presents an analysis of seventeen contemporary blockbuster films in which women kill people. The purpose of the analysis is to discover the "frames" with which film producers, directors, scriptwriters and actors portray women in film. The thesis first establishes the model in use in the analysis: Entman's model...

Restructuring of land and community in the remote rural west : the case of Wallowa County, Oregon

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse
Abstract:: Since at least the 1970s, rural areas in the western United States, as elsewhere across the country and world, have been subject to social, economic, and political forces that have resulted in novel demographic and land tenure trends when compared to previous decades. Collectively, these processes of restructuring have created...
