A GIS investigation of indigenous intensification of native food plants : humans as environmental variable in maxent habitat suitability modeling of Camassia in Oregon

Creator:: Elliott, Braden T.
Abstract:: This thesis merges the fields of Ecology and Anthropology by applying Habitat Suitability Modeling to the relationship between people and plants in the Pacific Northwest. In it, I create and optimize two Maxent habitat suitability models for camas (Camassia spp.) in Oregon. The first model describes the physical environment of...

What Do We Mean by "Justice"?: An Examination of How Justice is Conceptualized in K-12 Mathematics Education

Creator:: Brunner, Megan E.
Abstract:: Issues of injustice in society (e.g. racism, classism, sexism, ableism) are perpetuated in and through educational opportunities, including mathematics learning (Freire, 1970/2000). Those that are committed to disrupting the interlocking systems that create disparities and oppression in mathematics education are considered to be “pursuing justice.” Pursuit of justice can involve...

A vacant industrial site survey for the Corvallis, Oregon urban area

Creator:: Elliott, Gerald E.
Abstract:: There is a considerable amount of vacant land zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is misleading, as only 77.50...

Investigating Relationships between Outdoor Recreation Activities, EnvironmentalWorldviews, and Place of Residence

Creator:: Finn, Elliott Chad
Abstract:: Some evidence suggests a connection between outdoor recreation participation and stronger environmental worldviews. This study finds little evidence supporting participation in outdoor recreation activities and stronger environmental worldviews and some evidence supporting a weak connection between appreciative outdoor recreation and stronger environmental worldviews. Additionally, the study documents greater participation in...

Cooperative product development between researchers and commercial fishermen to find applications for ocean condition forecasting technology

Creator:: Duncan, Colin
Abstract:: This is a case study of the cooperative development of an ocean condition forecasting tool by Oregon commercial fishermen, Oregon State University (OSU) scientists, and OSU student software engineers. Ocean condition forecasting models developed by OSU scientists were used to create an online tool to assist decision-making for fishermen. This...

Does Fatigue Influence the Assessment of Critical Speed when Multiple Test Trials are Conducted in a Single Session

Creator:: Jones, Cameron
Abstract:: The Critical Power - W’ model has many advantages compared to the traditional VO2max test, including tracking fitness changes over time in well trained athletes, predicting performances due to its discrete aerobic and high intensity tolerance variables, and prescribing exercise intensities with increased accuracy. However, a major disadvantage of this...

Waving Arms to Teach & Learn Quantum Mechanics

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...

Locally grown alternative feed ingredients in turkey diets

Creator:: Sulaiman, Kurdman Mohammed Ali
Abstract:: In recent years, small poultry producers have been interested in finding an alternative for corn and soybean for a variety of reasons. Health concerns related to either naturally occurring isoflavones (phytoestrogens) or their genetically modified organism (GMO) status are the primary considerations behind this trend. Secondly, the recent high prices...

Lichen Studies of Tropical Dry Forest: A Systematic and Ecological Approach

Creator:: Miranda-González, Ricardo
Abstract:: In recent years, our ecological knowledge of tropical dry forests has increased dramatically. However, whole components of the ecosystem, like lichenized fungi, remain mostly unknown. Crustose lichens in these forests are so abundant, that they are responsible for the characteristic appearance of a “white bark forest” during the dry season....

Spatial Association of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and their Prey in the Southern Gulf of Maine, USA

Creator:: Kirchner, Theresa
Abstract:: Efficient foraging strategies result in a predator spatially overlapping with its prey, foraging in the most profitable patches, and minimizing the time transiting between patches. Previous studies investigating baleen whale foraging strategies have generally focused on investigating spatial overlap with prey patches, patch profitability or movement within feeding grounds. The...
