A seasonal study of sediment reworking by Neotrypaea californiensis in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Fritz, Cara E.
Abstract:: A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...

Impacts of Prior Risk Experience and Personal Values on Support for Climate Change Policies

Creator:: Dwyer, Kiera M.
Abstract:: In 2020, Oregon suffered one of the worst wildfire seasons on record, with a higher percent of forest area burn, the destruction of residential areas, and the risk to human health. The level of intensity of these wildfires were due to the effects of climate change and Oregon wildfire seasons...

Evaluating downstream channel changes in response to a small dam removal on the Calapooia River, Oregon with respect to measurement errors and prior aerial photo observed changes

Creator:: Walter, Cara
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of aerial photos as a substitute for multiple-year pre-removal field data to assess the downstream channel changes associated with a small dam removal. The Brownsville Dam, a 2.1 m tall concrete dam on the Calapooia River, Oregon, was removed in...

The photoelastic coating method applied to the stress analysis of wood

Creator:: Fritz, Dennis William
Abstract:: The merits of the photoelastic coating technique as applied to wood were evaluated. Comparative tests were made on 12 nominal two-by-four Douglas Fir boards. The object of these tests was to determine the limitations of this technique, such as accuracy and complexity of experimental procedure. Correlation of the experimental results...

New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Creator:: Fritz-Endres, Theresa
Abstract:: The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

Performance Evaluation of Air Shocks Implemented in a Formula Student Vehicle

Creator:: Fritz, Tim
Abstract:: The Formula Student Team Global Formula Racing from Oregon State University implemented an air suspension system in their 2017 combustion powered vehicle, mainly to save weight. This thesis covers the performance evaluation of such system by comparison to conventional coil over shocks. Utilizing two different Formula Student style courses, three...

Fingerprinting, reproductive behavior and pollinator dynamics of Buddleja davidii and interspecific hybrids

Creator:: Still, Cara M.
Abstract:: Buddleja davidii (butterfly bush) is a highly adaptable landscape plant known for pollinator attraction. Unfortunately, it is also regarded as an invasive plant in highly disturbed environments across the globe. It is an invasive species in Oregon, officially classified as a class B noxious weed in 2004. Currently the state...

Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

Creator:: Benfield, Cara D.
Abstract:: Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

Cooperation and conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing

Creator:: Wilder, Cara N.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium as well as an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals, including those suffering from cystic fibrosis. The density-dependent regulation of gene expression via cell-to-cell communication, also termed quorum sensing (QS), is an important virulence determinant in this organism. Generally, P. aeruginosa uses three...

Efficacy of Sanitizers at Controlling Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes When Challenged with Variables Commonly Encountered in Food Processing Environments

Creator:: Boucher, Cara
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a pathogenic bacterium associated with the foodborne disease listeriosis in humans. Listeriosis affects thousands of people in the U.S. yearly, with neonates, elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons disproportionately affected. Lm has a high mortality rate in these populations (20 - 30%) with symptoms including septicemia,...
