  • Fitzgerald’s idealism and the question of wealth

    Creator:
    Wood, Amy
    Abstract:
    In This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and several of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald questions the importance of wealth as a factor in supporting happiness and fostering the American Dream on an individual basis. With these texts, Fitzgerald acknowledges that wealth is a factor and, simultaneously, a...

  • Finite element modeling of gusset plate failure using OpenSees

    Creator:
    Walker, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

  • Juvenile Rockfish (Sebastes spp.) Community Composition and Habitat use of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Amy J.
    Abstract:
    Estuaries, which provide viable habitat for a plethora of fish and invertebrate species, are being increasingly impacted by anthropogenic and natural forces. Estuaries are important nursery habitat for young-of-the-year (YOY) Pacific rockfish (Sebastes spp.). Yaquina Bay, a marine-dominated estuary on the central Oregon Coast, served as a study site for...

  • The j-Function and the Monster

    Creator:
    Scherer, Asa
    Abstract:
    The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...

  • How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

    Creator:
    Avila, Alexandra M.
    Abstract:
    Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...

  • Response Sensitivity Formulations for Geometrically Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

    Creator:
    Al-Aukaily, Alabbas
    Abstract:
    Significant amounts of uncertainty owing to both modeling decisions and inherent randomness are present in simulating the material and geometric nonlinear response of structural systems to extreme loading. Computing the sensitivity of structural response with respect to model parameters indicates which parameters have the largest affect on the response, which...

  • Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

    Creator:
    Calvanese, Thomas P.
    Abstract:
    The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

  • Chasing Green: A Multiple Streams Analysis of Oregon’s Measure 91

    Creator:
    Levering, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Over the past three years recreational cannabis legalization has emerged as a major policy issue in the United States. The novelty of this movement has created a gap in the state of literature focusing on the examination of cannabis legalization policy processes. Using a two-pronged Multiple Streams approach, this study...

  • Alternative approaches to psychosis : qualitative interviews of practitioner opinions and observations

    Creator:
    Donnerberg, Carmen
    Abstract:
    The present essay discusses themes of dehumanization and reliance on a biomedical model of care within U.S. psychiatric systems in treating individuals diagnosed with psychosis. This model is contrasted with alternative treatment approaches that are person-centered rather than disease-centered. These include Open Dialogue, Soteria, and Hearing Voices Movement. In the...

  • Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

    Creator:
    Kumari, Pooja
    Abstract:
    Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...
