Placement of felled western juniper trees over a stream channel : Effects on water temperature, streamside willow shrubs, and redband trout

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: All streams in Oregon that are inhabited by salmon and trout have a statemandated water temperature standard. However, temperatures of many streams, especially during summer months, exceed the seven-day average maximum temperature parameter (200 C for redband trout inhabited streams) accepted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. To date,...

An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...

Potential effects of the invasive grass Ventenata dubia on elk habitat selection within the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range

Creator:: Crum, Keren-happuch R.
Abstract:: The invasive annual grass ventenata (Ventenata dubia) has become an increasing problem within western rangelands. Forage quality of areas infested with ventenata is reduced as its high silica content makes it unpalatable to livestock and wildlife. In the following study, I examined whether significant presence of ventenata affects habitat use...

Perceptions of volunteering and community service : voices of post-secondary remedial completer

Creator:: Blakely, Randall G.
Abstract:: Although community colleges have emphasized service-learning programs for traditional students, by in large, non-traditional students from post-secondary remedial programs have not been involved. This lack of reaching post-secondary remedial programs may be of particular interest to college personnel who may not be aware of the need to include service activities...

The Influence of Stormwater Water Quality on the Adsorption of Copper and Zinc onto Five Different Sorbents

Creator:: Kanalos, Casey A.
Abstract:: Best Management Practices (BMP) are widely used as a method for stormwater volume control in urban areas to prevent an overload of water on receiving water bodies and treatment facilities. BMPs ability to treat stormwater has gone under critical review in the last few decades, and their performance varies both...

Vegetation and soil response to tree removal methods in invasive western juniper woodlands

Creator:: O'Connor, Casey A.
Abstract:: On piñon-juniper encroached sites that lack the understory fuels to carry a prescribed fire, treatment options are limited to mechanical methods. Cutting with chainsaws and leaving the trees on site has been the primary treatment method for such sites, however this method creates a potential fire hazard, particularly in the...

Bowling Together: The Making of a Documentary

Creator:: Campbell, Casey R.
Abstract:: In an attempt to better understand documentary theory and production, I created Bowling Together; a documentary recounting the experiences of one bowling team and looking at the relationship between participation in bowling leagues and civil society. This thesis provided me a first-hand experience at producing a documentary, allowing me to...

The Challenges and Opportunities of a Proactive Endangered Species Act : A Case Study of the Greater Sage Grouse

Creator:: Taylor, Casey Lynn
Abstract:: The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) is considered by many to be among the most powerful and most contentious environmental laws in the United States. Persistent challenges to the Act’s implementation make reaching conservation goals problematic. Most notably, the very nature of the law—providing protections for species already at...

DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

Creator:: Kernan, Casey P.
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...

High pressure condensation heat transfer in the evacuated containment of a small modular reactor

Creator:: Casey, Jason R.
Abstract:: At Oregon State University the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) integral effects testing facility is being prepared for safety analysis matrix testing in support of the NuScale Power Inc. (NSP) design certification progress. The facility will be used to simulate design basis accident performance of the reactor's safety systems....
