  • Subsistence in Alaska : With an in-depth look at the Upper Copper River Fishery

    Creator:
    McCormick, Mary B.
    Abstract:
    Subsistence hunting and fishing in Alaska is a political, social, and cultural issue. Since statehood in 1959 the state of Alaska has managed fish and wildlife resources on all its lands. But because the state has been unable to come into compliance with federal regulations mandating a subsistence rural priority,...

  • A Sticky Problem: Identifying the Barriers to the Adoption of Fats, Oils, and Grease as an Energy Feedstock in Oregon

    Creator:
    Davidson, Ian T.
    Abstract:
    This study investigates the barriers faced by fats, oil, and grease (FOG) as an energy feedstock in the state of Oregon. FOG, which typically originates in food service establishments (FSEs), historically has been treated as waste, yet it also has the chemical make up to be an energy feedstock in...

  • Assessment of Extraterrestrial Tracers Ir, Pt and ³He in Polar Ice Cores

    Creator:
    Mehmel, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the investigation of extraterrestrial tracers Ir, Pt and 3He in polar ice cores. These tracers may be used to identify characteristics of interplanetary dust particles, and to quantify the flux of extraterrestrial material during impact events, certain volcanic eruptions, and stable background periods. In the first...

  • Surface water variation and water storage potential in Upper Klamath Basin, 2000-2012

    Creator:
    Tanner, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...

  • Publicly Funded, Privately Assisted : The Role of Giving in Oregon K-12 Education

    Creator:
    Sattem, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    In Oregon, property tax revolts and school equalization measures have led to increasingly unstable and more non-discretionary public funding for schools. As a result, public schools are turning to private donations to provide both basic and supplemental educational opportunities. Some schools and districts are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars,...

  • Stable isotope probing of the ovine rumen for RDX degrading microorganisms

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Edward A.
    Abstract:
    The anaerobic and highly reductive conditions found in the ovine rumen are considered favorable for the degradation of the nitroaromatic explosives such as hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). In this study, we used stable-isotope-probing to determine the bacteria responsible for the degradation of RDX in the rumen. Results indicate 10 μg mL⁻¹ (45...

  • Characterization of flow boiling in a fractal–like branching microchannel network

    Creator:
    Edward, Lee M.
    Abstract:
    Based on experimental investigations the present study evaluates flow instability and void fraction in a fractal-like branching microchannel network with rectangular cross-section. The hydraulic diameter of the channels ranged from 308μm at the inlet to 143μm at the outlet. The flow network used is characterized by set branching ratios for...

  • A study of the ergonomics of emergency stop pushbuttons

    Creator:
    Zárate, Patricia B.
    Abstract:
    Emergency stop controls are essential parts of industrial machinery because they are designed to stop the operation in case of emergencies without risks to operators, equipment, products, or facilities. Current guidelines for emergency stop controls have been formulated based on experience but not on empirical studies. The main objectives of...

    Creator:
    Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
    Abstract:
    Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

  • Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

    Creator:
    Brunot, Alexander N.
    Abstract:
    The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...
