An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

Creator:: Coe, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...

Pre- and Post-settlement Processes of Northern Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) in Relation to Interannual Variability in Temperature and Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...

The philosophies of leadership, management, and authority : how they’re different, and why we so often get it wrong

Creator:: Sundberg, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Recent studies have shown that there is a significant amount of dissatisfaction and stress associated with finances, job security, and work. There are many health related consequences that manifest in response to this continual stress that we experience in our professional lives. These include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,...

Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Duncan, Corinne M.
Abstract:: Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...

A comparison of early marine residence in hatchery and natural Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Claiborne, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The mechanisms of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well-understood and, for many species, it is not clear if the mechanisms are similar for naturally and artificially propagated individuals. For Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), natural fish potentially face negative interactions, such as competition, and survival disadvantages, such...

Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Archer, Pamela Emily
Abstract:: Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Detection of Native Lampreys in Central Valley California: A Starting Point

Creator:: Parker, Christina M.
Abstract:: Native lamprey species in the Central Valley of California serve important ecological roles in rivers and tributaries and face similar conservation challenges as salmonids. Concerns of declining lamprey populations have led to collaboration of tribes, local, state, and federal agencies to increase understanding of ecology and life history. Pacific Lamprey...

Sandy beach surf zones : what is their role in the early life history of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)?

Creator:: Marin Jarrin, Jose R.
Abstract:: Early life stages of many marine and diadromous fish species use sandy beach surf zones, which occur along >50% of the world's marine coastlines. This extensive habitat can provide juvenile fishes with an abundant supply of potential prey and the ability to hide from predators in its shallow turbid waters....

Trophically transmitted parasites as ecosystem indicators : relationships among parasite community structure, juvenile salmon diet composition, and ocean conditions

Creator:: Losee, James P.
Abstract:: Recent research conducted throughout the Northern California Current (NCC) on the ecology of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) indicates that variable ocean conditions affect the community composition of zooplankton in the nearshore environment which, in turn, can affect the quality of prey for fish, sea birds and mammals. Interannual variability in...
