  • Sediment Pulse Behavior in Gravel-bedded Rivers

    Creator:
    Pace, Kylie M.
    Abstract:
    As dams approach the end of their useful life, there is need to predict where and how accumulated sediment will move following their removal to estimate impacts on aquatic habitat and infrastructure. Flume studies suggest that sediment pulses disperse in place for most dams, but it is hypothesized that a...

  • Analysis of particulate organic matter distribution along surface waters of the California Current

    Creator:
    Welch, Kylie
    Abstract:
    Water samples along the Washington, Oregon and California coastline were collected using high resolution sampling and analyzed to determine particulate organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Over 28 days during August 2011, nearly 1500 samples were collected aboard the R/V Wecoma (W1108C) using a semi-automated filtration system. Additional subsurface samples were...

  • Environmental Transformations in Hydrophobicity of TiO2 P-25 Nanoparticles in Alsea River Waters

    Creator:
    Boenisch, Kylie
    Abstract:
    Hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are prevalent in industry and manufacturing. They are known for their white pigmentation, are found in sunscreens, paints, cosmetics, and are frequently used in wastewater treatment. Understanding the physicochemical properties of TiO2 P-25 NPs, such as hydrophobicity, are essential when determining their fate, transport,...

  • When Survivors Give Birth With a Doula: A Medical Narrative Analysis

    Creator:
    Tyler, Kylie A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to examine how trauma can be manifested during birth, as well as the tools non-clinical labor support professionals called doulas can provide. I aimed to analyze the first-hand experiences of two mothers with a history of trauma, taking note of the perceived benefits of...

  • The effect of PACE on self-reported anxiety and performance in first year nursing students

    Creator:
    Irving, Jan Louise
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was (a) to determine the effect of a four-step learner readiness profile: positive, active, clear, and energetic (PACE) on self-reported anxiety in first year nursing students before skill performance tests, and (b) to determine the effect of PACE on the performance of first year nursing...

  • Influence of the Environment and Morphology on Physiological and Genomic Homeostasis in a Temperate Cnidarian-microbe Symbiosis

    Creator:
    Koch, Jack C.
    Abstract:
    Climate change and other anthropogenic impacts are threatening the existence of millions of species around the globe. On western continental boundaries, the large-scale secondary process of upwelling, which brings low pH, deoxygenated, high nutrient seawater to the surface, is compounded by climate change, that together could drive some species to...

  • An Ecoregion-Based Reference Condition and Classification Scheme for Determining Nutrient Criteria in Oregon Lakes

    Creator:
    Brenner, Jacqueline M.
    Abstract:
    The anthropogenic introduction of nutrients to water bodies has been shown to alter the structure and function of natural aquatic ecosystems, yet national EPA lake and reservoir nutrient criteria remain too broad for effective regional water quality management. This study uses a reference site approach to propose numeric nutrient criteria...

  • Pre-service physical education teachers’ attitudes toward, and use of, handheld technology

    Creator:
    Wegis, Heidi M.
    Abstract:
    A current trend in educational reform requires teachers to be proficient in employing technology in their classrooms. As a result of this trend, teachers need to be prepared to integrate technology into their teaching, and teacher preparation programs have a responsibility to prepare their students accordingly. The handheld computer (PDA)...

  • Top-down Influences of bald eagles on common murre populations in Oregon

    Creator:
    Horton, Cheryl A.
    Abstract:
    Populations of organisms are influenced by both top-down (predator driven) and bottom-up (environment or resource driven) effects. Seabird research has largely focused on bottom-up factors influencing reproduction, with little emphasis on top-down. Our goal was to better understand top-down impacts on colonial nesting seabirds over a range of spatio-temporal scales....
