An Analysis of the Economic Benefits of MSC Certification for the South African Hake Fishery

Creator:: Purves, Martin, Lallemand, Philippe, Venter, Cobus, Bergh, Mike, Thompson, Ernst, and Hansen, Margaret
Abstract:: Ecolabelling has become an essential component of the global sustainable seafood trade. The MSC is currently the world leader in certification and ecolabelling programs for wild capture fisheries. While the environmental benefits of certification have been widely recognised, its economic benefits are often anecdotal or unknown. The South African hake...

Differences in Taste Responses between Tongue Regions

Creator:: Colvin, Julie L.
Abstract:: Due to a combination of misinterpretation and misleading illustration, the premise of a “tongue map”, which indicated that sweetness could only be detected at the front of the tongue and bitterness could only be detected on the back, became wide spread. In fact, all taste qualities can be detected on...

ReidJLeightonForestryPREDICTSDatabaseGlobal.pdf

Creator:: Hudson, Lawrence N., Newbold, Tim, Contu, Sara, Reid, J. Leighton, and et al.
Abstract:: Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...

Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

Creator:: Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
Abstract:: Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...

Glacial to holocene watermass and continental weathering reconstructions from the Southeast Pacific

Creator:: Muratli, Jesse M.
Abstract:: Sediments of the central Chile margin record changes in ocean circulation and continental erosion associated with large–scale climate change. Here Antarctic– influenced Southern Ocean currents flow equatorward, forming a link between the high– and low–latitude oceans. Part of this link, Antarctic Intermediate Water, is an important conduit that ventilates South...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Hemolysis Potential in a Microfluidic Hemoperfusion Device Designed for Use in Sepsis Treatment

Creator:: Myers, Karl N.
Abstract:: The potential of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet damage was studied for a novel microfluidic hemoperfusion device currently in development at Oregon State University for use in treating sepsis. COMSOL 4.4's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module was used to examine shear rate profiles in laminar, Newtonian blood flow throughout...

Assessing and Finding Faults in AI: Two Empirical Studies

Creator:: Khanna, Roli
Abstract:: With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in every sphere of life in today's day and age, it has become increasingly important for non-AI experts to be able to comprehend the underlying logic of how AI systems work, assess them and find faults in these systems, particularly when they are...

Design of a 3-D Printed Eye Model for Quantification and Analysis of Retinal Image Distortion in the Ophthalmic Plaque Brachytherapy Treatment Planning Process

Creator:: Smith, Lauren D.
Abstract:: Ophthalmic plaque brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation treatment for uveal melanoma, the most common eye cancer in adults. During treatment, a plaque containing radioactive seeds is surgically attached to the sclera, directly adjacent to the ocular tumor site. Plaque Simulator™ is an eye plaque brachytherapy planning software that...

Teacher Math Anxiety and Math Instructional Time

Creator:: Morton, Heidi L.
Abstract:: The scientific way of knowing, which results in tremendous advancements in our society, heavily depends on the use of mathematics. Given that math touches nearly every aspect of peoples’ lives in different ways, it is critical that today’s students and tomorrow’s citizens have a solid understanding of math. Unfortunately, a...

Emotional responses to a sustainable interior environment and a non-sustainable interior environment

Creator:: Northup, Reade B.
Abstract:: This study focused on users' emotional responses to a sustainable and a non-sustainable interior environment. Emotional reactions toward interior environments were tested by having subjects complete a survey. The survey tested users' emotional reactions with a mixed methods approach by including both qualitative and quantitative questions. The scope of this...
