Kinematics and Dynamics of a Model Eastern-boundary Poleward Undercurrent

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: A carefully calibrated primitive-equation model from 41°N to 48°N is used to study the poleward undercurrent off the US west coast. Chapter 2 describes poleward flow over the slope from Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives. The model is robust, in the sense of several characteristics being qualitatively consistent with observational and...

The provenance and trace element signatures of MORB anorthitic plagioclase

Creator:: Burleigh, Andrew W.
Abstract:: In an attempt to understand the phase equilibria and petrogenesis of MORB anorthitic plagioclase, Cr-spinel commonly hosted within anorthitic plagioclase has been investigated petrographically and compositionally. Based on spinel-anorthite relationships from three samples of plagioclase ultra-phyric basalt (PUB; Southeast Indian Ridge, Axial Seamount and West Valley Segment, Juan de Fuca...

Olivine and plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions and their application to determining parental arc magmas

Creator:: Kohut, Edward John
Abstract:: Three broadly interrelated problems of critical significance to the proper interpretation of melt inclusion (MI) data are addressed in this thesis. The first issue, the petrogenesis of anorthitic plagioclase phenocrysts in MORB lavas, has relevance due to the presence of numerous MI in many high-An feldspars. This problem was addressed...

Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

Creator:: Lange, Amy E.
Abstract:: Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

REHand: ReEngineering the human hand with differential mechanisms to improve hand function after tendon-transfer surgeries

Creator:: Mardula, Katherine L
Abstract:: Since the 1970s, tendon-transfer surgeries have been routinely performed for a variety of conditions such as stroke, paralysis, spinal atrophy, trauma, and birth defects. The surgery involves rerouting a tendon from a disabled muscle and directly suturing it to a functioning muscle in order to partially restore hand function. This...

Quantification of the temperature, pressure and compositional dependence of trace element partitioning : an experimental and theoretical study

Creator:: Cunningham, Jennifer Lynn
Abstract:: The thermodynamic history of the Earth is preserved in the trace element record created through igneous processes. The ability to interpret that record depends on the accuracy and precision of numerical models that connect igneous processes with their geochemical consequences. This project answers three major questions concerning the relationship between...

Does the Type of Licensure Affect the CPAs' Ethical Framework?

Creator:: Conan, Michael
Abstract:: Moral reasoning ability is a measure of the stage of development of an individual along a theoretical scale through which one moves over the course of their lifetime, developed by Lawrence Kohlberg and further modified by James Rest, who’s revised Defining Issues Test (DIT-2) will be used for our study....

A comprehensive integration of first year engineering education

Creator:: Shuman, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Retention of engineering students is a problem for many universities, especially during the first year. The problem of introducing students to engineering while increasing retention rates has recently been addressed by many different universities. Implementing novel lab structures, adjusting the lecture to incorporate more effective teaching techniques, and using orientation...

Understanding Wildfire Mitigation Behavior of Central Oregon Homeowners

Creator:: Roper, Dan
Abstract:: A history of fire suppression, growth in the wildland-urban interface, and changing climate conditions, have created a fire regime in central Oregon that is growing in severity and intensity, putting more people and structures at risk and requiring a greater percentage of state and federal agency budgets to manage fires....
