  • A comparison of two resource evaluation models used for classifying primary and secondary resource lands in Jackson County Oregon

    Creator:
    Vial, John Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Since 1983, the Oregon legislature and the Land Conservation and Development Commission have been attempting to develop a process whereby secondary resource lands can be identified and designated. The most recent attempt at developing a secondary lands model was completed in 1990 and was tested in six Oregon Counties. Planners...

  • Evaluating a Zonal-mean Hydrologic Model Against a Water Tag-enabled Global Simulation

    Creator:
    Mandovi, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The hydrologic cycle on Earth comprises the transitions among the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of water. Understanding the hydrologic cycle is of course important for climate science, but also for agricultural, drinking water, and disaster preparedness purposes. Improvements in satellite observations and general circulation models (GCMs) have led to...

  • Ultraviolet photolysis of acetaminophen in a 3D printed continuous flow reactor

    Creator:
    Goetze, John M.
    Abstract:
    Finding renewable sources of agricultural fertilizer will be necessary to ensure a stable food supply for future generations. Phosphorus is of particular concern, since mining phosphate rock is the main source and reserves are forecasted to deplete in the next 50 – 200 years. Human urine contains substantial amounts of...

  • Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

    Creator:
    Huston, Alan C.
    Abstract:
    Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...

  • Carbon degradation and kinetics in a vanadium (4/5) electrolyte

    Creator:
    Cross, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    The advancement of the US energy grid is a necessary task to undertake as renewable energies like wind and solar power become more and more prevalent in our energy sector. However, due to uncontrollable factors such as wind speed and cloud cover, the intermittence of these energy sources continues to...

  • Surface composition age analysis of photo-oxidized polystyrene thin films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Silva, Nicholas A.
    Abstract:
    Polystyrene thin film surfaces are commonly used to study the interactions of macromolecules, such as proteins, with surfaces. Polystyrene films oxidized in UV light become more hydrophilic, however these surfaces have a limited shelf life because they are reduced over time. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of radiation...

  • Agricultural policy and productivity: evidence from Brazilian censuses

    Creator:
    Rada, Nicholas E. and Buccola, Steven T.
    Abstract:
    Brazil's economic strategy has shifted hesitatingly during the last several decades from one of producer protection to trade competitiveness. Exploiting the variations these shifts have afforded, we use a sequence of decennial agricultural censuses to examine Brazilian policy implications for agricultural competitiveness and efficiency. Total factor productivity is decomposed into...

  • Amorphous metal thin films as a platform for solution processing

    Creator:
    Landau, Nicholas P.
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein represents an effort to combine the ultra-smooth surface of an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) with a solution-processed dielectric synthesized via prompt inorganic condensation (PIC). Analysis of dielectric film quality is carried out via electrical measurements of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes. Anneals at 500 and 700 °C...

  • Direction, method, and model for implementing design for construction worker safety in the US

    Creator:
    Tymvios, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    The construction industry employs about 7% of the total US workforce, and yet it accounts for 15.7% of all occupational fatalities. Specifically in 2011, there were 721 deaths in construction, second only to transportation with 733. The cause of a large number of these construction deaths can be attributed to...

  • Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

    Creator:
    Miska, John
    Abstract:
    Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...
