Relative heat sensitivities and the potential for soil solarization to remediate nursery beds infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Weidman, Clara Suzanne
Abstract:: Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...

Assessing Chemical Dispersants Used During the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill : Method Innovation and Application

Creator:: Perkins, Matt J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of the chemical oil dispersant Corexit were applied in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Large data gaps regarding the potential transport, persistence and impact of Corexit in the Gulf existed at the time of the emergency response. Analytical methods for...

The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

Creator:: Bodle, Ernie
Abstract:: Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

An Evental Romanticism

Creator:: Webster, Austin
Abstract:: The Romantic period sits in a liminal historical space when radically different ideas about the categories of past, future, progress, and change coexisted in popular consciousness. The French Revolution inaugurated the concept of an Event, something that appears to come out of nowhere, and that not even the most well-informed...

Role of a grass riparian zone in controlling the fate of nitrogen in a poorly drained agricultural landscape

Creator:: Davis, Jennifer H.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems, through their unique positions in the agricultural landscape, have the potential to mitigate nutrient loading to streams. This study was conducted to gain a better understanding of N cycling in a poorly drained Grass Riparian Zone (GRZ) and adjacent Perennial Ryegrass seed Field (PRF) in the Willamette Valley,...
