  • Alternate Methods for the Extraction and Measurement of Pore Solution in Fresh Concrete

    Creator:
    Biever, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of the pore solution composition and pore solution resistivity can be helpful for determining the durability of concrete structures. Most notably, pore solution resistivity can be used in the calculation of the formation factor of concrete, which is a ratio of the electrical resistivities of concrete and its pore...

  • Salmon Management in Southeast Alaska: An Examination of Multi-Dimensional Management

    Creator:
    Chrittenden, Whitney L.
    Abstract:
    Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...

  • Design and Analysis of Free-space Optical Communications Systems for Next Generation Short-range Wireless Networks

    Creator:
    Liverman, Spencer
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on indoor free-space optical communications systems for use in short range wireless networks. We propose that current radio frequency wireless links be augmented or replaced with optical frequency links due to overcrowding in the radio frequency spectrum. Optical frequencies contain hundreds of terahertz of unregulated bandwidth and...

  • The Disinformation Dozen and Media Misinformation on Science and Vaccinations

    Creator:
    Mabrey, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the need for people to trust in medical science. With the need for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity but 30% have reported vaccine hesitancy, now more than ever do we need to redouble our efforts to ensure...

  • Boosting Intracellular Delivery of mRNA Therapeutics

    Creator:
    Patel, Siddharth D.
    Abstract:
    Intracellular delivery of mRNA holds great potential for vaccine and therapeutic discovery and development. This is realized by the preeminent role mRNA is playing in the record-breaking pace of SARS-CoV-19 vaccine development. Recent advances in chemical modifications of mRNA have enabled high-efficiency gene expression with superior spatiotemporal control while eliminating...

  • Application of Infrared Spectroscopy for Determination of Wood Natural Durability

    Creator:
    Lipeh, Shahlinney
    Abstract:
    Natural durability remains one of the most attractive characteristics of wood, and helps wood obtain a premium price. A worldwide shift towards the use of younger trees from intensively managed forests has created greater concerns about wood quality, especially the wood’s resistance to fungi and insects. Wood durability is assessed...

  • Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

    Creator:
    Goddard, Amanda L.
    Abstract:
    Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

  • Knowledge Appropriation and Inventive Productivity

    Creator:
    Choi, Yohan
    Abstract:
    Innovation is critical for firm growth and survival. Thus, how much value firms create and capture from their innovative activities has been an interest of scholars. This dissertation explores three important questions on this topic to which extant literature has paid little attention. First, I examine how the external threat...

  • Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

    Creator:
    Devan-Song, E. Anne
    Abstract:
    Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...
