Creating a Predictive Model of Cinder Cone Evolution in Central Oregon

Creator:: Das-Toke, Shyam P.
Abstract:: Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. This is largely because cinder cones are produced by monogenetic eruptions. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age...

Exceeding the standards: The benefits of place-based environmental education in schools

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca W.
Abstract:: There is a growing body of research that describes the benefits of place-based environmental education (EE) within the schools, including improved competencies, better interpersonal skills, decreased gaps in social divides, increased pupil engagement in learning, increased community awareness, and increased environmental stewardship. Though the benefits are many, few schools utilize...

Optical Modelling of Thin Films: Applying Effective Medium Theory to Mixtures of TiO₂ and SnO₂

Creator:: Wulf, Julian J.
Abstract:: This study used SCOUT optical modelling software to create models of the reflectance and transmittance spectra generated by mixtures of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and tin oxide (SnO2). These models enabled identification of how altering the ratio of a mixture changes the optical response. By being able to identify how altering...

Apples [1998]

Creator:: Righetti, Timothy L., Wilder, Kris, Stebbins, Robert, Burkhart, David J., Hart, John, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Observations of annual growth and size and color of leaves and fruit are helpful in determining fertilizer needs. In addition, leaf analysis indicates which elements are present in adequate, deficient, or excessive amounts. Soil analysis is useful in predicting the need for lime applications. Suspect a nutrient deficiency if poor...

An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

Computational Approaches for Understanding Combinatorial Gene Regulation

Creator:: Ansariola, Mitra
Abstract:: Gene regulation is a complex mechanism that controls the spatial and temporal expression of genes in a living cell. My dissertation studies focus on two problems. First, tissue-specific gene expression prediction from DNA sequence and chromatin state, and second, the accurate discovery of small over-represented regulatory circuits in gene regulatory...

Planning for the Future Forest on the Northern Shawangunk Ridge: Climate-Adaptive Disturbance Preparedness and Response Recommendations

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Mohonk Preserve intends to manage their forestland more actively with the mission of promoting forest health, climate-adaptation, and overall ecosystem health for the benefit of their community and recreational users. Climate-adaptive management recommendations (recommendations that address climate change vulnerabilities —by promoting either resistance, resilience, or transition— while helping to meet...

A Style Analysis of Army Doctrine Publications

Creator:: Frier, Don
Abstract:: This project performs a style analysis of three sentences from three military manuals written across an 80 year time-period. I first discuss the history of style within academic discourse and how it has impacted the study of style within the field of writing and rhetoric. Using this background, I then...

Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

Creator:: Khalife, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...
