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...

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...

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...

An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

Creator:: Burk, Rene F.
Abstract:: Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

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...

Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

Creator:: Busche, Jacob A.
Abstract:: A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....
