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...

Turnover, Memory, Persistence: Four Decades of Ecological Community at Lost Valley

Creator:: Bruno, Mark P.
Abstract:: This study is an ethnographic investigation of residential turnover, organizational memory, and the persistence of Lost Valley, an Oregon ecovillage founded in 1989. Literature on organizational turnover, memory, and persistence is reviewed and integrated with scholarship on intentional communities and ecovillages, generating a theoretical framework for data collection and analysis....

Paleoseismic Record of Peninsula Segment Earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault near San Francisco, CA and possible NSAF linkage to Cascadia

Creator:: Goldfinger, Chris
Abstract:: Lake Merced results have established the lake as a viable paleoseismic site on the northern San Francisco peninsula. The lake records ~ 2300 years of event beds, 17 in total. Prior to that the lake was open to the ocean and contains marine shells consistent with an estuarine environment. The...

Addressing Free Ridership and the Provision of Hidden Public Goods : Using an Experimental Randomized Control Trial to Test the Nation's Willingness to Pay for the Columbia River Levee System in the Portland Metro Area During an Era of Localism

Creator:: Crawford, Tessa E.
Abstract:: Levee management has historically been considered a local governance issue. Many users of the Portland International (PDX) airport may have no knowledge that the airport is in a floodplain and is protected by a hundred year old levee. This study asked survey respondents across the U.S. how much they would...

Cascadia’s cold war : Malamud’s novel, A New Life, and OSU’s Liberal Arts at the midcentury

Creator:: Sal, K. Sukhjot
Abstract:: This thesis will compare former OSU Professor Bernard Malamud’s life in Corvallis through primary sources and documents with his parallel experience in his 1961 novel A New Life. A close examination of Malamud’s literature and investigation of his life at OSU exposes an uneven balance between academic censorship and the...

Training Community Health Workers in Oregon during a Public Health Crisis: Reflections on the Importance of Mental Health in Care-based Work

Creator:: Bompensa, Amanda A.
Abstract:: This ethnographic study addresses the concerns of Oregon based Community Health Workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through their shared perspectives on the importance of mental health and self-care, CHWs highlight the critical need to learn practical skills in their training in order to better support their communities. Recommendations made by...

Measurement of the muon antineutrino double-differential cross section for quasielastic-like scattering on hydrocarbon at Eν ∼ 3.5 GeV

Creator:: Schellman, Heidi, Fields, Laura J., and Patrick, Cheryl E.
Abstract:: We present double-differential measurements of antineutrino charged-current quasielastic scattering in the MINERvA detector. This study improves on a previous single-differential measurement by using updated reconstruction algorithms and interaction models and provides a complete description of observed muon kinematics in the form of a double-differential cross section with respect to muon...

Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education

Creator:: Haverkamp, Andrea E.
Abstract:: Gender has been the subject of study in engineering education and science social research for decades. However, little attention has been given to transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) experiences or perspectives. The role of cisgender or gender conforming status has not been investigated nor considered in prevailing frameworks of gender...

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...

Impacts of Reduced Tillage and Disturbance on Soil Health and Microbial Community Dynamics in Grass Seed Cropping Systems

Creator:: Zamora, Cesar G.
Abstract:: In Oregon perennial and annual grass seed cropping systems conservation management practices and their impacts on soil health and soil microbial community is not well understood. There is strong motivation to employ conservation tillage and other conservation practices to curb atmospheric carbon levels and improve soil health. However, the few...
