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...

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...

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...

Pasture Production and Lamb Growth from Dryland Hill Pastures in Western Oregon

Creator:: Gultekin, Yunus
Abstract:: Pasture legumes that persist under challenging agro-ecological conditions are crucial to ensure high lamb growth rates in dryland pastures. Pasture and lamb production from white clover (TF-Whc), birdsfoot trefoil (TF-Bft), balansa clover (TF-Bc) and subterranean clover (TF-Sc) planted with tall fescue either as binary mixtures or as a diverse combination...

Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

Creator:: Wong, Derek C.
Abstract:: The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...

Investigating the Mechanisms for the Effects of Nitrate Treatment on Exercise Performance and Energy Metabolism

Creator:: Keller, Rosa M.
Abstract:: Dietary nitrate (NO3-), consumed primarily from leafy green and root vegetables, lowers blood pressure, improves vascular function and aerobic exercise performance. This performance-enhancing effect of nitrate supplementation is largely attributed to the increased bioavailability of the signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a ubiquitous free radical signaling molecule...

Development of a Strain Gage Program for the Measurement of Strain on Prototypic, Plate-type, High Performance Research Reactor Fuels under Flow Testing

Creator:: Weiss, Aaron W.
Abstract:: A large, multi-year experimental program has been conducted to develop a strain gaging program for application to the flow testing of prototypic, plate-type fuel for high performance research reactors. This test program has resulted in the selection of appropriate strain gage construction, adhesives, and protective coatings to allow the acquisition...

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...
