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....

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...

Is Cover Type Use by Dabbling Ducks at Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas, Related to Energy Availability?

Creator:: Kreisler, Skye E.
Abstract:: Managers of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) in central Arkansas want to provide sufficient habitat resources to meet its population objectives for wintering waterfowl. Nutrient reserves acquired during the wintering period appear to support spring migration and subsequent reproductive success for some species,...

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...

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...

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...

Lost in plain sight : the evolution of Oregon's nearshore groundfish trawl fleet

Creator:: Sjostrom, Anja, Conway, Flaxen D. L., Ciannelli, Lorenzo, and Wakefield, Waldo
Abstract:: The West Coast groundfish industry collapsed in 2000, but it recovered through the efforts of regulators, scientists and the fleet. Now it is working to rebuild the market and reconnect with a formerly active fishing ground along Oregon’s nearshore. In this report, we define nearshore as the shelf that extends...
