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...

Learning to Teach Science from a Contextualized Stance

Creator:: L’Heureux, K., Giamellaro, M., Beaudry, M-C., Buxton, C., Ayotte-Beaudet, J-P., and Alajmi, T.
Abstract:: Contextualization is a curricular approach and a learning process in which science content knowledge is intentionally situated within a context where that knowledge can be authentically applied or observed. Many recent science education reforms include contextualization as a central tenet. Our goal in this review was to examine commonalities across...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A Study of Charging Behaviors in Organic Semiconductors using Optical Trapping

Creator:: Founds, Graham M.
Abstract:: We measure the charging and discharging of two organic materials, PCBM and ADT-TES-F. These materials are studied through the noncontact method of particle trapping known as Optical Tweezers, where an IR laser is used to constrain the motion of a coated or noncoated silica sphere while its positional data is...

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...

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...

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...
