  • A preliminary investigation of the spotted owl in Oregon

    Creator:
    Forsman, Eric D.
    Abstract:
    Between 1970 and 1974, data were collected on the distribution and biology of the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) in Oregon. One-hundred and sixteen pairs and seven single birds were located. Spotted owls occurred throughout the mountains of western Oregon and on the east slope of the Cascade Range at least...

  • Black parental and primary guardian attitudes toward their involvement in desegregation

    Creator:
    Griffin, Betty Sue
    Abstract:
    School districts and educational policymakers need current information on Black parental and primary guardian responses toward the issue of desegregation. This research focused primarily on the attitudes of Black parents and primary guardians toward their involvement in elementary desegregated schools. The study attempted to determine if: (1) Educational background has...

  • Building capacity for systemic change : episodes of learning in the first year of a grant-funded change project at a land grant university

    Creator:
    McMurray, Janice K.
    Abstract:
    Demands for increasingly more responsive education systems have caused some higher education institutions to reconsider their original missions and envision new futures. This is particularly true with land grant institutions whose mandate it is to be the people's university. The purpose of this study was to explore the first year...

  • Extensional characterization of weakly-viscoelastic fluids : methods & applications

    Creator:
    Marshall, Kristin A.
    Abstract:
    The addition of macromolecules to solvent, even in dilute quantities, can significantly alter a fluid's response in an extensional, or stretching, flow. When high-molecular-weight polymers are extended in solution, extensional thickening can result, yielding viscosities that are orders of magnitude larger than values found in shear. Examples of applications where...

  • Asynthesis & act: the evental sublime in Badiou, Byron, and Barker

    Creator:
    Drury, Adam Marshall
    Abstract:
    Asynthesis & Act is a significant intervention into the discourse of the sublime. Through a deep investigation of the critical metaphysics of Immanuel Kant, the first chapter of this thesis puts forth the claim that the sublime is a radical experience that occasions a possibility for the individual to commit...

  • Drivers of Deconstruction: An Analysis of Dam Removal in the United States

    Creator:
    Marshall, Laura W.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis is to identify the factors which have most significantly contributed to historical dam removals in the United States. The trend of increased dam removals over time is specifically analyzed for evidence that increased scarcity of environmental goods and services is motivating dam removals. A theoretical...

  • Effects of irrigation frequency on yields of winter wheat

    Creator:
    Nakamura, Brian Clifford
    Abstract:
    Deliberately underirrigating a crop may yield economic benefits. The optimal use of water by an irrigator should be achieved under a deficit irrigation regime. It is important to know how water deficits affect yields and the interaction of the deficits with the scheduling of irrigations. A field experiment was conducted...

  • Effect of plant surface area on organic carbon removal in wetlands

    Creator:
    Kuehn, Elaine Jinx
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the effect of plant surface area (plant density) on the efficiency of organic carbon removal in a bench-scale constructed wetland. Constructed wetlands are commonly assumed to be biofilm reactors in which organic carbon removal occurs primarily through sedimentation and aerobic degradation by attached microbial biofilms. In conventional...

  • Computer simulation to control environmental impact of water and nitrate leaching in furrow irrigated fields

    Creator:
    Raja, Syed Navaid
    Abstract:
    Nitrate contamination in ground and surface waters is of great concern to environmentalists. A two-dimensional model of water and solute movement in soils was used to test the usefulness and relative advantages of a two-dimensional model over a one dimensional model for analysis of deep percolation and nitrate leaching in...

  • Characterizing hydraulics and water distribution of furrow irrigation in northeast Malheur County

    Creator:
    Mittelstadt, Robert
    Abstract:
    Furrow irrigation is the dominant practice for irrigating row crops in the western Treasure Valley region near Ontario, Oregon. Though improvements have been made in management practices over the years, excessive runoff and deep percolation are still important problems contributing to surface water and groundwater degradation. Field observations were made...
