Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village
complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal
bones recovered from the site offer the first significant
insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region.
Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented,
detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were
the primary meat resource...
Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...

Extreme water levels generating flooding in estuarine and coastal environments are often driven by compound events, where many individual processes such as waves, storm surge, streamflow, and tides coincide. Despite this, extreme water levels are typically modeled in isolated open-coast or estuarine environments, potentially mischaracterizing the true risk of flooding...

The identification and mapping of surface cover types
within Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, has been effectively
completed through the utilization of LANDSAT digital
data and NASA U-2 color infrared aerial photography. Classification
of LANDSAT data for surface cover type identification
and mapping was accomplished through use of the
Interactive...

Information Foraging Theory (IFT) has successfully explained how people seek information in various domains, in turn, informing the design of several tools and information-intensive environments. However, prior research has not explored foraging in the presence of several, very similar variants of the same artifact. Such variants are commonplace in several...
This study attempted to develop a profile of values held by
Oregon's full-time professional staff members as a group. It also
tried to ascertain if there are differences in the values and perceptions
held by sub-groups within the community college staff.
The main questions to be answered were:
1. Are...
Strawberry is economically the most important berry crop grown worldwide and breeders are continuously striving to develop improved cultivars. So far, marker assisted breeding (MAB) in strawberry has been limited to the private sector. However, loci controlling some traits of economic importance such as perpetual flowering (PF) and soluble solids...
This dissertation focuses on the behavior of security returns around certain events that occurred in the Saudi stock market. In the first study, we measure and analyze the reaction of security returns around a major horizontal merger that occurred in the banking industry in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this...
A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes.
The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...
The South Pole ice core (SPC14), drilled in the field seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, is an intermediate length, 1,751-m ice core which preserves a 54,000-year record of past climate and atmospheric composition. The SPC14 ice core adds to the spatial grid of ice cores in Antarctica extending into the...
County governments in the United States play important roles in the tax collection and public service provisions. Thus, a better understanding of the local government finances is closely related to the welfares of residents. In this dissertation, I provide two essays: in the first essay, I examine the fiscal impacts...
