  • Mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel through field observation and numerical simulation

    Creator:
    Baker, Joshua L.
    Abstract:
    This study presents a mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel buoy, which is a mobile test platform for Wave Energy Converters. The Ocean Sentinel is owned and operated by the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) at Oregon State University (OSU). The study involved a field observation as well...

    Creator:
    Benoit, Gregory M.
    Abstract:
    The collection, evaluation, and organization of spatial information is instrumental to the successful development and execution of planning policies and management programs. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the technology to integrate varying informational needs into a single relational database for ease in data retrieval and analysis. The use of a...

  • Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

    Creator:
    Michaels, Linsie
    Abstract:
    Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

  • Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

    Creator:
    Harrison, Matt
    Abstract:
    Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

  • Thermal and Aerodynamic Effects of Surface Roughness Patterns on Additive Manufactured Heat Sinks

    Creator:
    Lundeen, Samuel L.
    Abstract:
    Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...

  • The Building of a ‘Harmonious World’ and the Conflict of the Confucius Institute

    Creator:
    Flatt, Tomena M.
    Abstract:
    The Confucius Institutes program is a Chinese organization established in 2004 to provide the world with language instruction and increase cultural awareness. The program forms joint venture business models with universities and schools around the world to establish language and culture centers on their school’s campus (“Constitution and By-Laws”). Over...

  • Detection, classification and ecology of acoustic scattering layers

    Creator:
    Cade, David Edmund
    Abstract:
    Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...

  • Light and the behavior of pelagic animals during night and crepuscular periods

    Creator:
    Wisdom, Daniel W.
    Abstract:
    Light plays an important role in ecological processes in the ocean both day and night. While relatively inexpensive, off the shelf instruments are available to measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR during the day, efforts to quantify light levels at night have proven more difficult. The goal of this work...

  • Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

    Creator:
    Kaltenberg, Amanda May
    Abstract:
    Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

  • Horizontal and vertical distribution of juvenile pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the southeastern Bering Sea

    Creator:
    McIntosh, Neal E.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) are one of the primary prey items for bird and mammal predators in the Bering Sea and support a large commercial fishery. An understanding of the environmental factors that determine the horizontal and vertical distribution of juvenile pollock is needed to estimate the effects that...
