  • Martínez-CregoRoleofSeagrassTraits.PDF

    Creator:
    Martínez-Crego, Begoña, Arteaga, Pedro, Tomas, Fiona, and Santos, Rui
    Abstract:
    Understanding how intra-specific differences in plant traits mediate vulnerability to herbivores of relevant habitat-forming plants is vital to attain a better knowledge on the drivers of the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Such studies, however, are rare in seagrass-mesograzer systems despite the increasingly recognized relevance of mesograzers as seagrass consumers....

  • Magnetotelluric Studies of Tectonic Systems and Volcanic Areas of North America

    Creator:
    Bowles-Martinez, Esteban
    Abstract:
    Magnetotellurics is used in two geologic settings on scales ranging from 1000-km tectonic structures to local features hundreds of meters wide. These areas are the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) and its related mantle plume in the northern Midwestern United States and Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. The MRS study uses...

    Martinez, Elena
    Abstract:
    Oregon White Oaks (Quercus garryana) were once abundant in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, but have drastically decreased because of fire suppression, agriculture, and human development. Oaks are an important ecosystem because they provide a diverse habitat for bird species that are insectivorous and/or cavity nesters. We studied the oak restoration...

  • Assessment of variability and monitoring methods for leaching under cover crop management

    Creator:
    Hess, Mario
    Abstract:
    The contamination of ground water resources represents a serious problem and a prominent threat to the health of our society. This study focuses on the leaching of inorganic anions as a function of agricultural practices under natural field conditions. In order to enhance the understanding of such leaching processes, this...

  • The Partitioning Technique of Power System to Improve the Observability of Sub-System for Multi-area State Estimation

    Creator:
    Lyu, Tao
    Abstract:
    An accurate state estimation plays an essential role in power system operation and planning in energy management systems. However, existing multi-area state estimation researches have not focused on the importance of system clustering. The clustering mechanism divides or partitions a system according to user-defined criteria. Few published research works have...

  • Shattering the Mirror: An Autoethnographic Study of White Womanhood and Student Affairs

    Creator:
    Woods, Jensen T.
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the relationship between whiteness, womanhood, and the profession of student affairs using the method of autoethnography and the guiding question: How does my personal understanding of white womanhood affect my work and role as a student affairs practitioner? The researcher identifies three goals at the beginning of...

  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • Compulsory Sexuality and Amatonormativity in Higher Education : A Photovoice Study with Asexual and Aromantic Students

    Creator:
    Stucki, Elijah G.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the experiences of ten asexual and aromantic college students at Oregon State University and the strategies they used to navigate their sexualized and romanticized campuses. The questions that guided this research were about belonging, resilience, kinship, and worldview. Did they feel they belonged to anyone or mattered...

  • Microscale thermal management utilizing vapor extraction from a fractal-like branching heat sink

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...

  • Formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine and nonvolatile N-nitrosamines from barley malt alkaloids

    Creator:
    Mangino, Mario M.
    Abstract:
    Amines formed by biosynthesis in germinated barley have been suggested as precursors for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in barley malt dried by direct-fired kilning. This hypothesis was verified by germinating raw barley and exposing the resulting malt roots and clean malt to nitrous acid. Quantitation of the NDMA formed indicated that malt...
