Many cranberry growers on the Oregon coast are well aware that good pollination is necessary for quality fruit set. Multiple
visits to the flower deliver more pollen, which can increase the percentage fruit set, number of seeds per berry, and mature
berry weight. The better a bee is at delivering...
Acoustic position estimation is used where high accuracy navigation is required over a small area, such as for searching or for collecting gravitational or geomagnetic data. In this position estimation method, a surface ship or submersible periodically sends out a high-frequency acoustic 'ping' at a prearranged frequency. This ping is...
Melissa was the most interesting person that I got the opportunity to meet. She is very religious, there were book cases, a piano top, and desktops full of bible books, song hymns, and Seven Day Adventist paraphernalia surround me. As Jan had told me I saw for myself that she...
The purpose of this project was to examine how trauma can be manifested during birth, as well as the tools non-clinical labor support professionals called doulas can provide. I aimed to analyze the first-hand experiences of two mothers with a history of trauma, taking note of the perceived benefits of...
Beginning in 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic contributed to an increase in housing insecurity among college students. As awareness around homelessness has increased, so has research aimed at better understanding the causes of homelessness and housing insecurity among college students, as well as opportunities to better support economic access to higher...
