Examining Upper-DivisionThermodynamics Using the Actor Oriented Transfer Framework

Creator:: Sherer, Grant J.
Abstract:: One source of di culty for students in Thermodynamics courses is their unfamiliarity with partial derivatives and the associated mathematical procedures. At Oregon State University, a mechanical analogue of thermodynamic systems, called the Partial Derivative Machine (PDM), has been designed. The PDM represents an attempt to make the mathematics of...

Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

Creator:: Sherer, Brett Micheal
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

Reframing Engagement Methods for Climate Change Adaptation

Creator:: Cone, Joseph, Rowe, Shawn, Borberg, Jenna, Stancioff, Esperanza, Doore, Brian, and Grant, Kristen
Abstract:: Climate change poses known and unknown risks for coastal communities and also challenges for university faculty and local government staff who communicate about climate sciences. Conceived as a way to move beyond traditional models of science communication, this project involved public and private decision makers in specific at-risk communities in...

Maxie J Peterson Thesis.doc

Creator:: Peterson, Maxie Jean
Abstract:: The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Patterns of hillslope and channel recovery following disturbances in steep, forested basins

Creator:: Madej, Mary Ann
Abstract:: Geomorphic response to watershed disturbances commonly results in alterations of landforms. Subsequent geomorphic recovery is dependent on the ability of flows to entrain, transport, and organize inorganic and organic material on hillslopes and in channels. This research analyzed changes in sediment production, channel structure, and channel organization following disturbances in...

Patterns and processes of sediment transport following sediment-filled dam removal in gravel bed rivers

Creator:: Stewart, Gregory B.
Abstract:: Dam removal is increasingly viewed as a river restoration tool because dams affect so many aspects of river hydrology, geomorphology, and ecology; but removal also has impacts. When a dam is removed, sediment accumulated over a dam’s lifetime may be transported downstream; and the timing, fate and consequences of this...

Economic Analysis of the Potential for Nuclear Energy Investment in Eastern Europe

Creator:: van de Lindt, Nelson
Abstract:: This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the impacts of nuclear energy on the economy and energy security of select European countries. While previous literature has identified a connection between nuclear energy and economic growth, this study focuses on assessing the comparative effects of nuclear energy, measured by operable...

Contrasting geomorphic responses to climatic, anthropogenic, and fluvial change across modern to millennial time scales, Clackamas River, Oregon

Creator:: Wampler, Peter J.
Abstract:: Geomorphic change along the lower Clackamas River is occurring at a millennial scale due to climate change; a decadal scale as a result River Mill Dam operation; and at an annual scale since 1996 due to a meander cutoff. Channel response to these three mechanisms is incision. Holocene strath terraces,...
