A sedimentary and geophysical investigation offshore of Sumatra : subduction zone earthquakes, ground motions, and submarine landslides

Creator:: Patton, Jason R.
Abstract:: Subduction zone earthquake and tsunami hazards affect tens of millions worldwide and the recurrence of these disasters can be evaluated with paleoseismic techniques, because earthquake cycles (and their supercycles) typically span many millennia. In these three chapters, I discuss a suite of analyses I use to evaluate the sedimentary record...

For the Purpose of Power: An Analysis of George W. Bush’s Warrantless Wiretapping Address

Creator:: Owens, Michael V.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the rhetorical efforts of President George W. Bush in defending his administration's warrantless wiretapping program. Specifically, the study attempts to determine the president's underlying motives when he defended the National Security Agency in a December 2005 radio address by applying Kenneth Burke's...

Exploring the Magnetic Properties of Specific Grain-Sizes to Understand Marine Depositional Systems: A Case Study from the Eirik Ridge South of Greenland over the Last Glacial Cycle

Creator:: Freiberg, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Disentangling sediment source from sediment transport is a fundamental marine geologic challenge critical to the interpretation of any sedimentary record. The Eirik Ridge, a sediment drift south of Greenland, receives terrigenous sediment primarily from subglacial erosion of south Greenland’s Precambrian bedrock and Paleogene volcanics that outcrop in east Greenland and...

Oregon State University Student Electoral Participation, 2006-2010

Creator:: Bene, Heather T.
Abstract:: This study examines student voting at Oregon State University (OSU) – Oregon’s public, land-grant university – in state elections from 2006-2010. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), Oregon Senate Bill 951 (2007), and Oregon House Bill 2880 (2011) seek to increase university student voting. In particular, SB 951...

Argument and common ground : scholarly research meets the common core state standards

Creator:: Clark, Jillian
Abstract:: This thesis examines the recent history of the teaching of argument and its implications in the face of new writing standards being implemented in K-12 classrooms under the Common Core State Standards. The new educational policies will shift the focus of writing instruction onto argument writing as part of students'...

Effects of habitat manipulations on California quail in western Oregon

Creator:: Oates, Russell M.
Abstract:: The effects of disking, food plantings, and wheat plantings on a population of California quail (Lophortyx californicus) were studied from fall 1976 to spring 1978 on the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon. Twelve 16.2-ha study sites were established: 3 study sites for each treatment and 3 control sites. Disked areas,...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

The effects of rotational grazing and prescribed burning on bobwhite populations in south Texas

Creator:: Wilson, Marcia H.
Abstract:: Short-term effects of 3 grazing systems and prescribed burning on bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations were investigated on the Welder Wildlife Refuge near Corpus Christi, Texas, during spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) of 1976 and 1977. Two rotational systems, high intensity-low frequency (HILF) and four-pasture, deferred-rotation (4PDR),...

Estimating Lime Requirement for Oregon Soils with Non-Hazardous Soil Test Methods

Creator:: Makepeace, Carl A.
Abstract:: Various soil tests are routinely used in the United States to predict soil lime requirement. New non-hazardous methods have recently been proposed for adoption in Oregon, however the accuracy of these methods for Oregon soils has not been established. The objectives of this investigation were: (a) to document and describe...

Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

Creator:: Zhu, Minjie
Abstract:: To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...
