1. Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

Creator:: Beery, Aidan J.
Abstract:: Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...

2. Fourier-Transform Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy in Binary Hydrocarbon-Alcohol Single Droplet Evaporation

Creator:: Daly, Shane R., Olson, Nicholas, and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Broadband absorption spectroscopy, by way of FTIR, was used to investigate the vapor cloud of a single millimeter sized liquid droplet suspended by a syringe as it evaporates at standard conditions. Single beam data were collected every 8 seconds resulting in a time-resolved record. Species concentrations were tracked using their...

3. The economic impacts of off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation in Oregon: main report

Creator:: Lindberg, Kreg
Abstract:: Despite a recent decline, during the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in sales and permit registrations for off-highway vehicles (OHVs) in Oregon. These vehicles include quads and three-wheel ATVs (Class I), dune buggies, sand rails, and 4x4 vehicles (Class II), and off-highway motorcycles (Class III). This report...

5. Maximizing soil moisture through mulch and slash applications

Creator:: Hummell, Cassandra and McKay, Erin
Abstract:: Restoration projects that involve revegetation efforts are often confronted with problems of desiccation. Several studies have shown that mulching, or laying organic material over the surface of the soil, can be very effective in helping to retain soil moisture and avoid desiccation. To determine the effects of moisture retention in...

6. Math journaling as a self-regulated learning technique in the fifth-grade classroom

Creator:: Tanler, Hayley
Abstract:: Self-regulated learners are students who take an active role in their education and have the desire to become more competent and more capable as learners (Zimmerman, 1990). Teaching student skills to be more self-regulated has been shown to help students improve their thinking and organizational skills (Pape, Bell, & Yetkin,...

7. Small mammal population survey in thinned ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Whittle, Heather and Hobson, Whitney
Abstract:: Small mammal populations are vital to the Metolius Forest Preserve. The forest preserve is undergoing selective thinning, which may affect small mammal populations in the forest. Our null hypothesis is that small mammal populations are not affected by the treatment of the forest. In addition to the null hypothesis, we...

8. Road Decommission: Metolius Preserve

Creator:: Drum, Dan
Abstract:: Road decommissioning will be a valuable science in the future of ecological restoration because of the excess number of roads in this country. May things like habitat fragmentation, erosion, spread of invasive species, and access to fragile environments can be linked to roads. For this study I selected a road...

Creator:: Barrett, Todd
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to see if fifth grade students agreed with the research that says that children can easily and rapidly identify social isolation within their peer groups (Dodge, Coie, Pettit, Price, & Joseph, 1990 ).

10. Soil survey at Camp Polk – analysis according to vegetation composition

Creator:: Schmidt, Nadja and Sinclair, Kim
Abstract:: Restoration ecology seeks to incorporate entire ecosystem functioning; primarily attempting to repair what has been degraded or altered. In order to reinstate ecological processes, biotic and abiotic components must be included, such as flora, fauna, hydrology, and of course, soil. Soil provides many functions in which all aspects of life...
