The purpose of this study was to determine the
effects of a six-week career planning dropout prevention
program on the self-concepts and academic achievement of
at-risk middle school students in an inner-city public
school environment. The research population consisted of
1,434 students (grades seven, eight and nine) attending an
inner...
A new in situ fluorometer for the detection of oceanic photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is described.
Emission spectra from 546 to 733 nm are recorded for each of three different visible excitation bands ten
times a second. A Spectralon cell is used to improve the excitation coupling to and the collection...
Weed resistance is usually diagnosed after a weed control practice has lost
efficacy and weed populations begin to increase rapidly. Prediction and validation in
the field at a very early stage of resistance development is a promising method for
preventing an uncontrollable problem. Pattern-thinking helped individuals connect their
experience of...
School administrators are required by law to report suspected cases
of child abuse. They create serious legal and moral consequences for their
school districts when they fail to report suspicions of child abuse occurring
in the school setting. Studies consistently find that child sexual abuse is
under-reported and that allegations...
This research investigates the role of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the life experiences of University Student-Athletes. This qualitative study employs a naturalistic and grounded paradigm in an effort to capture the essence of these experiences. Participants are four student-athletes from Oregon State University who play intercollegiate athletics in the Pac-10...
This compilation is meant only to be a guide because it is imperfect. I gathered these citations during a single search of the sources cited in section B; ideally, I would have gone through all those sources again to perhaps find records that I missed or to correct errors that...
Magnetic and gravity modelling was completed along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon. These models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane has a seaward dip of approximately 40° to 49° at 44°48'N, shallowing to ~28° at 44°1 1 'N. This is a well-determined result, given available...
