Western white pine historically dominated northern Idaho’s forested landscape and was the Inland Empire’s most economically important tree. White pine blister rust, caused by the exotic fungus Cronartium ribicola, played a principal role in the decline of western white pine. The pathogen causes branch and bole cankers, which usually girdle...
Washington and Oregon became important states in the production of apples and pears in the early 1900's. During these beginning
stages, wooden boxes were used for shipping both apples and pears.
Apple containerization has progressed through several stages. Today,
the most common container for shipment of apples out of the...
This study looks at how gendered language circulates affect in order to coerce gender binary conformity. I analyze the ways gendered phrases like “sit like a lady”, “don’t be a bitch”, and “man up” communicate binary gender expectations within a U.S. context, and what they have to do with larger...

The grid geometry plays a vital role in the performance of gridded ion thrusters. It can dramatically impact the erosion rate and thrust. Designers push the limits of electric in-space propulsion by optimizing grid parameters through simulation. At the same time, computational models of plasma physics are intensive. A baseline...
Despite the now common usage of the term “girl”, there has been little call for pause and deeper analysis into what we actually mean when we use this term. In particular, animated film provides a wide scope of media texts that claim to focus on girlhood; but how do we...
Properly written waiver of liability forms can be an effective tool in decreasing injury liability of intramural and recreational sports programs. In order for a waiver to be effective, (i.e., held up in court), participants must not only read and sign the waiver, but they must understand it as well....
Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...
Offering courses that promote, encourage, and support physical activity among college students has been an aim of physical education departments for the past century (Sargeant, 1900). Even so, this population has been identified in Healthy People 2010 as a target population segment in need of physical activity intervention. Historically, such...
Six standard coyote scent station index lines and one scentless control line were repeatedly sampled from May through October, 1974, on a 400 square mile study area in Central Oregon. The scent station index remained relatively constant at a mean value of 0.025 from May through mid-August; increased to a...
