This study explored the influence of motivations on the volunteer experience. The relationship among motivations. volunteer satisfaction, acceptance and support of the organizational goals, and outcomes of success in the volunteer role (pattern of participation and ombudsman effectiveness) were explored using Multiple Linear Regression analyses. Motivational Systems Theory (Ford, 1992)...
This study investigates methods of multivariate regression analysis and their applications to biological data. It provides an overview of methods of reduced rank regression and sparse multivariate regression, including their motivations, methods, and applications. It also implements a form of sparse regression known as Regularized Multivariate Regression for Identifying Master...
The Transient Reactor Test facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a unique reactor capable of stressing test fuel during a power pulse transient. TREAT fuel is composed of high enriched uranium (HEU) heterogeneous fuel; microscopic UO₂ fuel grains with an average radius of 10 μm are randomly distributed...
The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) is conducting
scoping studies for the conversion of its fuel from a
highly enriched uranium (HEU) composition to a low-enriched
uranium (LEU) composition, through the
Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors
Program, within the Global Threat Reduction Initiative.
These studies have considered a wide...
This is an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife exhibit made before the April 26, 1995 meeting of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. The exhibit concerns the need for some disabled Oregonians to have assistance digging clams. At the time, it was illegal for one individual to help another...

Some want to encourage their grandchildren to have fun. Others choose gifts that help grandchildren learn about their family or cultural history. Some are satisfied to...
Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...
