This thesis deals with applications of uniaxial anisotropic crystals for microcavity resonators with partially chaotic underlying ray dynamics. We develop an implementation of the scattering matrix formalism, and relate ...

The effect of landuse change on the hydrologic, biogeochemical and ecological response of watersheds is a concern throughout the world. To help characterize the potential magnitude of such changes, and of the potential ...

To visualize vibrations in mechanical systems, e.g., machine tools, their movements are measured by means of suitable sensors. The signals from these sensors are processed and displayed as animated pictures on a comput ...

Plastic packaging is a cost-effective solution for housing RF and microwave integrated circuits in low cost communication devices. While enabling low cost packaging of integrated circuits, plastic packages including the ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the total direct costs of occupational injuries as they relate to workers compensation allocations within a self-insured firm. Through the use of a model, this study provides f ...

Water tables in many soils of the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon are often near the surface. This is because they are underlain by a relatively impermeable layer at a shallow depth, and the rainfall during the wi ...

A spreadsheet-based transport model was developed in Microsoft Excel™ as part of a six-year National Cooperative Highway Research Program project conducted at Oregon State University. The model simulated the leaching, ...

Training of woodsworkers is described as important for the logging industry in Oregon. There has been little documentation of training gains or research that measures the effects of training from the perspective of the ...
