Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from
a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the
planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic p ...
The purposes of this study were first to determine if there were significant differences
in living environment press, i.e., the pressure on an individual to behave in a
certain way, between those fraternity chapters th ...
This thesis demonstrates that at low frequencies (periods longer
than 2.5 days) local currents off the coast of Oregon are closely
related to the wind. Wind and current observations made during
August and September 19 ...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a
relationship exists between perceived realism of computer
graphic images and the ability of children to solve
spatially related problems. Experiments were performed ...
The transitional period between elementary and middle school remains an area of concern for educators. Many middle schools are plagued with retention issues, core class failures, increased discipline problems, and decrea ...
This study examines the seasonal variability in temperature and
salinity of the nearshore waters off Oregon and Northern California.
Specifically, temperature and salinity variations during summer and
winter were ana1 ...
During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio
addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to
speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty t ...
The Risø data were analyzed for variations in the surface roughness
lengths. The method of analysis was tested on the Wangara data
and proved satisfactory at this homogeneous site.
Annual mean surface roughness length ...
The yellow discoloration in canned oysters, which appeared after several months of storage, has been proven to be due to carotenoid pigments which were contained in the liver of the oyster. It was found after making carb ...
The phenomena of interest in this work is the thermal stratification which occurs during the early stages of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility, which is a scaled model of t ...
The recent focus on transition from school to working
life has created a growing concern in Oregon about teachers
with elementary certification as their initial certification
who earn a special education certificate a ...
This study was undertaken to gather empirical data on the
transportation practices of manufacturers, processors, and carriers
in the Willamette Basin. Emphasis was placed on determining
the adequacies of current trans ...
Detailed current profiles between the sediment-water interface
and 20 cm above it reveal a viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary
layer on the Oregon continental shelf. Data from three field experiments
are used to t ...
The pressure drop for two-phase liquid-liquid flow is theoretically
predicted for each flow regime. Empirical correlations, which
are applicable in all flow regimes, are also presented for holdup as
well as pressure d ...
