The classroom practices discussed in this thesis come slowly and at a "slant" to feminism through critical reading of texts, a practice that I call a (re)presentation of the silent women in texts. Given our patriarchal western culture, making meaning, and especially making sense, of the role and representations of...

The Willamette Valley, west of the Cascade mountain range in the state of Oregon, is home to a growing number of vineyards. This rather recent, booming industry of the region has become an important component of the economy of the state’s agriculture since the late 1960’s, contributing more than $1.56...
The Peck Mountain area is located in west-central Idaho just 15 miles east of the Oregon-Idaho border. It is tectonically located within the "Columbia Arc" of the Nevadan oroaenic belt. The Seven Devils Volcanics, Permian to Traissic in age, are the oldest rocks in the area. They are composed of...

The Indo-Pacific Red Lionfish (P.volitans) has invaded coral reefs in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean. This abundant invader has the potential to negatively affect native species through both competition and predation. A native species that may be particularly vulnerable to this invasion is the Nassau grouper (E. striatus) because...

The northern part of the Southeast Three Sisters quadrangle straddles
the crest of the central High Cascades of Oregon. The area is
covered by Pleistocene and Holocene volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks
that were extruded from a number of composite cones, shield volcanoes,
and cinder cones. The principal eruptive centers include...

This study was developed (1) to compare the durability and
comfort of stretch and nonstretch in certain selected denim and
gingham fabrics, (2) to test specific designs as to their self-help
features and (3) to test special features in the designs which might
be adapted easily to ready-made clothing for...
The Pacific red lionfish has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. Lionfish possess a broad suite of traits that makes them particularly successful invaders and strong negative interactors with native fauna, including defensive venomous...
The UN Law of the Sea of 1982 assigned rights and responsibilities to the
fishery resources within 200 nautical miles of the coast (i.e.,the Exclusive
Economic Zones: EEZs) to the adjacent maritime countries. A key
responsibility is the requirement that these countries manage their marine
living resources sustainably through time...
Presentation about OCLC's recently unveiled WorldCat Local product. Discusses some of the functionality of the software, how it is different from our local OPACs, what it does well and not so well and finally some concerns with the one big catalog, single silo approach.
Thirty-four current worksite health promotion programs were
studied in order to obtain comprehensive information about various components
involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of existing
programs, and to acquire the necessary data to develop a theory and corresponding
hypotheses pertaining to successful worksite health promotion
programs. The case study...
End users create software when they use spreadsheet systems, web authoring tools and graphical languages, and when they create educational simulations, macros-by-demonstration, and dynamic e-business web applications and mash-ups. Some end-user developers, such as accountants or teachers, may have no formal training at all in programming. Others, such as scientists...
A workshop was held in Santa Barbara, California, associated with assessing the populations of nekton animals such as squids, shrimps and fishes. Sessions four major methods of assessing nekton populations:
(1) Net collections
(2) Acoustics
(3) Egg/larval surveys
(4) Visual methods, remote sensing and feeding habit studies
An attempt was...
With the construction of the Marine Science Center and the opening of its Pacific Fisheries Laboratory in 1965, Oregon State University had facilities for research that would ultimately lead to breakthroughs in Pacific Coast oyster culture. "Purposes of the workshop were to review present and planned programs of research with...
In 2009, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife initiated a process to incorporate information about climate change and its effects on fish, wildlife, and habitats into the Oregon Conservation Strategy. The agency acknowledged that climate change is already affecting Oregon’s species and habitats and that future climate change represents...

BACKGROUND: Workers onboard freezer-trawl (FT) and freezer-longline (FL) vessels in Alaska may be at high risk for fatal and non-fatal injuries. METHODS: Traumatic occupational injuries onboard vessels in the FT and FL fleets were identified through two government data sources. RESULTS: The annual risk of fatal injuries was 125 per...

Innovativeness can help companies differentiate themselves, with the ultimate goal of securing survival and improving performance. Modern theories in organizational behavior look at innovation as something that starts with individual creativity but that is also affected by the work environment. Using one broad industry sector, the US forest products industry,...
