  • Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

    Creator:
    Embleton, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

  • Toward a more ethical engineering : four habits of highly ethical engineering practice

    Creator:
    Sugie, Masayuki Luke
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I conduct an analysis of paradigmatic background assumptions deployed in engineering decision-making processes, in order to understand how these assumptions, operating tacitly and in tension with each other, contribute to decisions that are ethically less effective and less substantial than they would otherwise be. I do so...

    Creator:
    Dempsey, Judith
    Abstract:
    Oregon's land use planning system is often recognized as having been successful in its goals of limiting urban sprawl and protecting resource lands from development.

  • The Impact of Malolactic Fermentation Conducted by Oenococcus oeni on Brettanomyces bruxellensis Growth and Volatile Phenol Production

    Creator:
    Lauderdale, Adam D.
    Abstract:
    Wine is particularly vulnerable to infection by Brettanomyces bruxellensis during or shortly after malolactic fermentation (MLF). While different methods and techniques enable winemakers to prevent wine spoilage due to this organism, no single intervention is universally sufficient. Moreover application of sulfur dioxide, the most commonly used of these methods, is...
