The effect of the mutual inductances between the rotor coils of a synchronous machine on its defined reactances and predicted transients are investigated. Two linearized models of the machine are considered. One uses the Laplace-Transform approach, with minimum number of assumptions on the inter-coil couplings, in developing a model for...
We investigate in this thesis, the problem of stability
of thermo-viscoelastic fluid flow between rotating
coaxial cylinders. By using the thermo-viscoelastic
constitutive equations given by Eringen, we reduce the
equations of motion into a form suitable for stability
analysis. The course of reduction which we follow yields
some interesting intermediate...
In recent years the conversion of agricultural lands to more
intensive non-rural land uses has become a focus of increasing public
awareness and concern. The growing attention to farmland conversion
is manifested in increasing public policies and legilsation to protect
agricultural and forestry land uses. Nevertheless, our understanding
of the...

Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) a major grass seed crop
in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, is presently burned in the fields
after harvest, causing considerable air pollution and general wastage
of a material which could be used in the manufacture of economically
important products. The cellulosic component of straw is relatively...

Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
The location of a lactating mouse in a cage of two compartments,
a nest area and a larger wire cage, was continuously recorded for ten
days after parturition. Three experimental groups within each of two
inbred lines, A/J and C57BL/6J, were tested: first generation,
unfostered; second generation, unfostered; and second...
This study is focused primarily on the development and evaluation
of the SUTOE (Self Understanding Through Occupational Exploration)
program in the State of Oregon. It cites the need for a relevant
curriculum for junior high school age youth, and reviews the philosophical
basis for development of the SUTOE course.
The...
The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate the
influence of student placement at reading level by means of an informal
reading inventory in one kind of elementary science materials. The
materials were written at five levels of reading difficulty to better
meet the reading ability spread found in...
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to analyze, in the mathematics
classrooms, career-oriented verbal mathematics problems on the
achievement and attitude of the vocational mathematics student.
These career-oriented mathematics problems, used as advanced
organizers, were contrasted with mathematics word problems of a
more abstract and generalized...
Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a poisonous plant responsible
for livestock deaths in the Pacific Northwest. Horses and cattle are
susceptible, while sheep are resistant to the toxic action of the
pyrrolizidine alkaloids which the plant contains. Hepatic enzymes
are responsible for the biotransformation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids
into tissue damaging...
This thesis presents a procedure to identify and evaluate forest
arterial and collector networks. The procedure identifies those
decision criteria important in evaluating both the arterial and
collector networks and the specific facilities identified on these
networks. The procedure incorporates the decision criteria and results
from network and facility analysis...
The purpose of this case study was to describe the development
of an adult high school diploma program at Linn Benton Community
College, Specifically, the purposes of this study are: (1) the creation
of an instructional approach utilizing performance objectives as a
means of satisfying the minimum adult high school...
