This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
Poetry in the People's Republic of China during the past 30 years has been dominated by works intensely political in nature – a kind of poetry known by the name zhengzhi shuqing shi (political lyric). The function of this poetry was to eulogize current political movements and to generate public...
A model reduction method for stable, linear, time-invariant,
continuous systems is critically studied. This
method, proposed by Prof. Ouyang, is based on the concept
of power dispersion and the least-squared estimation
technique. The reduced models obtained by this method retain
the stability of the stable, high order original systems and...
An algorithm is developed to compute the time averaged, output
statistics of a linear system with periodic coefficients forced by
stationary white noise. The algorithm makes use of Floquet theory
and introduces the averaged system dynamics matrix to obtain more
favorable numerical performance. The time series approach to
averaged statistics...
Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of
selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in
vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...
Effect of diets varying in amount of cholesterol and
polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) on plasma lipid
levels and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was
determined in fourteen young adult male subjects during a 13-week
experimental period in a crossover design.
Control diet was fed for two weeks prior...
