Recent changes in the historiography of American Transcendentalism
have inspired a reappraisal of the relationship between the Transcendentalist
movement in New England and the pietistic wing of the Unitarian church. This
thesis explores this reappraisal through a close reading of selected writings by
Henry Ware Jr. in juxtaposition to the...
Relations between the diversity of juvenile anadromous salmonids and pool features
were examined in a managed and a pristine watershed in Oregon during the summer of
1990. There were no differences (p>0.05) in pool depth, velocity or pool wood volumes
between streams. However, the pristine system had twice the number...
Native freshwater fish biodiversily is imperiled in Oregon with 36 species
or sub-species listed by the State of Oregon as sensitive, threatened, or endangered, and
9 species or sub-species listed as endangered or threatened under the federal
Endangered Species Act. Understanding and managing biodiversity is critical to its
conservation. Using...
This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria
transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and
sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The
study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing
behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector,
and parasitological...
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if inservicing Agriculture Science and Technology (AST) teachers over a new curriculum, resulted in increased student achievement. Specific objectives were to: 1) determine the subject areas (lessons) for a curriculum for teaching Integrated Pest Management (IPM); 2) develop a curriculum for...
The probing behavior and feeding activity of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae
Sulzer, on Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis- transgenic potatoes, insecticide
treated potatoes, and host plants with different preference were electronically
monitored. I found that first, transgenic potatoes had no effect on green peach aphid
probing suggesting that transmission of...
This paper surveys sequential and parallel implementation techniques for functional programming languages, as well as optimizations that can improve their performance. Sequential implementations have evolved from simple interpreters to sophisticated super-combinator-based compilers, while most parallel implementations have explored a broad range of techniques. We analyze the purpose and function of...
