Community colleges have long been thought of as the "people's
college." For some thirty years, Oregonians have looked to their 16 community
colleges as the less expensive, more accessible route to a college education.
Oregon's community colleges have traditionally had the broad mission of
providing comprehensive educational opportunities to all...
Evaluating the success or failure of work force training programs is most often accomplished through the reporting of "objective" data. Rarely are the students' views of their own success in such a training program formally solicited or applied in any useful way. But participant perceptions can be a critical barometer...
This study addresses how parents communicate with their children about Significant Emotional Events (SEEs). A SEE is an experience that is so mentally engaging as to cause an individual to consider, examine, and possibly change one's initial values or value system. It examines parent's goals, concerns, and values related to...
Remnants of railroad logging camps, and their associated features, are perhaps some of the most common archaeological resources found on public lands in the Pacific Northwest. Many camps have already been located, their cultural materials inventoried, and networks of logging railroad grades mapped. Yet, despite these efforts, little can be...
Fresh ripe, cantaloupes were processed into juice and
juice concentrate. Processing trials were conducted on
fresh and frozen fruits with and without rind. The effects
of maceration enzymes and fining agents on yield and quality
were investigated. Compositional measurement included
°Brix, pH, titratable acidity, formol values, ascorbic acid
content, total...
Pelargonidin 3-glucoside (pgd 3-glu), pelargonidin 3-sophoroside (pgd 3-soph),
and pelargonidin 3-sophoroside 5-glucoside acylated with cinnamic and malonic acids
(acyl-pgd 3-soph 5-glu) were extracted from strawberries (Fragaria anannassa cv,
Totem), nasturtium flowers (Tropaeolum majus), and radish peel (Raphanus sativus L.
cv, fuego), respectively. Their stability was studied in natural and model...
The pigments of blackberry fruit were investigated by analytical and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to characterize anthocyanin patterns in commercially important blackberry (Rubus eubatus) cultivars and selections. Five anthocyanin pigments were detected in Evergreen blackberry and they were identified as cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-rutinoside, pentosecyanidin derivative and two acylated cyanidin...
Red radish (Raphanus sativus L.) anthocyanins were extracted from liquid
nitrogen powdered epidermal tissue using acetone and chloroform and isolated using
C-18 resin. Chemical structure and conformation of major pigments were elucidated
by 1-D and 2-D NMR, Mass Spectroscopy, HPLC, and spectral analyses. Two novel
di-acylated anthocyanins, pelargonidin 3-0-[2-0-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(6-0- trans-p-coumaroyl-...
