Factors related to the economic sustainability of two year chemistry-based technology training programs

Creator:: Backus, Bridgid A.
Abstract:: Two-year chemistry-based technology training (CBTT) programs in the U.S. are important in the preparation of the professional technical workforce. The purpose of this study was to identify, examine, and analyze factors related to the economic sustainability of CBTT programs. A review of literature identified four clustered categories of 31 sub-factors...

An analysis of technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmill industry

Creator:: Helvoigt, Ted L.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three components: technical change, efficiency change, and scale efficiency change. In addition, using econometric methods, changes in output elasticities and input substitution...

Contaminated communities : actively involved citizens, technical assistance, and the cleanup process

Creator:: Gaines, Lisa J.
Abstract:: In what is called participatory democracy scholars and practitioners have been calling for the involvement of citizens in decisions that affect their lives. Citizens who emerge to participate in technically complex, decision-making processes find that their involvement is often minimized, disregarded, or neglected due to barriers such as specialized scientific...

Chunking professional-technical programs to create pathways to degree completion in community colleges

Creator:: Dins, Kate
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of community colleges creating pathways to degree completion in professional-technical programs by breaking degree programs into smaller portions, referred to as "chunks." The purpose or possible advantage of chunking was that it would improve the rate of degree completion among...

Traditional ecological knowledge to develop and maintain fire regimes in northwestern California, Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion : management and restoration of culturally significant habitats

Creator:: Lake, Frank K.
Abstract:: The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American socio-cultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices. This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal...

How refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service technicians learn from troubleshooting

Creator:: Green, Denis F. H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (RHVAC) service technicians (techs) learned from troubleshooting. This understanding resulted in instructional and curricular strategies designed to help community colleges prepare vocational students to learn more effectively from informal workplace learning. RHVAC techs were studied...

1/f noise of GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates, and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction

Creator:: Choi, Mun-Seork
Abstract:: This research work focuses on the mechanism of 1/f noise in GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction in resistors, diodes, and bipolar transistors. The goal of this research is to generate accurate models to explain physical origin of 1/f noise in...

Purification and characterization of recombinant calpain-5

Creator:: Wang, Mei-Chuan
Abstract:: Recombinant human calpain-5 was expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus system. The expressed calpain-5 was purified by both traditional chromatography and by affinity-column chromatography. Both methods yielded active protease. Calpain-5 displayed very limited hydrophobicity. This indicated that calpain-5 is not a membrane binding protein. Calpain-5 had pI of 8.3....

Quantitative resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei in barley near-isogenic (BISON) lines

Creator:: Richardson, Kelley L.
Abstract:: Quantitative resistance (QR) to disease is usually more durable than qualitative resistance, but its genetic basis is not well understood. We used the barley/barley stripe rust pathosystem as a model for the characterization of the QR phenotype and associated genomic regions. As an intermediate step in the preparation of near-isogenic...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:: Garcia, Carlos Manalo
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...
