Negotiating between conflicting discourse communities : scientists writing technical marketing copy

Creator:: Bratten, JoAnne Lynn
Abstract:: This case study investigates how scientists who write technical marketing copy experience and resolve the tension that results from the conflicting demands of their local (company) and global (research science) discourse communities. Twelve scientists, who are currently technical marketing writers at a small biotechnology company, were interviewed by e-mail over...

Financial development and technical efficiency : Georgian banking in transition, 1991-2000

Creator:: Amaghlobeli, David
Abstract:: In this study overall financial development and the performance of commercial banks in Georgia during 1991-2000 is analyzed. Georgian banking system emerged from a scratch after the country gained its independence in 1991. Initial reform path turned out to be very arduous, full of failures and disappointments. After complete chaos...

Scientists' perspectives on the importance of scientific communication in natural resource decision-making

Creator:: Shaw, Christine Michelle
Abstract:: Natural resource decisions require consideration at many levels, ranging from how one invertebrate will be affected by a nearby road, to how an entire watershed will be transformed by a massive clearcut. Considerations reach farther than just the local ecological community-human communities, economies, and future impacts on the communities and...

"No pain, no fear, no regrets": views of a good death

Creator:: Amberwood, Lee J.
Abstract:: Substantial research has shown deficits in the quality of end-of-life care in the U.S. In response to evidence of these deficits, efforts have been made to improve quality of end-of-life care. One approach has been to ask the question, "What is a good death?" Data on views of a good...

A J2EE and XML-enabled, web-based technical report management system

Creator:: Qian, Ying
Abstract:: The new Technical Report Management System (TRMS) is a client/server web application developed for the Compute Science Department. It provides web services like online browsing, viewing, searching and online database administration including creating and modifying the existing bibliographic records. It is a multi-tiered, component-based application that deploys the latest J2EE...

Catalytic desymmetrization of D₂d̳-symmertic proprochiral tetrasubstituted biphenyl compounds: a novel approach to the synthesis of axially chiral C₂-symmetric molecules

Creator:: Gunderson, Jeremey Tyson
Abstract:: Many D2d-symmetric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls are readily prepared via net oxidative dimerization of appropriate 1,3-disubstituted benzenes. Conversion of such proprochiral compounds to useful C2-symmetric chiral biphenyls requires formal replacement of two substituents on opposing aryl ring units with alternate groups. This under exploited desymmetrization tactic has been demonstrated for the generation...

3-D finite element modeling in OpenSees for bridge live-load girder distribution factors

Creator:: Scoggins, Luke A.
Abstract:: A generalized, three-dimensional, finite element bridge model was created in order to efficiently and accurately assess live-load girder distribution factors for a variety of bridge types. This model shortens the time required by bridge analysts to develop individual finite element models for bridges of varying geometries. The creation of the...

Determining localized anode condition to maintain effective corrosion protection

Creator:: Nguyen, Vinh
Abstract:: The main objective of the research is to develop a prototype device that can determine the condition of the thermally sprayed zinc anode in cathodic protection systems. The device needs to meet the following requirements: applicability in the field, non-destructiveness or minimal destructiveness of the zinc anode, ease of use...

Alternative shore protection strategies : Innovative options and management issues

Creator:: Dare, Jennifer Lyne
Abstract:: This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the selected coastal protection alternatives in a form most useful for coastal mangers. It is not intended to serve as a technical review of the engineering design of shore protection schemes. The concept, design, and application of each method are reviewed....

Impact the impact of research and training programs on the demand for grass seed in overseas markets

Creator:: Vega-H, Esteban
Abstract:: This research examines whether alternative methods of export commodity promotion and market development, such as technical training and trade servicing activities, have been successful in increasing the demand for grass seed produced in Oregon in international markets. A single equation linear input demand model and a linear model adjusted to...
