Deaf students in mainstream colleges are withdrawing at an alarming rate. Approximately 70% of the 123,000 deaf students enrolled in 2,300 colleges across the United States will not persist until graduation. This qualitative study examined what factors in the academic and social environment are linked to deaf college students' perceptions...
This thesis examines the representation of consumer culture in Fight Club within the context of Frederic Jameson's theory of postmodernism. I propose that the film represents consumer culture as a totalizing system. This representation is evident in the setting of the film and in the Narrator's attempt to escape from...

Oregon’s Protection from Fire Program is the largest program within the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). The program provides wildfire protection on about 15.8 million acres of mostly privately-owned Oregon forestland. Private and state interests in protecting Oregon forests from fire have been intertwined since the early 1900s when ODF...

In the past several years, international interest in gas hydrates in marine sediments has
increased considerably because of increasing recognition that the large volume of gas stored
in hydrates or trapped beneath them is a significant fraction of the global methane budget,
and may therefore be a source of energy...
Oregon State University’s recent response to the crisis in scholarly communications recognizes that teaching faculty must be involved in communicating an appropriate response to their faculty colleagues. As authors, editors, and peer reviewers, direct faculty action can encourage publishers to lower costs and can enhance the availability of research. The...
The primary purpose of this Guide is to encourage private landowners to conserve, and when appropriate, actively manage Oregon white oaks that already exist on their property, and consider planting additional oaks. In the early chapters of the Guide, we describe some of the uses and benefits of this remarkable...
The sustainable landscape model we are creating is an attempt to visually make community members aware of the water issue in our region. This xeric landscape will be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional, to represent the suitability for residential function. Water consumption is an issue in the West, typically...
The main result of this written dissertation is a mathematical solution to the problem of multiplex recording for high performance tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The prescription is to use a time-lag accelerator in the second stage to match the ion optical properties of the decay fragments to the requirements of...
Teaching assessment can be a pain. But it can also be an opportunity. This poster describes my experience with student course evaluations and the development of a supplemental assessment tool.
I teach two courses required for the college’s general education curriculum: Western Civilization and the Environment, and Natural Resources in...
This is a study of the process of collaboration between a community college and selected social service agencies for the purpose of developing an integrative social service and education delivery system, the One-Stop Center. Particular focus is on the interpersonal dynamics among the key stakeholders involved in a collaborative partnership....
The Biodiversity Monitoring Workgroup which consists of federal, state, university, NGO’s, and private landowner stakeholders who are involved in aspects of monitoring biodiversity in the states of Oregon and Washington—conceived of the idea of exploring the possibilities of creating a Regional Biodiversity Monitoring Partnership.
This thesis presents a design-oriented model for lightly doped CMOS substrates. The model predicts the substrate noise coupling between noisy digital and sensitive analog blocks in the early stages of the design. The model scales with the size and separation of these blocks and it is validated with device simulations...
Attitude and knowledge levels of physical education teachers about working with Mexican American students and families were measured using Doyle and Chng's (1994) Mexican American Attitude and Knowledge Scale (MAAKS). Multicultural training, adapted physical education training, and other relative experiences that might affect attitude and knowledge levels were analyzed.
Participants...
At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation must account for the reactive nature of the substrate. Unlike at low frequencies, where the purely resistive substrate models can be validated through DC resistance measurements, these high-frequency models, comprising reactive components, must be validated through...
A. W. N. Pugin was a driving force in the Gothic Revival movement in England during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was an architect and a writer who expounded on the virtues of reviving Gothic architecture, not only for its reflection of the sacred mystery of ancient...
This interview took place on the back porch of her house. It was laid back and she gave me coffee to drink. She was also more interested in asking me questions about who I am than actually getting interviewed. She told me that she wanted to hear what I had...
Interview by Ami Allain with Tina Copeland at about two o'clock.
Originally I was supposed to interview another person, but because she had a sudden meeting come up the day of the interview Tina Copeland stepped in to be interviewed instead. The interview took place in a little office that...

We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on
R/V Wecoma during cruise W0108a (6-25 August 2001). The cruise was a component (Survey
II) of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) experiment. The ADCP was an
RD Instruments hull-mounted 153-kHz narrowband unit. Data were...

This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...
