Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.”
The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on,...

Monitoring the performance of electrical utility assets is a critical activity for power companies. Gas chromatography has long been established as the analytical technique of choice for assessment of transformer fault conditions by detection of the presence of key fault gases through analysis of transformer oil. Chromatography is one of...
As XML becomes more and more popular, easy-to-use and powerful XML query languages are in great need. Xing is a visual query and restructuring language for XML documents. The objective of this project is to develop a basic version of Xing, including a user-oriented XML query interface and a simple...
The comfortable, sunny climate and numerous
recreational activities east of the Cascade Mountain
Range in Oregon and Washington attract many
new residents each year. Unfortunately, these new residents
often fi nd that their previous gardening experience doesn’t
translate into success in their new environment. Long-time
residents also are frustrated by...
This paper presents an overview of cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). The technology of cogeneration is described and the three primary cogeneration processes are discussed. The transition between parallel operation with the utility and stand-alone operation is discussed. The tradeoff between a synchronous and an induction...
The goals of Oregon livestock producers are parallel to those of the American Dream—to enjoy an occupation of raising livestock, provide for their families, be independent, and avoid unwarranted criticism and interference. For Oregon livestock producers to stay in business and remain on the ranch, they must be efficient, responsible...
Section I contains an introduction to the subject of Scientific Evidence Review. Section II reviews Oregon state mandates to use “best available science” in policymaking and summarizes ODF efforts to address these mandates. Section III provides an overview of Systematic Evidence Reviews and how they are conducted in the fields...
What is the foggiest place on the Pacific Coast?
Where is the "grass seed capital of the world"?
What is the fastest-growing minority population in the Northwest?
What percentage of Idaho's population hold fishing licenses?
Northwest natives and newcomers can turn to the Atlas of the Pacific Northwest for answers...
Provides distribution, host-plant, life history, habits, signs of damage, and identification information for the cereal leaf beetle, first found in Oregon in 1999. Discusses methods of chemical and biological control. Includes information on California's quarantine on agricultural products from Oregon and four color photographs of the cereal leaf beetle and...
Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...
Since 2001, librarians at Oregon State University’s Valley Library have been working to build a “teaching library” supported by a clearly articulated instruction program. From the start, we believed that we needed to assess the “teaching library’s” impact, not only to determine the success or failure of our efforts but...
Personalization is defined as a process that facilitates interaction among consumers and providers such that individual consumers are enabled to more readily access the content and services of providers, and individual providers are enabled to more effectively and easily deliver their content and services to consumers. This project presents a...
In taking a multidimensional approach to selected areas of the much neglected sport marriage, this article identifies and examines the survival strategies used by wives in coping with stressful occupational events in the careers of their husbands. Using a control management perspective, the idea of control work is introduced and...

The National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) sponsored the Diversity, Multiculturalism, and Inclusivity Survey during the Spring, 2009. OSU along with several other institutions participated in the survey.
This study was undertaken in order to understand better OSU students’ perceptions related to diversity at OSU.
Drip irrigation is the slow, even application of low-pressure water to soil and plants using plastic tubing placed near the plants’ root zone. It is an
alternative to sprinkler or furrow methods of irrigating crops. Drip irrigation can be used for crops with high or low water demands.
OSU has engaged in surveying entering first year students during the summer START sessions for seven years using the CIRP Freshman Survey. Understanding the experiences, expectations, and goals of first year students aids in planning and developing services that will better meet the needs of this ever-changing population of students....
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices ( within the limits of experimentation) or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with three to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprayers. Unless otherwise indicated, preplant...

BIOMAP (Biogeochemistry model (BIOME-BGC) - Mapped Atmospheric Plant Soil System (MAPSS)) is a computer program that predicts ecosystem distribution and behavior over spatial grid cells of 10km at a daily timestep. It needs to consider events like fire for a more realistic prediction. This project involved integrating a new fire...
This paper discusses Java Bytecode Obfuscation techniques that make the reverse engineering task more difficult. This paper is structured as follows: Java virtual machine and Java language specifications are discussed first. Then the paper talks about different techniques for protecting software and then details one promising approach named Obfuscation. The...
A preproduction prototype of the MagnaGuard Coupling, model 12.5, has been tested to evaluate its performance. The coupling was tested in both deceleration and acceleration modes, to evaluate its capability to disengage jammed or stalled loads and to provide soft-start, respectively. The unit was evaluated at three different airgap settings...
In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...
