"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...

Submarine plateau volcanism and Cretaceous Ocean Anoxic Event 1a : geochemical evidence from Aptian sedimentary sections

Creator:: Walczak, Paul S.
Abstract:: Marine sediments exceptionally rich in organic carbon, known as black shales, occur globally but intermittently in well correlated Cretaceous successions. The presence of black shales indicates that sporadic, ocean-wide interruption of normal respiration of marine organic matter during oxygen-deficient conditions has occurred. Submarine volcanism on a massive scale, related to...

Headwater stream macroinvertebrates of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Frady, Charles H.
Abstract:: Recent studies of headwater streams have demonstrated their importance to overall watershed biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and energy flux. However, little attention has been paid to long-term effects of forest harvest on macroinvertebrate communities in headwater streams. This study investigated headwater stream macroinvertebrate communities in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon,...

Seismotectonics of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau : moment tensoranalysis of regional seismograms

Creator:: Baur, Jan R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a detailed seismotectonic investigation of the Himalayan region and the Tibetan plateau as part of project HiCLIMB to explore the state of stress and the kinematics of the world’s largest continental collision zone. Using full regional waveforms for moment tensor inversion, source parameters for 107 earthquakes were...

Metaphor and Bias : An In-Depth Look at CNN and Fox News Channel

Creator:: Duncan, Sara R.
Abstract:: This study links together two very complicated, but very important subjects: media bias and metaphor. More specifically, this study investigates whether or not examining a media outlet's use of metaphor is an effective methodology for investigating media bias. Using cluster analysis, I identified the source metaphors most commonly used on...

Magma chamber processes over the past 475,000 years at Mount Hood, Oregon : insights from crystal zoning and crystal size distribution studies

Creator:: Darr, Cristina M.
Abstract:: Several different petrological techniques have been applied to lava flows between 200 to 475,000 years old from Mount Hood, Oregon. Mount Hood is unusual, in comparison to nearby Mount St. Helens and Mount Jefferson, in that it has produced relatively homogeneous lava compositions over 475,000 years. Erupted lavas are mostly...

Field and laboratory strength analysis of a forest road in NW Oregon and its association with the formation of ruts

Creator:: Bord, Andrea J.
Abstract:: A one-mile section of a newly constructed forest road in Northwest Oregon was analyzed for various aspects of subgrade and surface strength and their association with the formation of ruts during the first hauling season. Field and laboratory tests were completed on the road and the road materials to determine...

Language Differences between Women and Men and the Attribution of Leadership

Creator:: Dunsworth, Sabrina J.
Abstract:: This research addresses the perception of leadership attributes in light of evaluator and target gender. It specifically investigates whether there is a difference in language usage when the evaluator is female versus when the evaluator is male. Two studies were conducted. A pre-test used instrumental development drawing from studies conducted...

Tissue weighting factors for radiation protection : derivation and parametric analysis

Creator:: Makinson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: Tissue weighting factors, w[subscript T], used to convert equivalent dose to effective dose, account for differences in radiosensitivity of various organs in the human body and allow users to compare individual organ detriment to whole body risk. They are explicitly calculated in ICRP 26, 60, and 103, although the methods...

An analysis of shielding requirements in conjunction with current radiographic imaging practices

Creator:: Mallory, Stacy L.
Abstract:: The National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements Report No. 49, originally issued on September 15, 1976, has been the primary design guide for diagnostic x-ray structural shielding in the United States. To further protect the public from various areas of medical radiation exposure, NCRP issued Report 116 in 1987...
