The methodology, implementation, and analysis of the isotopic composition of soil respired CO₂ in forest ecological research

Creator:: Kayler, Zachary Eric
Abstract:: Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soil is soil respiration which is typically categorized into autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. These two components...

Historical Sources of Science-as-Social-Practice: Michael Polanyi's Berlin

Creator:: Nye, Mary Jo
Abstract:: Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...

A validity study for the kaizen event kick-off survey

Creator:: Mitchell, Rebecca M.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to support a research project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of the NSF research project was to determine how to design kaizen events that result in both short term and long term performance improvements. One of the tools developed to evaluate the...

Applying the McDonaldization thesis and norm activation model to examine trends and effects of commercial outdoor recreation and tourism in Juneau, Alaska

Creator:: Janson, Sera
Abstract:: As recreation and tourism visitation increases and government budgets decrease, public land management agencies are using private commercial operators as an alternative source of offering products and services. Changes and trends in commercial outdoor recreation and tourism such as a large scale increase in the number of visitors can affect...

Spatial and temporal movement patterns of wintering Dunlin (Calidris alpina) and Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Sanzenbacher, Peter M.
Abstract:: Avian movement behavior provides insight on patterns of regional and local fidelity, habitat and resource requirements, the scale at which individuals perceive the landscape, and the relative influence of the spatial array of resources. Shorebirds (suborder: Charadrii) are a diverse and mobile group of wetland associated species. Large numbers of...

Recruiting physicians in Oregon : recruitment theory and practical strategies

Creator:: Seifert, Nancy L.
Abstract:: This research sought to identify the reasons physicians attributed for practicing in Oregon, the reasons for relocating out of Oregon, and the reasons for failures in recruiting physicians to Oregon. A random sample survey of 494 Oregon physicians identified the presence of economic and non-economic factors related to the recruitment...

Diurnal and subdiurnal variability in the Mars Pathfinder Presidential meteorology sessions

Creator:: Bennett, Scott
Abstract:: The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) arrived on the Martian surface on 4 July 1997 to become only the third successful landed mission to Mars, recording surface meteorological data intermittently over a period of 83 Martian days ("sols"). The in situ observations made by the MPF meteorology (MET) experiment were recorded at...

Nitrogen isotopes in a global ocean biogeochemical model : constraints on the coupling between denitrification and nitrogen fixation

Creator:: Somes, Christopher J.
Abstract:: We present a new nitrogen isotope model incorporated into the three-dimensional ocean component of a global Earth System Climate Model designed for millennial timescale simulations. The model includes prognostic tracers for the stable nitrogen isotopes, ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N, in the nitrate (NO₃ˉ), phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus variables of the marine...

A study of whale watching visitor's cognitive constructs in relation to a whale watching outreach program : An assessment of past experience, value orientations, awareness of actions, and conceptual knowledge structure

Creator:: Christensen, Alicia H.
Abstract:: Given the current state of our oceans, the Pew Oceans Commission (1993) has strongly recommended that increased efforts be made towards ocean literacy. Informal education and outreach programs like the Whale Watching Spoken Here program are important contributors to life-long learning. However, there is little research looking at how these...

Yaquina Bay bibliography, January 2006

Creator:: Webster, Janet G. and Hiveley, Heather
Abstract:: Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
