Relationships and Expectations for Educational Achievement of Foster Youth

Creator:: Calvert, Robert C. (Robert Christian)
Abstract:: Youth in foster care often perform at lower levels academically than those not in foster care. Prior research on the nature of the relationships that affect former foster youth's educational path has been inconclusive. Though it is widely believed that positive relationships with faculty, staff and peers is beneficial for...

The Professional Identity of Community College Faculty Members

Creator:: Mohrbacher, Robert C.
Abstract:: Background: Previous studies suggested that the professional identity of community college faculty is less than clearly articulated. Lack of clarity with regard to professional identity may have impacts in a number of areas, including recruitment, professional development, and the overall reputation of community colleges. Purpose: To examine how community college...

A modeling and empirical study of a novel bimodal natural gas internal combustion engine with fuel compression capability

Creator:: Elgin, Robert C., III
Abstract:: Given the current abundant supply and cheap price of natural gas (NG) in the United States, there is a significant opportunity to use this fuel for transportation. However, there are few fueling stations for consumers. To address this need, a dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all...

Quantitative trait loci mapping of yield, its related traits, and spike morphology factors in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Gaynor, Robert C.
Abstract:: Increasing grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a challenging task, because yield is a complex trait controlled by many genes and highly influenced by environmental factors. The genetic control of yield components and other traits associated with yield may be less complex and thus more manageable for breeding....

It's not whether you win or lose; it's how the game is played: the influence of suspenseful sports programming on advertising

Creator:: Bee, Colleen C. and Madrigal, Robert
Abstract:: The current research investigates the interplay of program suspense, game outcome, advertisement placement, and ad execution on viewer reactions to advertising embedded in sports programming. In support of excitation transfer theory, results indicate that ad emotional response, attitude toward the ad, and attitude toward the brand are heightened immediately following...

Development and Operation of a Self-Refueling Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle

Creator:: Elgin, Robert C., III and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: A dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all engine cylinders fire normally, providing locomotion for the vehicle. In the other mode, one cylinder of the engine is used to compress low pressure residential natural gas (NG), in multiple stages, to a standard U.S. compressed natural gas (CNG)...

An Evaluation of Putative Sympatric Speciation within Limnanthes (Limnanthaceae)

Creator:: Meyers, Stephen C., Liston, Aaron, and Meinke, Robert
Abstract:: Limnanthes floccosa ssp. floccosa and L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora are two of five subspecies within Limnanthes floccosa endemic to vernal pools in southern Oregon and northern California. Three seasons of monitoring natural populations have quantified that L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora is always found growing sympatrically with L. floccosa ssp. floccosa...

A Severity Rating System for Evaluating Stand-Level Balsam Woolly Adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) Damage in Two Abies Species in Western North America

Creator:: Hrinkevich, Kathryn H., Progar, Robert A., and Shaw, David C.
Abstract:: Severity rating systems are fundamental to understanding the impacts of disturbance agents in forest stands. The balsam woolly adelgid (BWA), Adelges piceae (Ratzeburg) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), is an invasive forest pest in North America that infests and causes mortality in true fir, Abies spp. There is currently no single system for...

Sediment Transport Study: Phase Two: Baseline Observations and Characterization of Sediment Transport Processes for the Reedsport Wave Energy Site

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Holman, Robert A., and Allen, Jonathan C.
Abstract:: This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and involved continuation of the beach monitoring program begun in summer 2009 to determine baseline conditions and beach variability at the site of the planned Reedsport wave energy conversion...

Multi-location wheat stripe rust QTL analysis: genetic background and epistatic interactions

Creator:: Vazquez, M. Dolores, Zemetra, Robert, Peterson, C. James, Chen, Xianming M., Heesacker, Adam, and Mundt, Christopher C.
Abstract:: Stripe rust is a foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by the air-borne fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici and is present in most regions around the world where commercial wheat is grown. Breeding for durable resistance to stripe rust continues to be a priority, but also is...
