We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in, several higher order (in space) staggered finite difference schemes for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the...
In June 2009, LAMP appointed a task force to develop a circulating Amazon Kindle program. In November 2009, five Kindle e-book readers were placed in circulation. This report describes the questions addressed, decisions made, and the circulating program as it is currently configured.
This presentation was given at the University of Oregon Libraries on January 21, 2010. "Rights Well" was developed at the Oregon State University Libraries as part of the Scholarly Communication Program. The presentation addresses the importance of authors' rights (why authors should care) and methods for developing a presentation specific...
Graduate students from across all departments at OSU were invited to participate in focus groups to share their insights about current and potential research spaces and services. Themes were created based on the participants’ responses. The space theme clearly points to a desire for graduate student-specific space at OSU, particularly...
This comprehensive bibliography is collection of refereed research related to climate change, wetlands and wetland restoration published before January 1, 2008.
The video "Harold Otley AV-Oral History 362" was filmed by Dorothea Purdy & Barbara Lofgren at the Harney County Library on June the 8th, 1994, in Burns, Oregon. A copy of the transcript is included.
This oral history is part of the Claire McGill Luce Western History Room at the...
The Lakes Basin Bibliography consists of over 600 references relating to the natural resources of Oregon’s Lakes Basin. Forty percent of the items listed are available to anyone online though not all links are persistent. The remaining sixty percent are held in at least one library either in print or...
We use a combinatorial approach to study the trajectory of a light ray constrained to Euclidian plane R^2 with random reflecting obstacles placed throughout R^2. For the 2D Lorentz lattice gas (LLG) model we derive an analogue of Russo's formula of increasing events in percolation.
