Students in Kristin Griffin's Fall 2012 WR222 Argumentation class worked in groups to create podcasts in which they considered some aspect of Oregon State's culture, community and/or geography as it was in the past and how it is today. Their research was based in the Special Collections & Archives and...

With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, is performed for an axisymmetric, confined jet impingement experiencing boiling and coupled with vapor extraction. Boiling occurs at the target surface while...
An overview of the 2012 Oregon Tribal Archives Institute published in the Society of American Archivist's newsletter "Archival Outlook" as part of the Jan/Feb 2013 issue, pages 8-9 and 26.
This PowerPoint presentation contains selected images pertaining to Forest Pest Management in various regions of the United States. Viewers are welcome to use this PowerPoint or any images contained therein. The material has been assembled during much of the author’s career, so proper attribution would be appreciated when used. Simply...
An important challenge in machine learning is to find ways of learning quickly from very small amounts of training data. The only way to learn from small data samples is to constrain the learning process by exploiting background knowledge. In this report, we present a theoretical analysis on the use...
Haiti's political and economy history has led to a maternity care system that lies out of reach, geographically and financially, of most Haitians, resulting in excessively high maternal and infant mortality. The most common birth practitioners are homebirth midwives (matwòns), who attend roughly three-fourths of all births in Haiti (UNICEF),...

In 1746, Dr John Buchanan, a recently retired medical officer in the British Army, produced a manuscript, 'Regimental Practice, or a Short History of Diseases common to His Majesties own Royal Regiment of Horse Guards when abroad (Commonly called the Blews).' Revised almost until the time of Buchanan's death in...
Understanding the transport and retention of radionuclides in the environment is important for protecting freshwater supplies and minimizing impact to biologic systems. Technetium-99 (Tc⁹⁹) is a radionuclide of interest due to its long half-life (2.13 x 10⁵ years) and toxicity. In the form of pertechnetate (TcO₄⁻), Tc is expected to...
Cryopreservation of adherent cells may be advantageous for cell types that are difficult to
preserve in suspension or when it is necessary to preserve characteristics of the adherent cultured cells. Vitrification is a promising procedure for the preservation of adherent cells that prevents ice crystal formation and the resulting dissociation...
Stabilization of the Yaquina Bay shoreline along the northeastern edge of the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) campus became necessary to halt erosion that threatened both HMSC critical infrastructure (seawater storage tank) and public access to the HMSC Nature Trail. A Dynamic Revetment (gravel beach) was installed in November, 2011...
More than 30 members of the diverse amphidinolide family of biologically active macrolides have been isolated over last three decades. From this family, amphidinolides C and F stand among the most complex and densely functionalized affiliates. Recently, we have accomplished the first total synthesis of amphidinolide F. The all-carbon framework...
This is the PowerPoint (PDF) file for a 60-minute workshop for graduate students covering data management best practices. Topics covered include general recommendations for data management in terms of planning, data description (metadata), file formats and naming conventions, ethics and consent, copyright, and sharing and archiving of data. The workshop...
from the summer dry season to the winter wet season. Such movement that connects summer and winter habitats may be particularly important for coho salmon, O. kisutch, because availability of overwintering habitat can limit freshwater survival for this species. Here, I describe basin-scale variability in the spatial pattern of fall...
There are many different types of automatic data collection technologies that have been used in transportation system applications such as pneumatic tubes, radar, video cameras, inductive loops detectors, wireless toll tags, and global positioning systems (GPS). Nevertheless, there are still multiple examples of important and helpful transportation system data that...
This dissertation examines properties and representations of several isotropic Gaussian random fields in the unit ball in d-dimensional Euclidean space. First we consider Lévy's Brownian motion. We use an integral representation for the covariance function to find a new expansion for Lévy's Brownian motion as an infinite linear combination of...
