Before we can write intelligently concerning
any subject, we must understand exactly what we are
writing about. As the title tells us, this thesis
deals exclusively with the work and incidentally with
the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, two
notable nineteenth century poets.
The purpose of this project was to optimize the biomass growth of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21. This was achieved by studying the effect of various concentrations of glucose, use of pure glycerol and purified crude glycerol as alternative carbon sources, and inhibition of cell growth with the presence of copper. The...
Epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS seeks to determine at-risk populations not reached by current care. In the forty years since the AIDS epidemic began, transgender people were only recently deemed “at-risk” by the CDC and more action was taken to study them. Most current research centers on transgender women, with transgender...

Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...
Research Objective:
Determine if disparities in the allocation of lifesaving organs, specifically the kidney and liver, exist between low and non-low socioeconomic status (SES) groups in the US.
Study Design:
A literature review will be conducted to examine anticipated inequalities between patients of different SES. Potential causes of the disparity...
The Supreme Court Bar-the lawyers who argue before the US Supreme Court-has historically been an elite and exclusive group. This investigation examines the demographic make-up of the Supreme Court Bar in the Roberts Court and compares it to previous iterations of the Supreme Court Bar, as well as the national...
Cell counting is a key tool used in biological and clinical laboratories, but at present, commercial cell counters are large and expensive. CMOS technology is a promising platform for creating small, low-cost sensors but currently lacks a robust method of directly interfacing these sensors with the microfluidic networks needed for...
The West Fork Smith River, a 69 km2 watershed in the Coast Range of Oregon, is prone to short periods of very high water temperature in mid-summer due to a combination of human and natural influences. In the summers of 2003 and 2004 more than 400 juvenile coho salmon regularly...
Wave energy has a promising future, especially for the Pacific Northwest, and Oregon, pioneering the way to meet Oregon’s goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025. The project represents a significant ability to harness the untapped potential energy of ocean waves, and maintains the potential to replace standard power sources...
