  • Women engineering transfer students : the community college experience

    Creator:
    Patterson, Susan J.
    Abstract:
    An interpretative philosophical framework was applied to a case study to document the particular experiences and perspectives of ten women engineering transfer students who once attended a community college and are currently enrolled in one of two university professional engineering programs. This study is important because women still do not...

  • Engineering analysis of a rotary dryer : drying of wood particles

    Creator:
    Kamke, Frederick A.
    Abstract:
    Rotary dryers are the most commonly used wood drying system in the particleboard industry. These dryers also play an increasingly important role in drying wood residues for fuel. Many potential benefits may be realized through an improved understanding of the rotary drying process. A rotary dryer simulation model was developed,...

  • Biosynthetic engineering of new pactamycins

    Creator:
    Lu, Wanli
    Abstract:
    Among the myriad of naturally occurring bioactive compounds are the aminocyclopentitol-containing natural products that represent a family of sugar-derived microbial secondary metabolites, such as the antibiotics pactamycin, allosamidin, and trehazolin. Pactamycin, a structurally unique aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces pactum, consists of a 5-membered ring aminocyclitol (cyclopentitol) unit, two aromatic...

  • Oregon industrial and engineering teacher's perceived professional development needs

    Creator:
    Moon, Dale E.
    Abstract:
    Professional development is a critical part of education, especially in career and technical education (CTE). CTE programs have rapidly changing technological foundations, and while the CTE teachers' primary focus is to prepare students for entry-level positions in their occupational areas, CTE teachers are also required to embed academics into their...

  • An economic analysis of the demand for graduate education

    Creator:
    Khan, Ahmad Saeed
    Abstract:
    This study is an economic analysis of enrollment demand for graduate education at Oregon State University as well as in the United States. For the analysis of Oregon State University data on new graduate enrollment, data were obtained for 27 academic departments with 10 observations per department. The most important...

  • Leadership, Mathematics, and Science Integration in Secondary Agricultural Education

    Creator:
    McKim, Aaron J.
    Abstract:
    Research exploring methods to improve student learning of leadership, mathematics, and science in the United States is critically important. In this study, I sought to delve into the potential for student learning of leadership, mathematics, and science within the context of school-based agricultural education. Recognizing the teacher as a gatekeeper...

  • Evaluating the Efficacy of Predicting Bycatch Mortality Using Reflex Impairment through an Assessment of Crab Discards

    Creator:
    Yochum, Noëlle
    Abstract:
    All animals that interact with fishing gear are not necessarily captured, and all animals that are captured are not necessarily retained. Fishing practices and gear configuration, management regulations, and markets dictate which animals ultimately are retained or discarded. The impact of a fishery and the efficacy of management regulations can...

  • Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

    Creator:
    Cusack, Christopher Inju
    Abstract:
    Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

  • Low-temperature depuration and low-temperature high hydrostatic pressure processing as post-harvest interventions for diminishing Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination in oysters

    Creator:
    Phuvasate, Sureerat
    Abstract:
    Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis associated with consumption of seafood, particularly raw oysters. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 45,000 cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection occur each year in the U.S. A recent CDC report revealed that the incidence of...
