  • John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

    Creator:
    Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
    Abstract:
    John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

  • Structure-Property Relationships of Disordered Electronic Materials : From Crystalline to Amorphous

    Creator:
    Surta, Todd Wesley, Jr.
    Abstract:
    Two perovskite materials (Bi0.5(A)0.5)(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3, where A = K+ and Na+ were synthesized phase pure for the first time. Their structures were determined by indexing synchrotron X-ray diffraction data and subsequent combined Rietveld refinement on neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data revealing significant disorder on the A-sites of these materials. A...

  • Nitrogen release from granules of sulfur-coated urea

    Creator:
    Jarrell, Wesley M.
    Abstract:
    Sulfur-coated urea (SCU) is a slow release nitrogen fertilizer manufactured by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Urea granules are sprayed with molten sulfur, then holes in the sulfur coating are sealed with a layer of wax sealant. The sulfur coatings are mixtures of amorphous and crystalline allotropes of sulfur. Coating thickness...

  • Coordination and cooperation between community colleges and community schools in selected community college districts

    Creator:
    Weiss, Marvin Wesley
    Abstract:
    The most important purposes of this study were to: (1) determine the extent of cooperation and coordination that currently exists in selected community colleges which have community school programs in their college districts, and (2) clarify the multi-roles of community schools and of community education in community colleges. Other purposes...

  • Air photo analysis of waste dispersion from ocean outfalls

    Creator:
    James, Wesley Pierce
    Abstract:
    Aerial photography provides a method of analyzing dispersion of wastes that are discharged into the ocean. This method is more comprehensive than conventional boat sampling in dispersion studies. The photographic technique permits waste concentrations to be measured throughout the plume in one instant; thereby allowing the diffusion analysis to be...

  • Clay mineralogy and related chemical properties of soils formed on Mazama pumice

    Creator:
    Chichester, Frederick Wesley
    Abstract:
    A sequence of soil profiles was sampled along a climate-vegetation transect on the dated Mazama pumice fall in central Oregon. The <2 μ size fraction from each sample was characterized with respect to the relative significance of amorphous and crystalline components, and the individual minerals of the latter group were...

  • A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

    Creator:
    Kash, Laurel Renee
    Abstract:
    Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...

  • Phenolic oxidative coupling : an approach to the synthesis of pretazettine

    Creator:
    Chong, Wesley Kwan Mung
    Abstract:
    Various hypervalent iodine compounds were evaluated as reagents for intramolecular phenolic oxidative coupling. It was found that phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) was effective for the coupling of the monophenolic substrate 13a to 14a under neutral conditions. Vanadium oxytrifluoride and hypervalent iodine compounds were compared as oxidants for the conversion of 32 to...

  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • The behavior of economic agents and market performance

    Creator:
    Gokhale, Jayendra
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses issues concerning the behavior of firms, which has significant effects on performance. In the first study, we empirically investigate the effect of the reduction in number of firms on price competition in the U.S. macro-brewing industry. The number of macro brewing firms decreased from 766 in 1935...
