The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...
Purpose of the Study
The study was designed to determine whether the amount of
formal education industrial education teachers have completed does
affect their (1) attitude toward teaching and (2) performance in the
classroom. The specific questions formulated to investigate this research
were:
1. Will the amount of formal education...
The Central Oregon High Cascade Range is an anomalously mafic segment of the Cascade Arc due to ongoing intra-arc extension, which allows most magmas to traverse the crust without stalling and evolving to more evolved compositions. North Sister, a composite volcano in this arc segment, has produced a seemingly monotonous...
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the
possibility of developing high yielding wheat cultivars whose flour
would result in acceptable loaf volumes for non-traditional bread
wheat growing areas. Spring wheat germplasm employed included high
protein hexaploid derivatives from Triticum dicoccoides, and
selections from Argentina with good bread milling...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the
attitudes toward mathematics of prospective elementary
teachers and their basic understanding of mathematics.
Two hundred fourteen subjects, representing prospective teachers from Oregon State University and Western
Oregon State College participated in this study. The
responses of this total population to the...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium that has an incredible ability to survive in various extreme environments and to persist despite bombardment by all types of antimicrobial agents. Its virulence and success within a broad range of hosts are largely thanks to the strength of its biofilms. The rheology of...
Cometabolic biodegradation processes are potentially useful for the
bioremediation of hazardous waste sites. In this study the potential application of phenol-oxidizing
and nitrifying bacteria as "priming biocatalysts" was examined in the
degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aryl ethers, and aromatic
ethers. We observed that a phenol-oxidizing Pseudomonas strain cometabolically...
Soluble surimi wash water (SWW) proteins could be recovered using chitosan (Chi) complexed with alginate (Chi-Alg) generating co-products for feed formulations. Chi with a degree of deacetylation (DD) of 84% complexed with Alg at a mixing ratio (MR) of 0.2 was used to study Chi-Alg concentration and treatment time protein...
The effects of various physical parameters on the binding, uptake,
and catabolism of glucose in the marine psychrophilic bacterium,
Vibrio marinus, were studied. It was shown that shortly after
the cell was exposed to labeled glucose, the radioactive label became
rapidly associated with the cell fraction. It was also shown...
