Detrital Influences on Soil Carbon Stabilization in Wet Temperate Forest Soils

Creator:: Pierson, Derek N.
Abstract:: Soils, with their potential to store and stabilize carbon (C), are an essential resource for sustaining forest productivity, as well as for efforts to reduce atmospheric C concentrations. Protecting existing soil C and harnessing the sequestration potential of our soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil...

An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

Creator:: Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
Abstract:: The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

Waving Arms to Teach & Learn Quantum Mechanics

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...

Sensemaking Throughout the Physics Curriculum: Understanding Expert and Student Ideas About Sensemaking in a Physics Context

Creator:: Lenz, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...

Students' Understanding of Discrete and Continuous Systems in Quantum Mechanics and Computation's Supporting Role

Creator:: Solorio, Christian D.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics is increasingly being taught with a spins-first approach where instructors use simple spin systems to introduce the principles of quantum mechanics rather than systems with wavefunctions. One of the defining characteristics of a spins-first approach is that systems studied have discrete bases, whereas systems with wavefunctions have continuous...

Validity of preschool language intervention programs

Creator:: Wright-Fromherz, Robin Elizabeth
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of using an early childhood language intervention program with children who had been determined to be language delayed at the ages of 3, 4 and 5 and to determine how the early childhood langauge intervention program was associated with changes...

Supporting Learning and Thinking with Multiple Representations in Upper Division Physics Courses

Creator:: Alfson, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: Physicists solve problems and communicate their work using many external representations, such as equations, words, diagrams, graphs, sketches, pictures, and more. To learn physics, then, students must learn to use external representations. In this dissertation, I present three manuscripts. Each manuscript discusses how upper-division Paradigms in Physics students use multiple...

The effect of auditory subliminal deactivating messages on motor and task performance of hyperkinetic children

Creator:: Gaethke-Brandt, Jane E.
Abstract:: The effects of a subliminal auditory stimulus on the motor activity and task performance skills of hyperkinetic children were investigated. Fifteen boys between seven and twelve years of age, who were enrolled in one of three treatment groups for hyperactivity, were recruited for this study. Each child participated, weekly, in...

Tropical Fruit Aroma: Relevance to Oregon White Wines, the Effect of Winemaking Processes on Fermentation Esters and Volatile Thiol Levels, and the Relationship Between Sensory Perception and Volatile Chemistry

Creator:: Iobbi, Angelica
Abstract:: Aroma is one of the major components that determines the quality of wine and consumer acceptability. Fruitiness is a highly desirable aroma quality in white wines and has been well accepted by consumers across the globe. Tropical fruit aroma has been substantially studied in Sauvignon Blanc wines due to its...
