  • 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...

  • An atom approach to assessing the outlier properties of probability models

    Creator:
    Hanlen, Richard C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the problem of developing a method to categorize probability models by their outlier properties. There have been two such categorization methods proposed in the literature. Neyman and Scott (1971) classify an entire family of distributions into the outlier properties outlier-prone completely (OPC) and outlier resistant....

  • G, a language based on demand-driven stream evaluations

    Creator:
    Placer, John R.
    Abstract:
    A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...

  • An evaluation of alternative estimates of demand for and benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing

    Creator:
    Hsiao, Ching-kai
    Abstract:
    The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...

  • 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...

  • Infrared spectra and geometry of matrix isolated rare-earth and IIIB metal fluorides

    Creator:
    Wesley, Robert Dee
    Abstract:
    The infrared absorption spectra (40-800 cm⁻¹) of the trifluorides of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb isolated in solid argon, krypton and nitrogen matrices have been obtained. For PrF₃ the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes were observed; PrF₃ is accordingly assigned a...

  • 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...
