An Exploration of Scholarship on Peer Review in Composition Studies : Looking to the Future with Replicable, Aggregated, and Data-Supported Research Methodologies

Creator:: Day, Jacob E.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the nature of evidence in scholarship on peer review in composition studies. I argue that the nature of evidence present in scholarship on peer review over the past three decades is typically anecdotal, theoretical, and based on limited case studies. I argue that peer review research in...

The slow emergence of the "new father" : understanding fathers' perceptions of messages about fatherhood

Creator:: Day, Jack K.
Abstract:: The concept of the "new father" has been discussed in the literature and popular media for over 25 years. Yet current studies regarding father involvement continue to show that fathers do not contribute equally to childcare and domestic labor, even among parents in dual-income families. Furthermore, as roles within families...

Large volume (1,800 µL) injection HPLC/MS/MS for the quantitative determination of illicit drugs and human urinary biomarkers in municipal wastewater

Creator:: Chiaia Hernandez, Aurea C.
Abstract:: A sensitive, selective, rapid analytical method based on large-volume injection (LVI) liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry was developed using commercially-available hardware that eliminates the need for either off-line or on-line solid phase extraction. Centrifugation followed by the direct injection of 1,800 µL was used for the quantification of illicit drugs,...

Benefits of Geographic Information Systems for State and Regional Ocean Management

Creator:: Sowers, Derek C.
Abstract:: The current and potential benefits of using geographic information systems (GIS) to support state-level and regional-scale ocean management in the United States are evaluated. Specifically, the role of GIS in facilitating improved integration of management strategies for a variety of resource use issues across multiple management jurisdictions is examined, along...

Analysis of marine resource conflicts in two North Central Chilean fishing villages

Creator:: Qashu, Susan E.
Abstract:: In 1992, amendments to the Fishing and Aquaculture Law required rural communities to organize into syndicates or cooperatives and to create resource management plans. Once the Chilean Fisheries Service (SERNAP) approves these plans, villages could manage designated subtidal and intertidal areas. In response to these amendments, two villages, Puerto Aldea...

Eyes on the Seafloor : Using Video Tools to Monitor Benthic Communities at Dredged Material Disposal Sites at the Mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:: Fields, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) is an intersection of more than a river and ocean, but also multiple economically valuable activities including dredging to maintain a deep draft shipping channel and an active Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) fishery. More than three million cubic meters of sediment are annually...

A method for the determination of the free fatty acids of Cheddar cheese

Creator:: Bills, Donald D.
Abstract:: The free fatty acids of Cheddar cheese are important components in the over-all flavor and aroma of the cheese. Although the more volatile fatty acids probably contribute most, there is reason to believe that the higher fatty acids may contribute, to some extent, in imparting typical flavor characteristics. Before the...

Evaporative heat loss of the upper Middle Fork of the John Day River, northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Benner, David A.
Abstract:: Evaporation was studied along the Middle Fork of the John Day River in northeastern Oregon. Evaporation pans and various meteorological sensors recorded data at nine sites during the summer of 1998; measurements were made at each site over a 3-4 day period. A Dalton-type evaporation model was produced using water...

Evaluation of seismic response directional combination rules for existing plan irregular reinforced concrete buildings

Creator:: Hussain, Syed Baqir
Abstract:: In this thesis, the effectiveness of the 100 percent + XX percent seismic response directional combination rule available in codes and standards is evaluated using simulated nonlinear seismic response of two existing multi-story reinforced concrete plan-irregular buildings. The 5-story and 8-story buildings were designed according to the 1975 seismic codes...

Impact of Armillaria and annosus root diseases on stand and canopy structure, species diversity, and down woody material in a central Oregon mixed-conifer forest

Creator:: Fields, Kristen L. N.
Abstract:: White and grand fir are both valuable components of the mixed-conifer stand structure managed for late-successional reserves in central Oregon. However, they are often short-lived species because of high susceptibility to root diseases, defoliating insects, bark beetles, and wildfire. This study focuses on the effects of root diseases caused by...

An assessment of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) spawning habitat for present and pre-impoundment river conditions in a section of the John Day Reservoir, Columbia River

Creator:: Sheer, Mindi B.
Abstract:: The Columbia River system in the Pacific Northwest is currently comprised of a series of reservoirs, resulting from regulation of river flow due to a series of hydroelectric dams. A return to pre-dam conditions might improve salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) survival rates and increase migration efficiency. This study modeled both historic...

Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Alumbaugh, Robert E.
Abstract:: Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...
