A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Projectile Point Maintenance using Experimental Resharpening Techniques: An Examination of PFP1 Curation, Cooper’s Ferry Site, Idaho

Creator:: Skinner, Sarah M.
Abstract:: The incorporation of experimental archaeology into the study of lithic technologies has provided archaeologists with a framework to understand past behaviors. The analysis of stone tools has the potential to reveal morphologic characteristics unique to the manufacture, use, and maintenance of stone tools. The implementation of controlled experiments to identify...

The Influence of NGO Strategies on the Sustainability of Biosand Water Filters in Cambodia

Creator:: Whinnery, Jaynie L.
Abstract:: This essay evaluates the effectiveness of NGO strategies to promote program sustainability using a case study of two NGOs that install biosand water filters in Cambodia. While the ownership-focused strategy of cost-sharing is the most commonly used and studied, there is evidence to suggest that certain more neglected strategies can...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...

Dietary acculturation among Oregon Latinos : factors affecting food choice

Creator:: Vanegas, Sarah Marie
Abstract:: This study sought to examine food choice motives and influences among Oregon Latinos to gain a greater understanding of their dietary acculturation. Previous studies relying principally on quantitative methods to assess the relationship between acculturation and diet have reported inconsistent results, though a general decline in diet quality is reported...

Assessing Mercury Levels, Health Metrics, and Immune Function in Non-stranded Male California and Steller Sea Lions in Oregon

Creator:: Rae, Samantha N.
Abstract:: California and Steller sea lions (Zalophus californianus, Eumetopias jubatus, respectively) are considered sentinel species because they have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed at high trophic levels, and have large blubber stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic toxicants. There are few studies on sea lion health and...

Phase distribution parameter determination by neutron radiography

Creator:: Skinner, Jesse B.
Abstract:: A phase distribution parameter has been added to the one-dimensional two-phase horizontal flow conservation equations. The phase distribution parameter was incorporated into the conservation equations in an attempt to add stability and remove correlation switching by incorporating gravity. Determination of the phase distribution parameter requires an average void fraction profile...

Effect of ascorbic acid supplementation on vitamin B₁₂ in plasma of elderly women

Creator:: Skinner, Jean Dingman
Abstract:: Plasma vitamin B₁₂ concentrations of 16 elderly women were measured using the growth response of the microorganism, Ochromonas malhamensis. The method required major modifications which are described in detail. All women had plasma concentrations of vitamin B₁₂ above the normal minimum of 200 pg/ml despite the fact that the diets...

The bionomics of the cabbage flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), in western Oregon

Creator:: Meister, Herman Skinner
Abstract:: The cabbage flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was introduced into the United States from Europe during the 1920's and 1930's. It was described as a new species, P. columbiana, native to North America by F. H. Chittenden in 1927. This synonymic situation was discovered in 1953 after P. cruciferae...

The photoelectric current from the light emergent side of thin silver films as a function of thickness

Creator:: Skinner, John George
Abstract:: This investigation is a study of how the magnitude and energy distribution of the photoelectric current from the light emergent side of thin silver films varies with film thickness. The Fowler-Dubridge graphical analysis of the energy distribution of photoelectrons is used to determine the energy of the most energetic of...
