A mineral map is often of considerable value to
those interested in miring work and development. Since
there are very few, if any such maps for Oregon, we have
endeavored to cover the ground, though only in an incomplete way, since the time we had for working upon it was...
The purpose of this thesis is the determination of the load characteristics of the Steam-Hyciro-Electric Plant owned and operated by the Lebanon Electric Power and Water Co. This corporation furnishes electrical energy for power and lighting service and also the water supply to the city of Lebanon, Oregon.
During volcanic eruptions ascending magma undergoes decompression, resulting in a decrease of dissolved H2O. This creates unstable conditions for the hydrous mineral amphibole. As a result a reaction rim forms from anhydrous minerals such as pyroxene, plagioclase, and Fe-Ti oxides (Rutherford and Hill, 1993). There have been numerous studies done...
Slowly and half-heartedly the people of America have come to atone for past neglect of a poet who, under painful circumstances, produced the most distinctive and original contributions to American literature. They realize that the follies of his unfortunate life can be put aside and the weight of criticisms let...
We explore the interactions between charge transfer exciton states (CTEs) and an optical microcavity by testing the effects that cavity resonance has on the CTEs and if CTEs can be coupled with a photon to create quasiparticles known as polaritons. Exciton polaritonics is becoming a booming area of research mainly...
An important field of study within the exercise science realm lies in identifying risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries to inform injury prevention programs. One of the more serious injuries in sports, especially sports involving cutting and jumping, is sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Previous research has found that...
The following discussion is confined mostly to
that type of machine in which the squirrel care revolving
secondary it used. In its most primitive form it con -

in 1870 and due to Tesla (1888), of the fact that two,...
The problem of the economical transmission of power has long been a serious one to the engineer. Formerly the power had to be generated on or near the spot where it was to be used, but now the advance that has been made in Electrical Engineering has largely done away...
Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...
This paper is a literature review and analysis of the housing policy known as Housing First. Under said policy, homeless individuals are housed prior to requisite addiction and mental health services. The literature encompasses multiple randomized controlled trials, as well as broader observational studies on Permanent Supportive Housing. The studies...
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is directly involved in breast cancer (BC) metastasis, as well as the severity of metastatic tumors. Excess PTH, caused by insufficient dietary calcium, may be an important and preventable factor affecting BC metastasis to bone. PTH levels increase with age in most women, largely due to insufficient...
Organic aggregates and transparent amorphous metals are transforming opto-electronic devices such as highly efficiency solar cells and flexible displays. We present a fundamental optical study of how local morphology critically impacts the device performance of both stacked, conjugated organics and In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) transparent metallic materials. Derivatives of anthradithiophene (ADT): ADTTES-F,...
"In 1862 Secretary Chase recommended a scheme for
the management of National Banks which was modeled
after the New York Act, A bill embodying the principal
measures proposed by the Secretary was passed in
1863. The plan, however, proved to be inoperative,
and was superseded by the Act of June...
Marine sediment core OC1706B-02J ( 46° 15.4178 N, 125° 42.4543 W, at water depth 2263m), was collected on the lower continental slope near the base of the Willapa Canyon. It is a rapidly accumulating site (~30cm/kyr) located near the thrust front of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The site is also...
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...
"The literature that has been produced in the
South springs from the depth and fullness of the southern nature; it is all picturesque, in one manner or an
other. Creative art is everywhere evident, especially
in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The works of George
Washington Cable receive vitality...
Does the wage gap exist in careers that require higher levels of educational attainment? Research indicates that, on average, women make around 80% of what men earn. This study aims to investigate the relationship between educational attainment and the magnitude of the wage gap. Due to the differences in gender...
Much has been accomplished in the last few years
toward the conservation of natural resources, and in
this work the engineer has taken a leading part. The
prevention of unnecessary waste, the utilization of
hitherto useless by-products, and the economic production of the world's necessities are important features of this...
