The influence of early diagenesis on trace element and molybdenum isotope geochemistry

Creator:: Poulson, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the influence of early diagenesis on trace metal and molybdenum isotope behavior in marine and lacustrine environments. Chapter one is a synthesis of previous research in all the marine environments investigated, providing an essential geochemical context for interpreting the observed behavior of Mo in these settings. Chapter...

STEM Partnerships: Drawing on Historicity to Negotiate Tensions in Engagement

Creator:: Talamantes, Adam C.
Abstract:: This qualitative study examines how FIESTAS (Family Involved in Education, Sociocultural Teaching and STEM) partners (comprised of out-of-school time (OST) educators, university student STEM instructors, and local business representatives) came together to facilitate a local STEM Club located in two dual-immersion elementary schools in the Pacific Northwest. The study addresses...

From running birds to walking robots : optimization as a unifying framework for dynamic bipedal locomotion

Creator:: Hubicki, Christian M.
Abstract:: Bipedal locomotion is a complex phenomenon to understand and control, making it difficult for legged robots to achieve the speed, agility, efficiency, and robustness of their animal counterparts. This thesis argues for the use of numerical optimization to investigate and implement bipedal control as it applies to biology, dynamical models,...

Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

Investigating the Use of Online Degree Audit Technology and Understanding the Student Experience

Creator:: Hopf, Samantha NJ.
Abstract:: Academic advising is an integral step in a community college students higher education journey, and as such must be supported with any tools available to increase student success. Technology is becoming more highly integrated into the academic advising process as are online tools which provide access to student records, course...

Processes affecting the oceanic distribution of carbon dioxide

Creator:: Culberson, Charles Henry
Abstract:: The stoichiometric model of organic decomposition in seawater (Redfield, Ketchum, and Richards, 1963) was used to describe the oceanic distribution of total carbon dioxide. It was assumed that the concentration of total carbon dioxide was the sum of three terms: (1) the initial concentration of carbon dioxide, (2) the increase...

The use of electromagnetic Walsh waves in radar

Creator:: Schaffer, Alvin
Abstract:: The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are described and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna systems, and propagation media. The argument is made that the unit impulse...

Health Service Utilization among Medicaid Enrollees in Oregon : Assessing Variation by Level of Rurality

Creator:: Larson, Annie E.
Abstract:: Research Objective: Nearly 60 million people in the United States reside in a rural area. Residents in rural areas have higher rates of chronic disease, risky health behaviors, disability, infant mortality, and age-adjusted mortality than their urban counterparts. Health insurance and access to care mitigate those risks, in part because...

The Hijab and Muslim Women in a Western Society : Motivation, Modifications, and Well-being

Creator:: Maqsood, Elham Nour Ahmad
Abstract:: The primary purpose of the present study is to explore the effect of wearing the hijab in a Western society on Muslim women’s well-being, their motivation to wear it, and the different modifications that they have made on their hijabs. To investigate the relationship between the hijab and Muslim women’s...

Determinants of electrical energy demand for a state; methodology and system simulation

Creator:: Devine, Warren D.
Abstract:: The determinants of electrical energy demand for the State of Oregon are represented in a mathematical model. This model is structured to operate in parallel with a computer simulation model of the state and is utilized independently to investigate electrical energy consumption during various scenarios of economic activity and energy...
