  • Electronic Conduction Mechanisms in Insulators

    Creator:
    Chiang, Tsung-Han
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein focuses on electrical assessment of oxide thin films as insulators. The current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of four insulators of dramatically different electrical quality are assessed in terms of their operative electronic conduction mechanisms. Conduction in the two high-quality insulators is dominated by Ohmic conduction and...

  • A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

    Creator:
    Kash, Laurel Renee
    Abstract:
    Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...

  • Training Preservice Counselors to Conduct Suicide Assessment: Interpersonal-Psychological Theory (IPT) Versus Training as Usual (TAU) Workshops

    Creator:
    Bohrer, Teal M.
    Abstract:
    For good reason, suicide is of growing concern across the nation; rates continue to increase annually in the United States. Accurate assessment remains an obstacle to effective treatment for individuals who are suicidal. Without proper screening, a client cannot get a referral to see a specialist and therefore cannot receive...

  • The ecology of Mountain Quail in Oregon

    Creator:
    Pope, Michael D. (Michael Dickens)
    Abstract:
    Mountain Quail (Oreortyx pictus) populations have declined in many areas of the western Great Basin during the past century. Yet the life history of this species is little known. From 1997 to 2000, I studied radio-marked Mountain Quail in Hell's Canyon in northeastern Oregon, in the Cascade Mountains of southwestern...

  • Worldwide phylogeography and local population structure of the rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis)

    Creator:
    Albertson, G. Renee
    Abstract:
    Several dolphin species have global distributions. The extent of their radiation and limits to gene flow are presumably a product of oceanographic features both recent and historical, behavioral specializations and social organization. Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical waters and are generally found in depths...

  • Representations and algorithms for efficient inference in Bayesian networks

    Creator:
    Takikawa, Masami
    Abstract:
    Bayesian networks are used for building intelligent agents that act under uncertainty. They are a compact representation of agents' probabilistic knowledge. A Bayesian network can be viewed as representing a factorization of a full joint probability distribution into the multiplication of a set of conditional probability distributions. Independence of causal...

  • Model systems for structural investigations into peroxiredoxin catalysis, conformation change, and inactivation

    Creator:
    Perkins, Arden
    Abstract:
    Peroxiredoxin (Prx) enzymes catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrous acid, and organic peroxides, and are extremely efficient peroxidases, with k[subscript cat]/K[subscript M] on the order of 10⁷ - 10⁸ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. Besides their role in oxidative stress defense, evidence has accumulated that some eukaryotes, including humans, use Prxs as...

  • You are What, When, Where, and How you Eat : Mercury in Avian Food Webs across Multiple Spatial Scales

    Creator:
    Jackson, Allyson K.
    Abstract:
    Human alterations of landscapes take many forms, one of which is anthropogenic pollution. Mercury (Hg) is a complex contaminant because its uptake into the food web is not driven entirely by loading to the system; methylation is necessary to make Hg bioavailable and toxic to fish and wildlife. Because methylation...

  • Heterogeneous thermal habitat for northeast Oregon stream fishes

    Creator:
    Ebersole, Joseph L.
    Abstract:
    Discrete coldwater patches within warm streams provide potential thermal refuge for coldwater fishes during periods of heat stress. This analysis focused on heterogeneity in stream water temperatures as influenced by local influx of cooler subsurface waters. Using field thermal probes and recording thermistors, we identified and characterized coldwater patches potentially...

    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to gather participant/ campus data, and to measure morale and teaching faculty participation in institutional governance on the 107 California public community college campuses to determine if collective bargaining faculty have statistically higher or lower morale and greater or lesser participation in institutional governance....
