  • Stability of flows of thermo-viscoelastic fluids between rotating coaxial circular cylinders

    Creator:
    Ghandour, Nabil Nassib
    Abstract:
    We investigate in this thesis, the problem of stability of thermo-viscoelastic fluid flow between rotating coaxial cylinders. By using the thermo-viscoelastic constitutive equations given by Eringen, we reduce the equations of motion into a form suitable for stability analysis. The course of reduction which we follow yields some interesting intermediate...

  • Requirement for the growth and maintenance of Alphanizomenon flos-aquae in culture

    Creator:
    O'Flaherty, Larrance Michael
    Abstract:
    Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon was introduced into culture in a precipitate -free medium developed by modification of McLachlan's ASM medium. This medium ASMT No. 8 contained no organic substances other than ethylendiaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and Trishydroxymethylamino methane (Tris), and was developed by modifying the concentrations of certain elements,...

  • Lichen distribution in Oregon coastal dune communities

    Creator:
    Leuthner, Shirley Mae
    Abstract:
    Distribution of lichens was studied at seven coastal dune sites in Oregon. Lichens were sampled in the dry stable, dry meadow, meadow, rush meadow, marsh, shrub and forest deflation plain communities. Observations were made of the standing water in the marsh community. Quantitative measurements were made of the percent organic...

  • A provenance study of crypto-crystalline silicates at the Cooper's Ferry site : a geochemical approach

    Creator:
    Nyers, Alexander John
    Abstract:
    A provenance study of crypto-crystalline silicates was performed at the Cooper's Ferry archaeological site in west-central Idaho on the Columbia Plateau. In this research, the author used instrumental neutron activation analysis as well as portable x-ray fluorescence to examine and characterize the geochemistry of 300 geologic samples of crypto-crystalline silicates...

  • Perceptions of mental health and mental illness among the Wanniya-laeto of Sri Lanka

    Creator:
    Priest, Jill Amy
    Abstract:
    The Wanniya-laeto, often referred to as Veddas, are the indigenous people of Sri Lanka. They live primarily in governmental designated areas in the forest with a few Vedda villages on the eastern coastal region. In-depth, semi-structured interviews as well as participant observation were the methods used to access the perceptions...

  • Ethics and Human Biomedical Enhancement : A Case for Compatibilism

    Creator:
    White, Benjamin A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores some of the ethical issues pertaining to the use of so-called radical enhancement technology. Key concepts analyzed include “normal function”, “human being”, and “personhood.” I argue that the use of these key concepts in the debate thus far has lacked philosophical rigor, and that a reexamination of...

  • Food for Axiology : Acknowledging Relationships

    Creator:
    Piquette, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    An overarching explanation for environmental degradation has been humans' disconnection from the natural world. Utilizing Whiteheadian theory, I offer that there is no disconnection. Rather, I propose that there is a dearth of relational acknowledgement. I suggest that the Cartesian dualism and modern science led to an illusory belief that...

  • Observations on the purchase, inspection, and preparation of vegetables for group feeding at certain army air bases

    Creator:
    McIntyre, Ethel Mae
    Abstract:
    Since vegetables are of such importance in the nutrition of human beings, it is natural that they should play a large part in Army feeding. They are high in food value. The different kinds vary widely in their energy values; some-- like potatoes--are high in carbohydrates, others--like lettuce and cucumbers--...
