The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

Decaying in Storage: The Closures of Three Nuclear Reactors in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Oney, Celia E.
Abstract:: People involved in a nuclear activity, whether they are developing it, benefiting from it, or opposing it, see inherent connections between various aspects of nuclear science and technology. This thesis investigates three nuclear sites: a university research reactor, a dual-purpose reactor that produced plutonium for the U.S. military and electricity...

Nuclear Imperialism: Examining Atomic Test Reactions and UN Intervention in Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana, 1957-1966

Creator:: Bremigan, Shelby R.
Abstract:: France’s decision to test their nuclear weapons program in the Sahara in 1960 wholly reshaped how the Cold War infiltrated into West Africa. During a time of nation building, Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah urged Ghana and Africa, more broadly, to break ties with colonial powers and rebuke further attempts of...

The study of fluo-tantalum species by solvent extraction

Creator:: Coker, Marjory Carol
Abstract:: The extraction of tantalum fluoride complexes by large cationic extractants (tetraphenylarsonium ion, TPA, and crystal violet) and by methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) has been investigated as a function of fluoride concentration using ¹⁸² Ta as tracer. Extractions by the cationic extractants into chloroform were carried out in the absence of...

Morality and materialism : American conservatives and science, 1945-1964

Creator:: Schefke, Brian R.
Abstract:: Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....

Identical confusion : the history of twin studies on sexual orientation, 1952-1973

Creator:: Boltseridge, Nathan H.
Abstract:: In 1952, at the height of the McCarthy era, Franz Kallmann, a Jewish psychiatrist and eugenicist who fled the National Socialist regime in Germany, published a study, in which he claimed to have found a one hundred percent concordance rate for homosexuality among forty pairs of identical twins. From this...

Early Adventures of a Home Economist: Ava B. Milam’s Integration of Science and Home Economics at Oregon Agricultural College, 1911-1921

Creator:: McHugh, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Across from the Memorial Union on Oregon State University’s campus sits Milam Hall, the former site of the Department of Home Economics. The building is named for Ava Milam Clark, the dean of home economics for thirty-three years, from 1917 to 1950. I aim to understand Ava Milam’s early career...

Dig Sites and Domesticity: Jessie Camp and the 1947 University of California Africa Expedition

Creator:: Fraas, Picabo K.
Abstract:: In 1947, scientists from the University of California departed for a fifteen-month expedition to Africa. Jessie Camp, wife of the head paleontologist Dr. Charles L. Camp, had no official position on the expedition. Yet in performing her traditional domestic duties, she greatly contributed to the overall success of the expedition....

Science, service, and specialized agriculture : the re-invention of the maraschino cherry

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: From 1925 to 1930, Ernest H. Wiegand, a professor of Horticultural Products at Oregon State Agricultural College, developed an improved brining process for cherries. Brined cherries are used in the production of maraschino and glacé cherries, which already had a sizable market in the United States by the 1920s. This...
