Playing with pedagogy : a case study of contextual teaching and learning for the natural resources classroom

Creator:: Greene, Kim (Kimberly Kate)
Abstract:: This thesis investigates Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) as a method of instruction for natural resources education. The research follows the adoption of CTL in the K-12 classrooms of six teachers focusing on natural resources education at two rural schools in Western Oregon. CTL is being investigated because it connects...

Seismotectonics of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau : moment tensoranalysis of regional seismograms

Creator:: Baur, Jan R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a detailed seismotectonic investigation of the Himalayan region and the Tibetan plateau as part of project HiCLIMB to explore the state of stress and the kinematics of the world’s largest continental collision zone. Using full regional waveforms for moment tensor inversion, source parameters for 107 earthquakes were...

An atmospheric pressure glow discharge detector for capillary column gas chromatography

Creator:: Baur, Susanna S.
Abstract:: The change in the oscillation frequency in the current of an atmospheric helium glow discharge is a sensitive detector for gas chromatography. The response of the detector is in the femtomole and picomole range for nonane and decane. The effluent of a capillary column is directed into a glow discharge...

Thermal and Aerodynamic Effects of Surface Roughness Patterns on Additive Manufactured Heat Sinks

Creator:: Lundeen, Samuel L.
Abstract:: Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...

Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Fluid Temperature for Free Convection and Vapor Condensation

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...

An Evaluation of Onboarding and Training Procedures of Oregon State University County Extension Faculty

Creator:: Knight, Kelsey J.
Abstract:: Oregon State University Extension employs county-based Extension Faculty to deliver educational programs to communities across the state. County Extension Faculty are expected to be competent in various content and training can help prepare faculty for the profession. Using a needs assessment approach, this research evaluated the training available. The results...

Climbers' preferred management actions : addressing resource and crowding impacts in Yosemite Valley

Creator:: Burns, Molly T.
Abstract:: As more people become interested in rock climbing, the need to understand climbers and their preferences and how their activities impact the resource are more vital than ever. With increased use, and with little empirical data about the Yosemite climbing community, park managers cannot adequately develop a comprehensive climbing management...

The influence of seismic attack and chloride-induced corrosion on a life cycle inventory assessment of different concrete mixtures

Creator:: Christiansen, Joshua W.
Abstract:: The life cycle assessment (LCA) process is a systematic approach to determining the environmental impacts of different products and processes. LCA is a relative approach that requires functional equivalence for the results to be compared. A method is presented that achieves functional equivalence by equating the reliability indexes being compared....

Application of Self-Assembled Monolayers to InGaZnO Thin Film Transistors

Creator:: Motley, Joshua R.
Abstract:: Investigations on the application of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) to indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFT) for fabrication and channel modification are presented. The back channel of IGZO thin film transistors can be modified by the absorption of self-assembled monolayers. The electrical properties of the IGZO exposed back...

Human Eye Dosimetry: Air Gap Analysis by Shield Placement and Photon Energy

Creator:: Herrera, Joshua P.
Abstract:: When the ICRP updated their recommended limits for eye dose, they ignited a renewed interest in eye dosimetry. Especially, how the updated eye dose estimates affect current regulations and what that would mean to a radiation worker. Radiation workers are commonly required to wear leaded eyeglasses to reduce their dose...
