Designing and understanding information retrieval systems using collaborative filtering in an academic library environment

Creator:: Jung, Seikyung
Abstract:: Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...

Susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings to Phytophthora ramorum

Creator:: Lucas, Sunny L.
Abstract:: Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) (D. Don) Endl. is a host for Phytophthora ramorum but it was unclear if the pathogen represents a significant disease risk to this tree species. In this study the susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings and the likelihood of sporulation on redwood were examined. Two methods were...

Fisheries information in developing countries: support to the implementation of the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries

Creator:: Webster, Janet G. and Collins, Jean
Abstract:: The 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries provides a policy framework for sustainable fisheries management. Many FAO Members indicate that the lack of information continues to constrain the full and effective implementation of the Code. This Circular seeks to address a range of information issues required to support...

A library instruction case study: measuring success from multiple perspectives

Creator:: Webster, Janet G. and Rielly, Loretta
Abstract:: Measuring the effectiveness of library instruction poses many challenges, yet is essential to validating the time and energy dedicated to it. Over two years, how subject specific library instruction addressed the needs of the students, the instructor and the librarians was studied. Students were surveyed; librarians analyzed their research paper...

Describing grey literature again: a survey of collection policies

Creator:: Lehman, Heather and Webster, Janet G.
Abstract:: At Oregon State University, we are exploring the differences between collections formed by digitizing existing materials on our shelves and those created by identifying and acquiring digital objects beyond our library. One example is the proposed Tsunami Digital Library (TDL) that would support a growing research program with users needing...

Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...

Semi-volatile fluorinated organic compounds in Asian and Pacific Northwestern U.S. air masses

Creator:: Piekarz, Arkadiusz M.
Abstract:: Current studies suggest that perfluorinated organic compounds, such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FtOHs) in the troposphere, may be precursors of perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonates in remote regions. Fluorinated organic compounds were investigated in archived extracts collected from remote locations in Okinawa, Japan (HSO) and Mount Bachelor, Oregon (MBO) during the springs...

Determination of fluorochemicals in waste-dominated aqueous systems

Creator:: Huset, Carin A.
Abstract:: While fluorochemicals have been detected all over the world and in wastewater treatment plants, the effect of wastewater effluent on the receiving waters has not been evaluated. In the first study, the mass flow of fluorochemicals emanating from wastewater treatment plants along the Glatt River in Switzerland was evaluated. The...

An examination of kin and nonkin foster parents’ experiences

Creator:: De Costa, Jennifer L. (Jennifer Loretta)
Abstract:: The growth of foster care, particularly kin foster care has greatly outpaced our knowledge. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to develop a more informed understanding of foster family functioning from the perspective of foster parents. This study examined the experiences of 9 kin and 12 nonkin foster...

Examining effectiveness of Oregon’s forest practice rules for maintaining warm-season maximum stream temperature patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Fleuret, Jennifer Marie
Abstract:: Stream temperature, as an important component of stream ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas (RMAs), as implemented through the current Oregon Forest Practice Rules, are designed, in part, to maintain stream temperature following forest harvesting. However, effectiveness...
