Bibliographic freedom and the future direction of map cataloging

Creator:: Reese, Terry
Abstract:: With more and more cartographic data being created and released only as GIS datasets, map catalogers will eventually find themselves moving away from Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) as their primary bibliographic description schema and moving towards the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). This move will be necessitated in large part...

A bibliotherapy evaluation tool: grounding counselors in the therapeutic use of literature

Creator:: Pehrsson, Dale Elizabeth and McMillen, Paula S.
Abstract:: Discusses the development and evolution of the Bibliotherapy Evaluation Tool to help graduate counseling students use literature in therapy ethically and appropriately. A survey of bibliotherapeutic practice in the helping professions is provided. Graduate students showed greater knowledge of and comfort with bibliotherapy after exposure to a teaching module and...

The bibliotherapy education project: a collaborative teaching effort goes to the Web OR a tale for travelers

Creator:: McMillen, Paula S.
Abstract:: This narrative details the evolution of a collaborative teaching project into an educational Website about Bibliotherapy, which is the process of facilitating personal development or problem resolution through books. Working with a Counselor Education colleague, the Education librarian at Oregon State University helped develop a tool to evaluate books for...

Lessons learned about developing and coordinating an instruction program with freshman composition

Creator:: McMillen, Paula S., Miyagishima, Bryan, and Maughan, Laurel S.
Abstract:: In the Spring of 2001, the Oregon State University Libraries began planning for a collaboration with the university’s Freshman Composition Program. In implementing this project, with no additional library resources, and with the majority of library faculty less experienced in working with freshman students, the coordinators of the program learned...

Bibliotherapy for hospital patients

Creator:: McMillen, Paula S. and Pehrsson, Dale Elizabeth
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of bibliotherapy in relation to hospital patients. It includes a brief history as well as discussion of practitioners, patients and problems, methodology and effectiveness. It also offers recommendations for those who provide bibliotherapy within the hospital context. The focus is...

Nonmuscle myosins II-B and Va are components of detergentresistant membrane skeletons derived from mouse forebrain

Creator:: Ishmael, Jane E., Safic, Masa, Amparan, David, Vogel, Walter K., Pham, Tuyen, Marley, Kevin, Filtz, Theresa M., and Maier, Claudia S.
Abstract:: Myosins are actin-based molecular motors that may have specialized trafficking and contractile functions in cytoskeletal compartments that lack microtubules. The postsynaptic excitatory synapse is one such specialization, yet little is known about the spatial organization of myosin motor proteins in the mature brain. We used a proteomics approach to determine...

Towards the development of accelerated methods for assessing the durability of wood plastic composites

Creator:: Silva, Antonio, Gartner, Barbara L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: While wood plastic composites have gained an increasingly large share of the market for decks and other outdoor structures, there are many questions about the long-term potential for biodeterioration of these materials. While the plastic does appear to retard moisture uptake, thereby slowing the rate of degradation, a number of...

Measurement of high carrier mobility in graphene in an aqueous electrolyte environment

Creator:: Brown, Morgan A., Crosser, Michael S., Leyden, Matthew R., Qi, Yabing, and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Graphene is a promising material for applications in aqueous electrolyte environments. To explore the impact of such environments on graphene's electrical properties, we performed Hall bar measurements on electrolyte-gated graphene. Assuming a Drude model, we find that the room temperature carrier mobility in water-gated, SiO₂-supported graphene reaches 7000 cm²/Vs, comparable to...

Fluctuations in Evolutionary Integration Allow for Big Brains and Disparate Faces

Creator:: Evans, Kory M., Waltz, Brandon T., Tagliacollo, Victor A., Sidlauskas, Brian L., and Albert, James S.
Abstract:: In theory, evolutionary modularity allows anatomical structures to respond differently to selective regimes, thus promoting morphological diversification. These differences can then influence the rate and direction of phenotypic evolution among structures. Here we use geometric morphometrics and phenotypic matrix statistics to compare rates of craniofacial evolution and estimate evolvability in...

Coherence, subgroup separability, and metacyclic structures for a class of cyclically presented groups

Creator:: Bogley, William A. and Williams, Gerald
Abstract:: We study a class M of cyclically presented groups that includes both finite and infinite groups and is defined by a certain combinatorial condition on the defining relations. This class includes many finite metacyclic generalized Fibonacci groups that have been previously identified in the literature. By analyzing their shift extensions...

Modeling global hammond landform regions from 250-m elevation data

Creator:: Karagulle, Deniz, Frye, Charlie, Sayre, Roger, Breyer, Sean, Aniello, Peter, Vaughan, Randy, and Wright, Dawn
Abstract:: Landforms are natural features on the Earth’s surface that both reflect and shape geophysical and ecological process. The result is a defining part of landscapes that so often impact on human perception and interactions with environment. Blascyznki (1997) defines landforms as, “specific geomorphic features on the surface of the Earth,...

"Rare place where I feel normal": Perceptions of a social support conference among parents of and people with Moebius syndrome

Creator:: Bogart, Kathleen R., Frandrup, Erika, Locke, Taylor, Thompson, Hanna, Weber, Natalie, Yates, Jacqueline, Zike, Nicholas, and Hemmesch, Amanda R.
Abstract:: Background Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder resulting in impaired facial and eye movement. People with rare diseases like Moebius syndrome experience stigma and a lack of specialized information. Support conferences may provide important forms of social support for people with rare disorders. Aims To examine reasons for attending,...

Benefits of support conferences for parents of and people with Moebius syndrome

Creator:: Bogart, Kathleen R. and Hemmesch, Amanda R.
Abstract:: Hundreds of millions of people worldwide with rare diseases face unique challenges to quality of life (QoL), including stigma and limited support. To address these concerns, many rare disease organizations offer support conferences for people to meet others with their condition. This is the first research to examine the effects...

A Hierarchy of Models for Simulating Experimental Results 6 from a 3D Heterogeneous Porous Medium

Creator:: Vogler, Daniel, Ostvar, Sassan, Paustian, Rebecca, and Wood, Brian D.
Abstract:: In this work we examine the dispersion of conservative tracers (bromide and fluorescein) in an experimentally constructed three-dimensional dual-porosity porous medium, and in the absence of adjustable parameters. The medium is highly heterogeneous (σ2 Y = 5.7), and consists of spherical, low-hydraulic-conductivity inclusions embedded in a high-hydraulic-conductivity matrix. The bi-modal...

Satellite views of Pacific chlorophyll variability: comparisons to physical variability, local versus nonlocal influences and links to climate indices

Creator:: Thomas, Andrew C., Strub, P. Ted, Weatherbee, Ryan A., and James, Corinne
Abstract:: Concurrent satellite-measured chlorophyll (CHL), sea surface temperature (SST), sea level anomaly (SLA) and model-derived wind vectors from the 13+ year SeaWiFS period September 1997 – December 2010 quantify time and space patterns of phytoplankton variability and its links to physical forcing in the Pacific Ocean. The CHL fields are a...

Air quality and elemental enrichment factors of aerosol particulate matter in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia

Creator:: Rushdi, Ahmed I., Al-Mutlaq, Khalid F., Al-Otaibi, Mubarak, El-Mubarak, Aarif H., and Simoneit, Bernd R. T.
Abstract:: Air particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from June 2006 to May 2007 for determination chemical elements. PM samples were taken in two size fractions (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀) with MiniVolume air samplers on rooftops of various buildings (15-25 m above ground) in the city of Riyadh. The samples were subjected...
