What does comida rica mean? In this thesis, I explore the meanings of comida rica, sana, and de nuestra tierra through the discourses, practices, and kitchen geographies in six urban, highland households in the Ecuadorean Andes. This research, as part of a larger investigation carried out by a team of...
Academic success is a salient domain of youth development and is related to positive lifelong outcomes among youth in foster care. However, youth in foster care experience compounding adversities, including maltreatment and foster care placement itself, which put them at risk of academic disengagement and underachievement. Despite these adversities, academic...
During the first full school year of the Covid-19 pandemic, two central contexts for adolescent development—home and school—changed utterly. In Oregon, most middle- and high schoolers attended school entirely remotely from the beginning of the pandemic, in March, 2020, through the end of April, 2021, removing both the supports available...
In 2008, the “Great Recession” gained its momentum and quickly grew into a global crisis that led to massive gross domestic product declines and job losses in countries around the world. Relative to prior economic downturns, young adults were greatly affected by the Great Recession. This likely placed a premium...
We studied the reliability and validity of the Columbia Suicide Severity Scale (C-SSRS).
Severely delinquent adolescent girls (n = 166) participated in a treatment trial and repeated
assessments over time. Lifetime suicide attempt history was measured using the C-SSRS in early
adulthood (n = 144; 7–12 years post-baseline). Nonclinician raters...
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for processing raw data measured by chipod and GusT turbulence sensors. These instruments are designed and manufactured by the Ocean Mixing Group in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
The Oregon Multicultural Archives (OMA) at Oregon State University (OSU) is dedicated to preserving and making accessible the histories of traditionally under-represented groups. OMA curator Natalia Fernández and Tiah Edmunson-Morton, the OSU Libraries’ Instruction and Outreach Archivist, highlight three OMA collections that reflect the impact women of color have had...
Using spatial autocorrelation analysis, we
examined the within-population genetic structure of
Rhizopogon vinicolor and R. vesiculosus, two hypogeous
ectomycorrhizal (EM) species that are sympatric
sister taxa known to differ in their clonal structure.
We collected 121 sporocarps and 482 tuberculate EM
of both species from a 20 ha forest stand...
The authors investigate atmospheric internal gravity waves (IGWs): their generation and induction of global intermittent turbulence in the nocturnal stable atmospheric boundary layer based on the new concept of turbulence generation discussed in a prior paper by Sun et al. The IGWs are generated by air lifted by convergence forced...
Designation of areas as marine wilderness has been proposed as a strategy for managing the increasing threats facing the world’s oceans. Although social factors influence marine protected area success, the human dimensions of marine wilderness remain minimally explored. This thesis examines views of marine wilderness expressed by a representative sample...
