Fourier Analysis and Equidistribution on the p-adic Integers

Creator:: Somasunderam, Naveen
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...

Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

Fish and invertebrate distribution at multiple scales in Thomas Creek, Oregon : a transition from conifer uplands to agricultural lowlands

Creator:: Langshaw, Russell B.
Abstract:: Longitudinal patterns of fish and benthic invertebrate distribution and habitat use were similar in Thomas Creek, Oregon but clarity of these patterns differed. I studied fish and aquatic invertebrates simultaneously, at multiple scales, and used multivariate statistical techniques to compare responses to the same environmental conditions. Both types of organisms...

Community perceptions of flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat in Thomas Creek watershed of Oregon

Creator:: Doolittle, Lisa
Abstract:: The complexity of human/riverine systems has led to an increasing focus on land use patterns and policy. My goal is to understand the dynamics of a coupled human and natural system. The central question is how people in the community of Scio, Oregon perceive flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat....

Fabrication and characterization of p-type CuO / n-type ZnO heterostructure gas sensors prepared by sol-gel processing techniques

Creator:: Ravichandran, Ram
Abstract:: Increased interest in the field of sensor technology stems from the availability of an inexpensive and robust sensor to detect and quantify the presence of a specific gas. Bulk p-CuO/n-ZnO heterocontact based gas sensors have been shown to exhibit the necessary sensitivity and selectivity characteristics, however, low interfacial CuO/ZnO contact...

Effects of Elevated CO₂ on Speckled Sanddab (Citharichthys stigmaeus) Behavior

Creator:: Andrade, Jessica F.
Abstract:: The direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification (OA) are a growing concern, particularly in areas already experiencing elevated levels of oceanic CO₂. Studies with marine fishes suggest that elevated CO₂ levels may affect behavior by interfering with an important brain neurotransmitter. Studies examining the effects of OA fish behavior...

The effect of PACE on self-reported anxiety and performance in first year nursing students

Creator:: Irving, Jan Louise
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was (a) to determine the effect of a four-step learner readiness profile: positive, active, clear, and energetic (PACE) on self-reported anxiety in first year nursing students before skill performance tests, and (b) to determine the effect of PACE on the performance of first year nursing...

The relationship between the cerebral lateralization for Arabic language and achievement in science

Creator:: Hafez, Abdullah Ibrahim M.
Abstract:: The major purpose of this study was to test the relationship between students' cerebral lateralization for the Arabic language and their achievement in science. A secondary purpose was to investigate handedness as a factor in that relationship. The experiment was conducted in the City of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using dichotic...

Designing and Using Multiplayer Tabletop Mathematics Learning Games

Creator:: Renne, Michael E.
Abstract:: Teachers may be attracted to the use of a game in a learning activity under the presumption that students will find the game experience to be more “fun” than typical classroom activities. The use of a game in a learning activity should help students attain important learning outcomes and engage...

Middle school teachers’ use of a formative feedback guide in mathematics problem solving instruction

Creator:: Strowbridge, Jessica
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to address the implementation fidelity of one part of a professional development model developed by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL). Specifically, this research investigates middle school teachers’ use of a formative feedback guide developed by NWREL staff, examining the reliability with which teachers...
