Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

The Scientist’s Imagination: Cold War Politics and Nuclear Futures in Leo Szilard’s Fact and Fiction

Creator:: Dvorak, Anna Elizabeth
Abstract:: The story of Leo Szilard has not been told in its full complexity. This is especially so of the role imagination played in Szilard’s worldview. Szilard, like many other scientists in the mid-twentieth century, worked on the Manhattan Project. Like these other wartime participants, the work and relationships formed during...

The potential influence of database configuration on the derivation of trace element partitioning expressions for clinopyroxene

Creator:: Cunningham, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Decades of experimental work has illustrated the high degree to which the partitioning of most elements is dependent on phase composition, temperature and pressure. In order to quantitatively describe clinopyroxene partitioning it is required to derive expressions using theoretical constraints calibrated with experimental data. The experimental database available for such...

Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

Creator:: Lange, Amy E.
Abstract:: Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

Creator:: Payne, Bryce M.
Abstract:: Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....

The provenance and trace element signatures of MORB anorthitic plagioclase

Creator:: Burleigh, Andrew W.
Abstract:: In an attempt to understand the phase equilibria and petrogenesis of MORB anorthitic plagioclase, Cr-spinel commonly hosted within anorthitic plagioclase has been investigated petrographically and compositionally. Based on spinel-anorthite relationships from three samples of plagioclase ultra-phyric basalt (PUB; Southeast Indian Ridge, Axial Seamount and West Valley Segment, Juan de Fuca...

Early Adventures of a Home Economist: Ava B. Milam’s Integration of Science and Home Economics at Oregon Agricultural College, 1911-1921

Creator:: McHugh, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Across from the Memorial Union on Oregon State University’s campus sits Milam Hall, the former site of the Department of Home Economics. The building is named for Ava Milam Clark, the dean of home economics for thirty-three years, from 1917 to 1950. I aim to understand Ava Milam’s early career...

Utilization of natural and supplemental biofuels for harvesting energy from marine sediments

Creator:: Nielsen, Mark E.
Abstract:: A benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) is an electrochemical device that generates current from the redox gradient at the sediment-water interface. Early prototypes had anodes buried in anoxic sediments and cathodes in overlying water. The BMFCs described in this dissertation are based on a chamber design that enables the use...

Analysis of the processing and characterization of p-type CuScO₂ thin films

Creator:: Nielsen, Benjamin C.
Abstract:: Two different doping techniques, oxygen intercalation and Mg cation substitution, were investigated in thin film p-type CuScO₂, a wide band gap semiconductor with the delafossite structure. Films rf-sputtered onto amorphous SiO₂ substrates were polycrystalline after post-deposition annealing. X-ray diffraction was used to determine that the films are predominantly polycrystalline 3R...

Disciplining the reception of Darwin : the botanical and sociological work of Lester Frank Ward

Creator:: Zimmerman, Katharine
Abstract:: The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...
