This talk provides an overview of Linus Pauling's life and work, discusses the background and composition of the book "Visions of Linus Pauling," and touches on some themes in the history of the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine.
Since research data services were first offered within our institutional repository, community interest and dataset deposit counts have both grown steadily. While primarily focused on housing traditional scholarship and publications, the institutional repository also provides a discipline-agnostic storage and access solution for datasets for the university. Given a landscape in...
Advanced geomatics tools such as robotic and terrestrial laser scanners have the potential to significantly improve the progress monitoring of construction sites throughout their life cycle, particularly in the concrete structures, from the initial stage to cracking the ground for excavation and shoring to outdoor pouring of concrete at above...
While human tool-use proficiency helped define our history, the cognitive and perceptual mechanics of how humans use tools are not fully understood. This question is of great value to the design of hand-held tools and prosthetics. A prominent theory, tool embodiment, suggests that tool use is facilitated by a flexible...
In its relatively short existence, open access—the free, online, and immediate availability of scientific outputs in journals and repositories—has contributed to the availability and impact of scientific knowledge across the globe. As a result, the authors hypothesize that researchers and students increasingly prefer that their work appears in open access...
All the datasets used in Kovasi's (2022) masters thesis. Chapter 2: The datasets are elemental concentrations for 25 elements from samples of the saxicolous lichens Umbilicaria phaea (n = 51), Rhizoplaca melanophthalma (n = 20), and the epiphytic lichen Letharia vulpina (n = 16) from the southern Sierra Nevada and...
Nonchemical weed control strategies are in short supply in snap beans, particularly strategies that target weeds within the seed row. Recent work demonstrated the limitations of propane flaming and organic herbicides for weed control in stale seedbeds. There was very little improvement in weed control with propane flame or organic...
Objective: In 2018, suicide was the leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 10-24 in Oregon (OHA, 2019) and was the second leading cause of death for this age range in 2020 (OHA, 2021). In 2019, 12% of Black high school students reported a suicide attempt in...
