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...

Experiences in implementing the White Method : estimating evapotranspiration using fluctuations of water table elevation

Creator:: Kollen, Jacob K.
Abstract:: Evapotranspiration (ET) is the process by which water is transferred from land to the atmosphere. ET is the second most important component of a hydrologic budget and remains difficult to estimate. The primary objective of this project was to determine the limitations of estimating ET from water table elevation fluctuations...

Effect of PFAS Exposure on Reproduction : a Comparative Investigation between Kisspeptin-secreting AVPV and Arcuate Nuclei

Creator:: Jacobs, Dakota
Abstract:: Ovulation requires preovulatory surges of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from preoptic hypothalamic neurons, initiated by elevated ovarian estradiol (E₂). Rising estradiol activates a subset of sexually dimorphic kisspeptin (Kiss-1) neurons in the female, located in the anteroventral periventricular nuclei (AVPV). Conversely, estradiol negative feedback on GnRH secretion is mediated by a...

Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...

Effect of plant date on subsequent seedling field performance

Creator:: Taylor, Michael Monroe
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Psudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were outplanted on eight dates (every three weeks from mid-August 2005 through mid-January 2006). On each plant date, seedlings from a conventional dormancy (CONV) induction treatment, including moisture and nutrient stress, and a shortened daylength (SD) treatment were outplanted on three western Oregon sites...

"Pretty and patriotic" : women's consumption of apparel during World War II

Creator:: Mower, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: The War Production Board issued limitation order 85 in April 1942 in order to conserve fabric and manpower needed for the war effort. The L-85 order froze the silhouette so no major style changes in women's wear would occur during the war. It is clear that on the one hand...

Role of a grass riparian zone in controlling the fate of nitrogen in a poorly drained agricultural landscape

Creator:: Davis, Jennifer H.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems, through their unique positions in the agricultural landscape, have the potential to mitigate nutrient loading to streams. This study was conducted to gain a better understanding of N cycling in a poorly drained Grass Riparian Zone (GRZ) and adjacent Perennial Ryegrass seed Field (PRF) in the Willamette Valley,...

"Identity in the making" in an adolescent new media maker experience : the role of interest, figured worlds, and use of authentic tools and practices

Creator:: Wyld, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...

The relationship between balance and fundamental motor skills in children five to nine years of age

Creator:: Overlock, Jennifer Ann
Abstract:: The ability to establish and maintain balance is claimed to be an important prerequisite of movement tasks. However, despite this general belief, there is limited empirical evidence to support the contribution of balance in motor skill performance. Furthermore, psychometric properties of using a computerized force platform to assess balance ability...

Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

Creator:: Inouye, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...
