  • Hydrological parameters affecting overland flow in an agricultural watershed

    Creator:
    Lowery, Birl
    Abstract:
    Surface and subsurface hydrological parameters affecting overland flow from cultivated land were studied in three small sub-watersheds located in the western foothills of the Willamette Valley. The sub-watersheds, which ranged in size from 0.46 to 6.0-ha, were fall-planted to grass or small grain. The parameters studied were infiltration, rainfall, runoff...

  • 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...

  • B-Naphthoflavone induction and its effect on hepatic phospholipid metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

    Creator:
    Harris, Marcia Elaine
    Abstract:
    The induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes is a complex biochemical process manifested not only by increases in various cytochrome P-450 isozymes and related activities, but also by alterations in endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Little work has been done to examine how cytochrome P-450 inducing agents influence other cellular processes, such as phospholipid...

  • David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

    Creator:
    Randlemon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

  • An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

    Creator:
    Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
    Abstract:
    The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

  • Xenobiotic biotransformation in aquatic organisms

    Creator:
    Schlenk, Daniel K.
    Abstract:
    Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton); a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster); and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...

  • Percussive-welded p-n junctions in silicon

    Creator:
    Tao, David Ming-Shih
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates a way to fabricate P-N junctions by percussive welding. The theoretical basis of percussive welding, design considerations of the apparatus used, and the electrical characteristics of the junctions were the main objectives of this investigation. P-type silicon wafers and gold wire doped with arsenic as a N-type...
