  • Flavor chemistry of popcorn

    Creator:
    Walradt, John Pierce
    Abstract:
    Popcorn was popped conventionally in oil and in a microwave oven without oil. Volatile components were collected by condensation of popper headspace gases and by vacuum steam distillation of a slurry of ground, popped corn in distilled water. The organic compounds were extracted from the aqueous condensate and vacuum distillate...

  • Three-dimensional, nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of laminated composites : a finite element approach

    Creator:
    Wang, Min
    Abstract:
    Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inadequate because many polymers exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Classical laminate theory is commonly used in the study of laminated...

    Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
    Abstract:
    John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

    Abstract:
    This thesis is an ethnohistoric study of the water rights of the Yakima Confederated Tribes. The study considers the water rights issues of the Yakimas from the cultural viewpoint at the time of European contact to the present legal and political situation. It traces the many obstacles the Yakimas have...

  • Taxonomy and evolution of the Orthotyline genus Lopidea (Heteroptera: miridae)

    Creator:
    Asquith, Adam
    Abstract:
    The genus Lopidea Uhler is revised for America north of Mexico. The relationship of Lopidea to other orthotyline genera is discussed and it is proposed that the genus Ilnacora Reuter is the sister group of Lopidea. Forty-eight species of Lopidea are recognized in North America, one of which is described...

  • Biological activities of the harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex owyheei Cole, in central Oregon

    Creator:
    Willard, John Royal Alexander
    Abstract:
    The mound-building harvester ant, Pogonmyrmex owyheei Cole, (formerly included in the species occidentals) is widely distributed on the semi-arid rangeland east of the Cascade mountains in Oregon. Because of its seed foraging and vegetation clearing habits, this ant has been considered as a possible competitor with livestock and wildlife for...

  • Bulldozer blades and colliding submarine mountain chains : constraints on central Oregon convergent margin tectonics from magnetics and gravity

    Creator:
    Fleming, Sean W.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic and gravity modelling was completed along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon. These models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane has a seaward dip of approximately 40° to 49° at 44°48'N, shallowing to ~28° at 44°1 1 'N. This is a well-determined result, given available...

  • Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
    Abstract:
    The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...
