  • A Novel Elysium

    Creator:
    Anderson, Evan Crichton
    Abstract:
    As a metafictional work of science fiction literature, A Novel Elysium explores the timelessness of both the human mind and its literary surroundings, comparing the self-awareness of its characters to the sometimes tragic or empowering metaphysical realizations of human beings. Within this framework, any concrete place or time is unimportant;...

    Creator:
    Okonkwo, Charles
    Abstract:
    America is said to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. With the unfair treatment of people of color in this country, however, one would believe that somewhere in the fine print, they were excluded from that phrase. The very foundation of this country was...

  • Describing the thermal regimes of two northeastern Oregon streams

    Creator:
    Raven, Sonja E.
    Abstract:
    Two tributaries of the south fork of the Burnt River, near Unity Oregon were studied during the summers of 2000 and 2001 to determine water heating and cooling patterns. Hourly temperature data were recorded for air, water, and soil parameters at four elevations 150m apart on Barney and Stevens Creeks....

  • Special Nuclear Material Analysis Using Temporal Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Methods

    Creator:
    Curtis, Jessica R.
    Abstract:
    Following thermal neutron induced fission, supervised machine learning and temporal gamma-ray spectroscopy methods were used to identify differences in the delayed gamma-ray spectra of Pu-239 and U-235. The temporal gamma-ray spectroscopy method takes advantage of the time-dependent decay of fission products. Employing Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient and without prior knowledge...

  • Transforming Protective Action Strategies for Radiological Emergencies—Exacting the Science of Sheltering-in-Place

    Creator:
    Smith, Todd R.
    Abstract:
    Radiological emergency plans ensure that protective actions can and will be taken in the event of an accident. Principle protective actions for the early phase of an emergency are evacuation and sheltering-in-place. While evacuations are generally safe, there are deterministic, long-term health consequences from prolonged displacement that outweigh the stochastic...

  • Regional variation of pull factors for retail sales in Oregon's nonmetropolitan counties 1979, 1982, 1984

    Creator:
    Corcoran, Patrick
    Abstract:
    The performance of pull factors for total retail sales in Oregon's nonmetropolitan counties during the economic cycle of boom, bust, and recovery of the early 1980s is examined for geographic patterns. One regional pattern and several county patterns are identified and discussed. Counties having the highest and lowest pull factors,...

  • Regional patterns of alkalinity in Oregon streams: an overview of ecological regionalization

    Creator:
    Henderson, Sandra
    Abstract:
    While many geographers believe that the regional concept is central to geographic study, no definitive regional scheme exists. The criteria considered in each regional study will relate to a stated objective or study. Ecological regionalization is a major contribution by geographers to environmental studies. By examining spatial patterns of factors...

    Garcia, Jacqueline K.
    Abstract:
    Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women as it accounts for about 25% of all female cancer cases. Studies have shown that early detection of breast cancer increases the chances of a positive prognosis amongst patients therefore it is crucial to provide accurate diagnosis tools in routine exams....
