The purpose of this study was to locate and analyze experimental
studies of teacher training that tested elements of Bandura's
social learning theory. Bandura's theory emphasizes the role of
modeling in the acquisition of new modes of interpersonal behavior,
and it also provides for the integration of practice and feedback...
In a mostly abandoned block, capped by concrete, the building at 210 East 1st Street, The Dalles, Oregon still stands as one of three remaining structures. This building housed the Wing Hong Hai Company, a mercantile store and Chinese laundry, from 1889 to 1926. Beneath the modern concrete that encircles...

The MOC-P is proposed...
A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to
manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through
theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however,
few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of
different experimental...
Inheritance from pre-existing mantle domains and fluid and melt contributions from active subduction together produce the geochemical signatures of mantle-derived arc basalts. In this context, this work evaluates the evolution of Cascadia mantle sources by documenting the isotopic and compositional characteristics of primitive basalts along a transect across the Eocene-Oligocene...
Quality Capability Self-diagnosis is a convenient and
economical way to assess the performance of an operating
quality system, as well as a basis for initiating necessary
corrective actions essential to quality improvement and
preparation for certification. This paper describes the
research leading to the development of a cost-effective and
systematic...
The ecological crisis, recognized by scientists as well as an increasing number of lay people urges a response from a variety of disciplines. The consideration of sustainability requires the help of a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, which can contribute an ability to identify cultural patterns that impede cultural change...
This thesis will address the transformation of biological sciences during the 1930s and 1940s and it effects on fisheries science. It will focus on Oregon State College and specifically the Department of Fish and Game Management and the interaction with the Oregon Game Commission. Support for mutation theory and neo-...
