A study was conducted to determine the mineralogy and chemical
properties of "Ando-like" western Oregon soils. The samples
were collected from 13 sites which formed mainly from basaltic
rocks, a contact metamorphic rock, sedimentary rocks, and
alluvium derived from sedimentary rock and from volcanic rock. All
samples contained small amounts...
The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the
acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic
acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been
examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The
proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme
and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
People turn to mass spectrometry to answer some of life’s most important questions. From carbon dating of archeological finds to newborn blood screening tests, mass spectrometry allows us to measure molecules which helps advance our knowledge of life and the world we live in. One area of mass spectrometry that...
Medication error rates have long been a subject of interest
among the pharmaceutical, nursing, and medical professions. The
basic purpose of medication error studies has been to discover the
quantity and type of errors which exist, thus enabling the investigator
to evaluate the relative safety of various drug distribution
systems...
This paper presents an application of the wave equation to the
problem of selecting a driving hammer for prestressed concrete piles.
The potentially damaging effects of these types of hammers on various
prestressed concrete piles were analyzed by means of parametric
studies carried out on a hypothetical group of problems...
Supervision is an essential component of the development of pre-professional school counselors. Oftentimes, school counseling site supervisors are called upon to supervise graduate school counseling students without any requisite supervision training. The lack of supervision training is of significant professional concern, and there is an established need to translate recommended...
The Oregon Water Atlas is an aggregation and visualization of Oregon’s water data. Multiple government agencies (state and federal) maintain geographic data related to Oregon’s water, and they exist almost exclusively in GIS (geographic information system) formats. Using GIS processing software in conjunction with web design, a wide array of...
