The purpose of this thesis is to explain why the reservation system manifested so
disappointingly for the Native American groups of Southwest Oregon. It seeks to characterize the
struggle that raged in Southwest Oregon from 1850 to 1856 between three main groups there:
indigenous peoples, white squatters and miners, and...
The major objectives of this study were an
evaluation of the Meteorological Office Rainfall and
Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) evapotranspiration
(ET) model using the Penman-Monteith equation and
comparison of the MORECS and measured surface resistance.
Meteorological, soil and plant parameters were measured in
an alfalfa field over two growing seasons....
Nuclear techniques such as perturbed angular correlation (PAC) sample the hyperfine interactions of a large number of probe atoms in specific crystallographic sites. Real crystals contain static defects producing a distribution of electric field gradients (EFGs) that add to the ideal EFG of the crystal at any given probe site....
This manual provides guidance on creating subject heading proposals for Indigenous topics that can be submitted to the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) for addition to the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
This thesis examines a range of generic influences in William Shakespeare's Richard II. By exploring the play's references to conflicting interpretations of history from different generic perspectives, I hope to advance a more nuanced reading of the play's dynamic staging of history. In Chapter One, I suggest that Richard II...
Novel fluidic devices that utilize an array of microchannels to achieve their designed purpose are discussed. Examples of devices include: fuel reforming using Microreactors, chip cooling using microchannel heat sinks, and microchannel devices used for biological applications. The devices that have directly contributed to this research include: a microchannel water...
