Vegetation change is an important factor affecting the global carbon cycle, land-atmosphere interaction, and terrestrial ecology. The study of vegetation change on a global scale can be used to evaluate the impact of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing can monitor vegetation change at the global scale,...
An improved procedure for the preparation of β-(3-cyclohexenyl) propionic acid from 4-vinylcyclohexene was developed. The
Friedel-Crafts cyclization of β-(3-(3-cyclohexenyl) propionyl chloride
with aluminum chloride was shown to give one bicyclic chlorine
containing ketone in 41% yield. This ketone was identified by a combination of spectral and chemical methods as a...
A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...
The basis of this research paper is the work of Robert Schumann, particularly his lieder cycle Frauenliebe und Leben, and how it predicted the conditions and events of Robert and Clara Schumann’s marriage.

This thesis is a work of literary non-fiction. It
is divided into six sections. The first, "A Sense of
Place," and the last, "Pulling a Geographical," are
collage essays which establish and then reiterate major
themes in the work: movement, work, geography,
climate, people, and education--some curricular, some
not. The...
The purpose of this research was to see if there were technological differences in ground stone manufacturing and use from a single site that had been occupied for over 600 years, A.D. 550-A.D. 1150, and had multiple occupations that evolved over time (Late Pithouse Phases, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Three...

The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999.
This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...
Before we can write intelligently concerning
any subject, we must understand exactly what we are
writing about. As the title tells us, this thesis
deals exclusively with the work and incidentally with
the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, two
notable nineteenth century poets.
This thesis is based on the excavations of the Robert Newell farmstead (35MA41), excavated in 2002 and 2003 by the Oregon State University Department of Anthropology archaeological field school. Robert Newell lived at this farm from 1843- 1854. Major architectural features, including a brick hearth and postholes were discovered at...
