  • Examination stress and coping from a cognitive-process perspective

    Creator:
    Grina, Michaele E.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to determine whether or not students' emotions and coping would change during stages of an examination. If changes in emotions and coping were recorded at different phases of an examination, then these findings would substantiate the position that stress and coping are processes. In addition, the...

  • Soil Solarization for Weed Management in Tree Seedling Nurseries in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Wada, Nami
    Abstract:
    Soil solarization is a pre-planting practice to reduce weed pressure by trapping solar energy using a transparent polyethylene film to heat soil. Soil solarization has been successfully used in regions with high solar radiation. The purpose of this research was to determine if soil solarization under Pacific Northwest conditions could...

  • Genetic analysis of embryogeny in maize : the developmental potential of defective kernel mutants

    Creator:
    Sollinger, John D.
    Abstract:
    Maize defective kernel (dek) mutants identify genes necessary for the successful passage of embryos through the embryogenic and maturation phases of embryo development. The goal of this thesis was to characterize the developmental potential of three dek mutants that appeared to be morphologically blocked prior to the maturation phase of...

  • Characterization of the transition to the progamic phase in Zea mays pollen

    Creator:
    Smyth, Johanna C.
    Abstract:
    The transition of mature pollen to the progamic phase represents an important step in the regulation of plant sexual reproduction. The progamic phase encompasses the initiation of pollen tube germination, growth of the pollen tube through the stigma (the silk in maize) and concludes with fertilization of the female gametophyte....

  • Characterizing and Understanding Semiotic Representations in Combinatorics Problems

    Creator:
    De Chenne, Adaline E.
    Abstract:
    Combinatorics is a field of mathematics that concerns enumeration and existence, and its most notable applications are in computer science and statistics. Most students are introduced to combinatorics through counting problems, where they are tasked with determining the cardinality of a set of outcomes. Such problems are well-known for being...

  • Student affect towards mistakes in the context of counting

    Creator:
    McGee, Samantha
    Abstract:
    In this study, I seek to examine undergraduate STEM majors’ beliefs about and attitude towards mistakes in the context of counting. This is a particularly fruitful setting for such an investigation both because combinatorics is widely applicable to various fields such as physics, biology, chemistry, and computer science (Kapur, 1970),...

  • Inclusion of youth with disabilities in afterschool programs

    Creator:
    Taylor, Jennifer Julie
    Abstract:
    Afterschool staff have been identified as a critical piece in the positive outcomes youth receive through participation in afterschool programs (Apsler, 2009; Daud & Carruthers, 2008; Riggs & Greenberg, 2004). These programs may benefit youth with disabilities but little is known about what influences staff to include youth with disabilities...

  • Magnesium and red blood cell fragility following heavy exercise of moderate duration in untrained teenage boys

    Creator:
    Reiter, Christina Scribner
    Abstract:
    Eight adolescent males (14 to 18 years old) were evaluated before and after 50 minutes of exercise on a bicycle ergometer at 60 percent of their maximal heart rate to investigate the relationship between blood magnesium status and the derangement of other serum electrolytes in the etiology of "sports anemia."...

  • Federal Timber Payments and County Government Expenditures in Oregon

    Creator:
    Adams, Vince
    Abstract:
    The federal government owns 60 percent of Oregon’s forests and, since 1908, has shared proceeds from federal forest timber harvests with counties. These revenues have provided a relatively stable source of funds for the provision of services by county governments in Oregon. Shared revenues from US Forest Service (USFS) lands...
