  • A comprehensive integration of first year engineering education

    Creator:
    Shuman, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Retention of engineering students is a problem for many universities, especially during the first year. The problem of introducing students to engineering while increasing retention rates has recently been addressed by many different universities. Implementing novel lab structures, adjusting the lecture to incorporate more effective teaching techniques, and using orientation...

  • Fostering upward mobility of Mexican American adults through a critical incident

    Creator:
    Matthews, Mildred Shuman
    Abstract:
    This research design was based upon the mutual relevance between the fields of education and anthropology to cause cognitive cultural awareness by the teachers of adults as well as visibility within the Mexican American ethnic group. Specifically the purpose of this study was twofold:. (1) to determine whether the adult...

  • Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

    Creator:
    Thomas, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

  • Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

    Creator:
    Gray, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

  • Volatile mobility of trace metals in volcanic systems

    Creator:
    Loewen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Semi-volatile trace metals like Li, Cu, Mo, Sn, In, and Pb have the potential to track mobility of a volatile phase in volcanic systems. In this dissertation four studies are presented that either directly investigate or are motivated by observations of trace metal behavior in volcanic systems. A common tool...

  • Natural products from tropical and temperate marine algae

    Creator:
    Bernart, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Following surveys of seaweeds in Oregon and the Caribbean, four algal species were selected for study on the basis of their crude extract biological activity or thin-layer chromatographic characteristics. Extracts were fractionated by normal phase chromatography, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Derivatives (methyl esters, acetates, and benzoates) of natural...

  • Analysis of semi-volatile trace metals in basaltic glass by LA-ICP-MS

    Creator:
    Loewen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Semi-volatile trace metals (e.g., Cd, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mo) have been analyzed by using laser ablation ICP-MS in a number of silicate glasses (GSE-1G, GSD-1G, NIST 610, NIST 612, BCR-2G, BHVO-2G). Our work investigates and highlights sources of uncertainty in the analysis of semi-volatile metals using LA-ICP-MS. We identify...

  • Using in situ turbidity to estimate sediment loads in forested headwater streams : a top-down versus bottom-up approach

    Creator:
    Meadows, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Suspended sediment and in situ turbidity data from two western Oregon streams, Oak Creek and South Fork Hinkle Creek, were used to estimate annual sediment loads for the 2006 water year (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006). Water samples and in situ turbidity observations were taken following the Turbidity...

  • Effects of solar heating on the indirect effect of aerosols as deduced from observations of ship tracks

    Creator:
    Christensen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    One kilometer Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations for Terra (morning) and Aqua (afternoon) satellites were used to follow the morning to afternoon evolution of marine stratocumulus clouds that were affected by ship stack exhaust. The observations covered the summer months of 2002-2003 and August 2007 for marine layers off...

  • Analysis of habitat features and abundance of young-of-the-year fishes off of the central Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Haven, Katlyn, Wakefield, W. Waldo, Brodeur, Richard, and Yergey, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Over the last several years, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, in collaboration with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and Oregon State University, has been sampling young-of-the-year groundfishes and other small demersal fishes along the Newport Hydrographic (NH) line. An important question concerning these surveys is whether the NH line...
