Historical Sources of Science-as-Social-Practice: Michael Polanyi's Berlin

Creator:: Nye, Mary Jo
Abstract:: Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...

The effects of high rearing density on the potential for domestication selection in hatchery culture of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Thompson, Neil F. and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Hatchery-reared steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) often have lower fitness than natural-origin fish when spawning in the wild. Fitness loss in hatcheries is partly due to genetic adaptation to captivity (domestication), but the underlying selection pressures driving adaptation remain unknown. Circumstantial evidence suggests that adaptation to hatcheries is accelerated when fish are...

Crime mapping in the national forests

Creator:: Wing, Michael G. and Tynon, Joanne F.
Abstract:: We examined the spatial distribution of crime incidents on USDA Forest Service lands using a geographic information system and several spatial analysis techniques. Our primary objective was to examine whether patterns existed in the spatial distribution of crime and to explore the relationship of patterns to other geographic features using...

The Generalized Inverse of a Nonlinear Quasigeostrophic Ocean Circulation Model

Creator:: Bennett, Andrew F. and Thorburn, Michael A.
Abstract:: The generalized inverse is constructed for a nonlinear, single-layer quasigeostrophic model, together with initial conditions and a finite number of interior data. With the exception of doubly Periodic boundary condition all constraints are weak. The inverse minimizes a penalty functional that is quadratic in the errors in prior estimates of...

Dormancy and Germination Pre-treatments in Willamette Valley Native Plants

Creator:: Russell, Michael
Abstract:: Seeds from 30 species of grasses and forbs native to Pacific Northwest prairies were tested for physical and physiological dormancy. The physical dormancy was determined by mechanically and chemically scarifying seeds. Physiological dormancy was evaluated with cold stratification before germination. Experiments were analyzed individually with ANOVA analysis, and by seed...

Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids: Their Occurrence in Honey from Tansy Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.)

Creator:: Burgett, D. Michael
Abstract:: The hepatotoxic alkaloids known to occur in tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.) are also present in honey produced from the nectar of this species. These alkaloids, which include senecionine, seneciphvlline, jacoline, jaconine, jacobine, and jacozine, are potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic and may pose health hazards to the human consumer.

Primary Contextualization of Science Learning Through Immersion in Content-Rich Settings

Creator:: Giamellaro, Michael
Abstract:: This paper reports on a study of primary contextualization processes during science immersion trips and the resultant student learning. Four High School Ecology classes (n=67) and teachers participated. Through a pre/post assessment of science concept knowledge (Pathfinder Network Modeling) and follow-up interviews with students, it was determined that (1) significant...

Race, IQ, and the Search for Statistical Signals Associated with So-Called “X”-Factors: Environments, Racism, and the “Hereditarian Hypothesis”

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan Michael
Abstract:: Some authors defending the "hereditarian" hypothesis with respect to differences in average IQ scores between populations have argued that the sorts of environmental variation hypothesized by some researchers rejecting the hereditarian position should leave discoverable statistical traces, namely changes in the overall variance of scores or in variance-covariance relating scores...

Generalized Inversion of Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean Data and a Coupled Model of the Tropical Pacific

Creator:: Bennett, Andrew F., Chua, Boon S., Harrison, D. Ed, and McPhaden, Michael J.
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that the circulation of the tropical Pacific Ocean and atmosphere satisfies the equations of a simple coupled model to within errors having specified covariances, and that the Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean array (TAO) measures the circulation to within errors also having specified covariances. This hypothesis is tested by finding...

Generalized Inversion of Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean (TAO) Data and a Coupled Model of the Tropical Pacific. Part II: The 1995–96 La Niña and 1997–98 El Niño

Creator:: Bennett, Andrew F., Chua, Boon S., Harrison, D. Ed, and McPhaden, Michael J.
Abstract:: The investigation of the consequences of trying to blend tropical Pacific observations from the Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean (TAO) array into the dynamical framework of an intermediate coupled ocean–atmosphere model is continued. In a previous study it was found that the model dynamics, the prior estimates of uncertainty in the observations, and...
