Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....

Chaos in a long rectangular wave channel

Creator:: Bowline, Cynthia M.
Abstract:: The Melnikov method is applied to a model of parametrically generated cross-waves in a long rectangular channel in order to determine if these cross-waves are chaotic. A great deal of preparation is involved in order to obtain a suitable form for the application of the Melnikov method. The Lagrangian for...

Vacuum ultraviolet absorption studies of model sugar compounds

Creator:: Dickinson, Helen Rose
Abstract:: Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of 13 model sugar compounds were measured in the energy range of 50 to 80 kK. The model sugars included three simple alcohols, four simple ethers, four cyclic alcohol-ether compounds, and two dioxanes. All spectra show transition bands in the energy region 50 to 65 kK....

The role of the city manager in policy making : a study of differences in the conception of actual and perception of ideal policy making roles of the city manager by elected mayors and appointed managers in small California council-manager municipalities

Creator:: Feldman, Steven, 1954-
Abstract:: In recent years, the role of the City Manager in municipal policy making has been the focus of considerable attention and debate in both the academic and local government arenas. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in views of elected mayors and appointed managers with regard...

Seasonal floodplain wetlands as fish habitat in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Baker, Cynthia F.
Abstract:: To begin to understand freshwater seasonal floodplain fish communities in the context of human alteration of the physical system, species introductions and wetland restoration efforts, I studied fish assemblages in fifteen seasonal floodplain wetlands within four geographic regions (coastal, upper Columbia River estuary, Puget Sound and eastern Oregon/Washington) in the...

Marine herbivore-plant interactions : the feeding ecology of the sea slug Placida dendritica

Creator:: Trowbridge, Cynthia D.
Abstract:: The feeding ecology of a common temperate mesoherbivore, the oligophagous sea slug Placida dendritica (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia: Ascoglossa), was examined from April 1985 to June 1989. Along the central coast of Oregon, Placida consumed three host species: the low intertidal green algae Codium setchellii, C. fragile, and Bryopsis corticulans. Individual slugs...

A study to assess the knowledge about AIDS held by mental health counselors

Creator:: Turner, Micki
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to assess mental health counselors' knowledge of AIDS and to determine the effect of various independent variables upon knowledge. The variables used were gender, professional contact with PWAs, personal contact with PWAs, age, sexual preference, AIDS training, and personal acquaintance with a person who...

On the Structure of the Orbit Spaces of Almost Torus Manifolds with Non-negative Curvature

Creator:: Dong, Zheting
Abstract:: An almost torus manifold $M$ is a closed $(2n+1)$-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold with an effective, isometric $n$-torus action such that the fixed point set $M^T$ is non-empty. Almost torus manifolds are analogues of torus manifolds in odd dimension and share many of the characteristics of torus manifolds. For example, both...

Exploration of the feasibility of developing a winter hardy 'Marion' blackberry through genetic engineering

Creator:: Meng, Rengong
Abstract:: Experiments focusing on plant growth regulators’ concentrations and combination, mineral salt formulations and TDZ pretreatment formations were conducted to optimize in vitro shoot regeneration from leaf and petiole explants of 'Marion' blackberry. Optimum shoot formation was obtained when stock plants were incubated in TDZ pretreatment medium for three weeks before...
