  • Two Oregon governors : the role of perceptions in community college state budget development

    Creator:
    Preus, Camille
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this phenomenological study is to describe how Oregon governors Barbara Roberts and John Kitzhaber, whose tenures both coincided with the passage and implementation of property tax limitation measures, determined the community college budgets within their recommended state budgets. The stories of Robert’s 1993 and Kitzhaber’s 2001 decisions...

  • John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

    Creator:
    Lester, Jacob Franklin
    Abstract:
    Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

    Creator:
    Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
    Abstract:
    John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

  • An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

    Creator:
    Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
    Abstract:
    The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

  • Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Tait, Cynthia K.
    Abstract:
    Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

  • How the animals found their places : pattern detection, experimentation, and epistemology in a high desert stream fish assemblage

    Creator:
    White, Seth Michael
    Abstract:
    I examined the relative roles of biotic and abiotic factors in structuring redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss distributions in the South Fork John Day. I first examined the relationship between the biological traits of the fish assemblage and riparian-geomorphic features in context of prevailing theories of stream ecology stemming from the...

  • The influence of climate change and restoration on stream temperature

    Creator:
    Diabat, Mousa
    Abstract:
    Water temperature is an essential property of a stream. Temperature regulates physical and biochemical processes in aquatic habitats. Various factors related to climatic conditions, landscape characteristics, and channel structure directly influence stream temperature. Numerous studies indicate that increased average air temperature during the past century has led to stream warming...

  • From continua to patches : longitudinal patterns in the Middle Fork of the John Day River, Oregon

    Creator:
    Wright, Kristopher Keith
    Abstract:
    The Middle Fork John Day River is composed of low gradient, alluvial valley segments separated by constrained, canyon-like reaches, and has a history of multiple land-uses. These factors can alter the physical and biological structure of streams, and disrupt the longitudinal river continuum. I examined habitat, fish, macroinvertebrates, and primary...

    Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
    Abstract:
    Recent statistics suggest that the construction industry continues to experience poor project performance. Specifically, construction productivity has witnessed a meager annual growth of 1% over the past 20 years while the industry constantly records both a high number of fatalities and a high fatality rates relative to other industries. The...
