  • Light Transmittance Properties of Biological Tissues of the Red-sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, Between 450 and 850 Nanometers

    Creator:
    Bixby, Eric M.
    Abstract:
    Using a spectrometer and photomultiplier tube, I measured the electromagnetic radiation transmittance properties of three types of tissue-- ventral skin, cardiac muscle, and liver tissue--in the red-sided garter snake Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis between the wavelengths of 450 and 850 nanometers (nm). Control readings were taken using a 10⁻² neutral density...

  • Depression classification of the patients in meta-analyses studies affects the efficacy of St. John's wort

    Creator:
    Ovrebo, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Eight studies from a meta-analysis on St. John's wort by Klaus et. al. (1996) were analyzed according to the severity of depression manifest by their patients. The studies were chosen according to inclusion criteria: 1) the study was random, 2) the study compared St. John's wort to a placebo or...

  • An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

    Creator:
    Payne, Bryce M.
    Abstract:
    Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....

  • The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

    Creator:
    Lambert, Miriam
    Abstract:
    In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...

  • Cost-cognizant test case prioritization for regression testing : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is a common and necessary task carried out by software practitioners to validate the quality of evolving software systems. Unfortunately, regression testing is often an expensive, time-consuming process, particularly when applied to large software systems. Consequently, practitioners may wish to prioritize the test cases in their regression test...

  • Hispanic and farmworker health : a community health survey of Hood River County, Oregon.

    Creator:
    Carne, David Michael
    Abstract:
    Hispanics in Hood River County, Oregon account for roughly 25% of the population, with many employed in agriculture. A community health survey was carried out in Hood River County during the winter months of 2001 with the purpose of evaluating the health conditions, needs, and barriers to access of needed...

  • Wavelength Dependence of the Scattering of Small Particles by Sunlight

    Creator:
    Bain, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    This project calculates the value of β for ice particles based on wavelength dependent values of their refractive and absorptive indices. β is the ratio of the force due to radiation to the force due to gravity acting on a particle in the solar system. This parameter can later be...

  • The People's band: U2 and international activism

    Creator:
    Peterson, Maxie Jean
    Abstract:
    The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

  • Optical Characterization of Transparent Conductive Thin Films

    Creator:
    Tucker, Derek A.
    Abstract:
    The optical characterization of transparent conductive thin films is demonstrated. The basics of transparency and conductivity, as they relate to transparent conductor research, are explained. A functional model of the reflectance and transmittance of a sample film, including interference fringes, is derived from the Fresnel electric field amplitude coefficients. The...

  • Deformation Reduction in Intermetallic NiAl Microlaminations

    Creator:
    Joyer, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    One method of fabricating intermetallic nickel-aluminum MECS devices involves diffusion bonding together pre-patterned elemental foils of nickel and aluminum. This process shows good potential for the mass-production of NiAl devices, but several quality issues remain. Of large concern is the deformation of internal features during the bonding process. This research...
