End-fixation in exterior stud wall systems

Creator:: Schroeder, Glenn A.
Abstract:: Present design procedures for exterior stud wall systems result in walls which are over-designed because composite action, load sharing, and partial end-fixation are not taken into consideration. In this study partial end-fixation was evaluated for several methods of wall construction. A mathematical model was developed to determine the coefficient of...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...

Two-stage high-yield sulfite pulping of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.)

Creator:: Hansen, Edward Dee
Abstract:: Two-stage sulfite pulping conditions were determined which produced a high-yield high-hemicellulose pulp from red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.). Those cooks with a bisulfite first-stage and an alkaline second-stage produced pulps with the highest hemicellulose content and the highest strength properties. The major hemicellulose in red alder is 0-acetyl-(4-0- methylglucurono)xylan. Removal...

Penetration resistance predictions for driven piling

Creator:: Hansen, Lawrence A.
Abstract:: This paper presents a method of predicting penetration resistance for driven piles, using known driving records for driving the same type piling in similar subsurface conditions. As known driving records are not always available to the analyst, a method was also investigated using soil data only. The analytical tools employed...

Writing (righting) the silences : "points of perspective" for texts and students

Creator:: Payne, Eva M.
Abstract:: The classroom practices discussed in this thesis come slowly and at a "slant" to feminism through critical reading of texts, a practice that I call a (re)presentation of the silent women in texts. Given our patriarchal western culture, making meaning, and especially making sense, of the role and representations of...

Abstract:: Presenting and synthesizing several paradigms for the teaching of literature in American colleges, I investigate how definitions of reading, readers, texts, interpretations, and knowledge affect student acts of reading and writing. In addition, I draw upon specific examples of text-based, reader-based, and social-cultural based models for the teaching of reading...

Sarah Grimke's Rhetoric for Empowerment : Her Life and Letters

Visions beyond reality : Keat's poetic rejection of enlightenment philosophy

Creator:: Plett, Corey J.
Abstract:: John Keats, as a principal figure in the Romantic movement in Europe, reacted against the philosophy of the Enlightenment. His poetry and letters are testament to his distrust of, and resistance to, an ever increasingly clinical and "reasonable" society. Keats's poetic thought--imaginative, speculative, dialectic--is the antithesis of an Enlightenment philosophy...

Identifying site characteristics that explain variation in Douglas-fir site productivity and stem form

Creator:: Magalska, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...

Sensory, microbiological, chemical, and rheological properties of reduced sodium Cheddar cheese

Creator:: Schroeder, Carla L.
Abstract:: The effect of reducing sodium chloride in Cheddar cheese was studied. Milled curd from a split-lot was salted at selected NaCl concentrations and analyzed through aging by sensory and rheological tests. Estimation of differences in compositional analysis, lactic acid populations, degree of proteolysis, water activity, and pH were also determined....

Population dynamics, distribution, and control of nematodes in highbush blueberries

Creator:: Schroeder, Jan-Marie
Abstract:: Fluctuations in population density of Pratylenchus sp., Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and between June and August. Trichodorus...

The Role of Grazing and Weather in Nest Predator-Prey Dynamics and Reproductive Success of Sagebrush-obligate Songbirds

Creator:: Schroeder, Vanessa M.
Abstract:: Livestock grazing occurs worldwide, spanning over 25% of land globally. Effective conservation of biodiversity relies upon understanding the interactions of agricultural management practices and increasingly variable weather associated with climate change. I evaluated grazing, weather and predator-prey interactions within a grazing experiment in the sagebrush ecosystem of southeastern Oregon. I...

A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

Creator:: Thompson, Duane Melvin
Abstract:: Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...
