  • Stress at deformations beyond the elastic limit for compression perpendicular to the grain in hem-fir

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Edward J.
    Abstract:
    Allowable stresses in compression perpendicular to the grain (C-perp) have been too conservative for most structural uses. This study develops stress data for deformations beyond the proportional limit (PL), up to 0.1 inch for hem-fir. Fifteen boards from four western states were cut into small specimens representing three ring angle...

  • Bitterness modifying properties of hop polyphenols

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    This study examined whether polyphenols contribute a harsh bitterness to beer, and how polyphenols may otherwise modify beer bitterness in the presence of iso-a-acids. The experimental portions of this project were divided into effectively two segments. The first section of the study encompassed groundwork polyphenol extraction development, and the examination...

  • An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

    Creator:
    Burk, Rene F.
    Abstract:
    Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

  • Subsistence Harvest Diversity in Alaskan Food Sharing Networks

    Creator:
    Scaggs, Shane A.
    Abstract:
    Two striking characteristics of human beings are the diversity of resources that we use to sustain our lives and the extent to which we engage in coordinated, collective efforts to obtain and consume these resources. Together, these two characteristics are the foundation of human subsistence patterns. In many remote Alaskan...

  • In Defense of the "Ringding Mukta" : The Later Work of J.D. Salinger

    Creator:
    Herb, Danielle Kristine
    Abstract:
    My thesis explores the later work of author J.D. Salinger, including two narratives featured in Nine Stories, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," and "Teddy," and Franny and Zooey, "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters," and "Seymour: an Introduction." Through my analysis I argue that the religious nature of Salinger's fiction...

  • David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

    Creator:
    Randlemon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

  • Thin film multilayer superconductors and the proximity effect

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Kevin M.
    Abstract:
    Recent superconducting thin films studies have attempted to create pure metal layer films of Niobium and Titanium with the same properties of superconducting NbTi wire used in industry. These studies have all reported depression of the superconducting properties of the pure metal films which has been attributed to the proximity...

  • An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

    Creator:
    Koll, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

  • An evaluation of the use of tarif tables in second growth Douglas-fir

    Creator:
    Marshall, David D.
    Abstract:
    The Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Comprehensive Tree-Volume Tarif Tables are a set of preconstructed local volume tables. This can increase "on plot" efficiency since only diameters are necessary to obtain volumes after the proper table for the given diameter/height relationship is accessed. The tables are accessed and indexed...
