The central focus of the present study was to assess the International Program (IP) and the Regular Thai Program at Satit Kaset in Bangkok, Thailand. The problem involved the gathering of both statistical and survey information from IP students, parents, and teachers in Grades 1-4 at the school. The primary...
This thesis presents elastic finite difference simulations of two dimensional wavefield propagation for line-9, recorded during the 1993 part of the multi-institutional, multi-year Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ) Seismic Experiment. Line-9 is a high-resolution, large-aperture seismic profile oriented in north-south direction, extending from the subduction regime north of the MTJ to...
International health literature clearly describes
the importance of breastfeeding for children''s health.
The risks of bottle feeding in impoverished and
unhygenic environments are also widely documented.
Gastroenteritis, one of the most common problems
associated with bottle feeding in the Third World, is
the leading cause of death for Jamaican children...
Efficient foraging strategies result in a predator spatially overlapping with its prey, foraging in the most profitable patches, and minimizing the time transiting between patches. Previous studies investigating baleen whale foraging strategies have generally focused on investigating spatial overlap with prey patches, patch profitability or movement within feeding grounds. The...
This thesis study attempts to differentiate between attention and
understanding as separate phases of communication theory. To do this,
additional analysis was made of data already gathered from a random
sample of Oregonians by the Survey Research Center at Oregon State University.
An additional objective was to determine the role...
In the last decade, the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem has experienced a trend of increased severity of upwelling-driven coastal hypoxia. This thesis strove to examine the potential upper trophic level impacts of moderate and severe hypoxia in the CCLME. Initially I conducted a literature review of Pacific harbor seal...
The objective of this research is to shed light on the phenomenon of independent volunteer traveling. It represents a form of tourism in which travelers independently organize their own volunteer efforts and typically provide assistance to local people in return for room and board. Travelers operate outside the confines of...
The central Oregon coast was selected as an ideal site for wave energy
development and establishment of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC). PMEC will consist of two nearshore sites, one north (NETS) and one south (SETS) of the Yaquina River, Oregon. Our study aims to assess how the development...
