Designing An Effective Approach to Science Teacher Educator Professional Development : Lessons from the Science Education Faculty Academy

Creator:: St. Clair, Tyler L.
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of a set of three manuscripts exploring features of effective professional development (PD) for science teacher educators. Literature about context-specific PD for science teacher educators is sparse. The first manuscript, a literature review, outlines theoretical lenses through which PD can be understood, the features of effective PD,...

Aspects of the Nature of Engineering for K-12 Science Education : A Delphi Study

Creator:: Hartman, Brian D.
Abstract:: Recent state and national standards have increased the interest in engineering at the K-12 level. Science standards, in particular, have begun to make the case for including engineering throughout the K-12 scope of study. Despite the increased attention to engineering, the characteristics and uniqueness of the field of engineering are...

Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

Creator:: Holloway, James Lee
Abstract:: As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...

Development, fabrication, and characterization of transparent electronic devices

Creator:: Hoffman, Randy L.
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to provide an initial demonstration of the feasibility of constructing highly transparent active electronic devices. Such a demonstration is successfully achieved in the fabrication of ZnO-based thin film transistors (TFTs) exhibiting transparency greater than ~90% in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and...

Assessing the knowledge of county extension agents on geotextile applications for agricultural practices in Oregon and Idaho

Creator:: Brown, Linda Lee
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to assess county extension agents' knowledge of geotextiles; to determine their current level of information and their location on an adoption-diffusion curve; and to determine the agents' attitudes toward the potential use of geotextiles in agriculture, specifically in soil erosion control. A questionnaire was...

Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

Creator:: Bell, Jimmy D.
Abstract:: MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

Learning-based control and coordination of autonomous UAVs

Creator:: Bell, Adam R.
Abstract:: Uninhabited aerial vehicles, also called UAVs are currently controller by a combination of a human pilot at a remote location, and autopilot systems similar to those found on commercial aircraft. As UAVs transition from remote piloting to fully autonomous operation, control laws must be developed for the tasks to be...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

Public interest organization activity in environmental decisions : a case study of integrating source separation services into the Corvallis, Oregon, solid waste franchise

Creator:: Barnett, Richard Lee
Abstract:: This study was conducted to observe the manner in which three local public interest organizations participated in a local, environmentallyoriented decision process. The study period began in December, 1978, with the passage of a revised solid waste ordinance (Ord. 78-102) for the City of Corvallis, OR. The main forum for...
