  • 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...

  • The development of the chlorinity-salinity concept in oceanography

    Creator:
    Wallace, William J.
    Abstract:
    This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805 Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy, The notion that the constituents present in...

  • Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

  • Study of Organic Semiconductors Using Time-Resolved Charge Measurements at the Microscale

    Creator:
    Wallace, Richard
    Abstract:
    Understanding charge transfer in organic semiconductors is important for developing devices like organic light emitting diodes and flexible electronics. Optical tweezers have been used in many disciplines for trapping, manipulating, and analyzing microscopic objects such as microspheres, micro-organisms, and other colloidal particles. Using optical tweezers, studies have measured the average...

  • Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

    Creator:
    Wallace, Zachary P.
    Abstract:
    Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

  • Sensory Analysis and Genetic Mapping of Green Bean Flavor

    Creator:
    Wallace, Lyle T.
    Abstract:
    Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...

  • Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

    Creator:
    Waye, Heather L.
    Abstract:
    While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

  • A settlement model at the Robert Newel Farmstead (35MA41), French Prairie, Oregon

    Creator:
    Manion, Mollie Jo
    Abstract:
    This thesis is based on the excavations of the Robert Newell farmstead (35MA41), excavated in 2002 and 2003 by the Oregon State University Department of Anthropology archaeological field school. Robert Newell lived at this farm from 1843- 1854. Major architectural features, including a brick hearth and postholes were discovered at...

  • Testing and modeling of the single-phase Written-Pole Motor

    Creator:
    Chis, Lucian
    Abstract:
    A relatively new development in the electric machines field has been the written-pole technology, of which the latest product is the large single-phase electric motor, the single phase Written-Pole Motor (WPM). The WPM is a synchronous, permanent-magnet single-phase motor having a weak rotor cage for start-up which in addition exhibits...

  • An analysis of the effectiveness of a learner-centered teaching system compared to that of a conventional teaching of basic electricity to university students

    Creator:
    Ruiter, William Wallace, 1925-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a learner-centered teaching system and that of a conventional teaching of basic electricity to university students. For this study 65 students enrolled in basic electricity at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona were used, distributed in two fall semester...
