Quantitative basin morphology and channel stability with reference to nonpoint sources of pollution in Evans Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Krupin, Paul J.
Abstract:: A Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation procedure has been used to assess the nature and extent of erosional nonpoint sources of pollution in the Evans Creek basin, a tributary to the Rogue River, in southwestern Oregon. The study is based upon the results of the Oregon Department of...

The effects of rise-time and frequency on the auditory brainstem response using high-frequency tone-bursts

Creator:: Gray, Pamela S.
Abstract:: The effects of rise-time and frequency on the auditory brainstem response were studied in six normal hearing adults. Stimuli were high-frequency gated tone-bursts with center frequencies of 8, 10, 12, and 14 kilohertz (kHz). Examined rise-times were .1, .25, .5, and 1.0 milliseconds (msec). Duration was maintained at 2 msec....

Truth, justice, and the American way : what Superman teaches us about the American Dream and changing values within the United States

Creator:: Karp, Lauren N.
Abstract:: This thesis is a study of the changes in the cultural definition of the American Dream. I have chosen to use Superman comics, from 1938 to the present day, as litmus tests for how we have societally interpreted our ideas of “success” and the “American Way.” This work is primarily...

A Numerical Investigation of the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Salt-Encrusted Flat Sabkha

Creator:: Refaei, Raied
Abstract:: Salt-encrusted flats, or Sabkha, are common in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including coastal and inland areas. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility, these soils are often unsuitable for supporting infrastructure or structures. The unique salt content of sabkha formations sets them apart from other soil types....

A theoretical description of anisotropic chemical association and its application to hydrogen-bonded fluids

Creator:: Peery, Travis B.
Abstract:: The thermodynamic and structural effects of highly anisotropic, short-ranged attraction are investigated for single- and four-site interaction models using Wertheim's multi-density graph theory of chemical association. Both models consist of associating hard spheres, where the saturable attraction sites are described by conical wells centered in the hard core and evaluated...

The effect of PACE on self-reported anxiety and performance in first year nursing students

Creator:: Irving, Jan Louise
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was (a) to determine the effect of a four-step learner readiness profile: positive, active, clear, and energetic (PACE) on self-reported anxiety in first year nursing students before skill performance tests, and (b) to determine the effect of PACE on the performance of first year nursing...

Numerical Simulations and Microscale Analyses of Offshore Anchor-Granular Material Systems

Creator:: Zhang, Nan
Abstract:: Anchoring systems are used to hold floating offshore devices (e.g., energy devices, oil platforms) to keep them on their stations. Anchors are embedded into the seabed soils. In some cases, the interface shear between anchor and seabed soils together with anchor self-weight provide the holding capacity of the anchoring systems....

Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:: Baker, Josiah D.
Abstract:: This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

Engineering Behavior of Remolded Diatomaceous Silts

Creator:: Pitso, Talenta
Abstract:: Diatomaceous soils are a geological material whose engineering properties do not readily conform to the widely accepted and used mechanical and behavioral frameworks. This ambiguity results in design difficulties and geotechnical failures which can be costly. Diatomaceous soils have diatoms in their matrix. Diatoms are unicellular algae with an inert...

Behavioral thresholds in mixtures of sand and clay

Creator:: Simpson, Daniel Corder
Abstract:: Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced (and in some cases, governed) by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. A better understanding of the fundamental behavior of soil mixtures will provide insight to...
