The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

Soil mounds and patterned ground of the Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve

Creator:: Johnson, Colleen Burch
Abstract:: The Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve, located in Wasco County, Oregon, exhibits a wide variety of soil mounds and patterned ground features. The size, shape, and distribution of several elements of this peculiar landscape were analyzed with a detailed map, field observations, and statistical procedures. Common soil mound shapes are circular,...

Planktivorous Auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) nesting on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska as indicators of marine conditions in the northern Bering Sea

Creator:: Gall, Adrian
Abstract:: Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...

Semi-volatile organic compounds and developing organisms : accumulation in California mountain tadpoles in the field and fish embryo exposures in the laboratory

Creator:: Stanley, Kerri A.
Abstract:: The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...

Toxic politics at 64N, 171W : addressing military contaminants on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska

Creator:: Henifin, Kai A.
Abstract:: St. Lawrence Island, Alaska is home to two Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) under remediation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers since 1985. After more than two decades the local residents continue to be concerned about inadequate site characterization and cleanup. During the summer of 2005, I collected ethnographic...

Microhabitat selection of brood-rearing sites by greater sage-grouse in Carbon County, Wyoming

Creator:: Schreiber, Leslie A.
Abstract:: Declines in Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter sage-grouse) populations could be attributed to low chick survival, which may be influenced by the availability of food and cover at sites used by females rearing broods. Habitat attributes important to broods may vary regionally; thus, it is necessary to understand factors affecting...

Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

Creator:: Steiner, Samantha K.
Abstract:: Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

Creator:: Price, Matthew F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...
