Extension orientations toward poverty : bootstrap, culture of poverty, systemic : an empirical study

Creator:: Fletcher, Roger LeRoy
Abstract:: This study describes Extension field staff orientations toward poverty. Expressions on origins, solutions and definitions of poverty were elicited from informants. Responses were then classified by categories, coded and analyzed using the Statistical Interactive Programming System (SIPS). Orientations were then measured by identifying modal categories. A category was identified as...

Time-based noise-shaping techniques for time-to-digital and analog-to-digital converters

Creator:: Young, Brian LeRoy
Abstract:: In this dissertation, time-based signal processing techniques and their applications in oversampling and noise-shaping data converters are examined. These techniques demonstrate the ability to shift the burden of high performance analog circuits from the compressed voltage-domain to the augmented time-domain. First, the potential of high order noise-shaping and phase-domain feedback...

Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

Creator:: Arnold, Holly Kristin
Abstract:: The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

The cultural significance of mountain regions : implications for the Calapooya Divide, Oregon

Creator:: Starr, Karen J.
Abstract:: Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans also utilize...

Factors affecting establishment and germination of upland prairie species of conservation concern in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Jones, Katherine D.
Abstract:: Identifying mechanisms that determine who lives and dies is the first step in developing successful restoration techniques for rare species and endangered habitats. We studied interactions that affect establishment of native plant forbs of conservation concern at the seedling stage to support the theoretical basis for restoration activities in Pacific...

Hybridization between Castilleja levisecta and C. hispida : Implications for Pacific Northwest Prairie Management

Creator:: Sandlin, Isaac J., III
Abstract:: Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...

Transactional analysis applied to a community development issue

Creator:: Manolescu, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal. Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are examined from a processual point of view to determine how these patterns are generated. The community's history and contemporary situation are described....
