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,...

The journey of developing multicultural competence : A phenomenological exploration of lived experience in student affairs professionals

Creator:: St. Clair, Serena Erskine
Abstract:: Prior research has noted the changing demographics of higher education since the Civil Rights Movement and the expanded need for multicultural education. Armando Hernandez Morales (2003) wrote that, “A multiculturally competent person is aware of and knowledgeable about cultural differences, their own cultural identity, and the history and contemporary struggles...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...

Motivations for reverse transfer at Rogue Community College

Creator:: King, Aurora N.
Abstract:: As reverse transfer students become a larger part of community college enrollments, it is important to better understand the underlying causes of this nontraditional population’s emergence in the traditional community college system. This quantitative descriptive study found that approximately nine percent of the student body enrolled at Rogue Community College...

Genetic variation in adaptive traits and seed transfer zones for Pseudoroegneria spicata (bluebunch wheatgrass) in the northwestern United States

Creator:: St. Clair, John Bradley, Kilkenny, Francis F., Johnson, Richard C., Shaw, Nancy L., and Weaver, George
Abstract:: A genecological approach was used to explore genetic variation in adaptive traits in Pseudoroegneria spicata, a key restoration grass, in the intermountain western United States. Common garden experiments were established at three contrasting sites with seedlings from two maternal parents from each of 114 populations along with five commercial releases...

Ecophenology and Control of European Frogbit in a Hybrid Cattail Marsh of the St. Marys River, Michigan

Creator:: Wellons, Kathryn C.
Abstract:: Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

The Viability of Container-Based Sanitation as a Tool for Sanitation Coverage in Urban Haiti

Creator:: VanRiper, Froggi Ramona
Abstract:: Haiti is far from achieving the UN goal of sanitation access for all; 20% Haitians have no sanitation access, and less than 0.1% of urban excreta is safely managed. Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) may be a key tool for achieving equitable sanitation coverage in Haiti’s cities. CBS is a sanitation strategy...

High-Density SNP Genotyping of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Reveals Patterns of Genetic Variation Due to Breeding

Creator:: Sim, Sung-Chur, Van Deynze, Allen, Stoffel, Kevin, Douches, David S., Zarka, Daniel, Ganal, Martin W., Chetelat, Roger T., Hutton, Samuel F., Scott, John W., Gardner, Randolph G., Panthee, Dilip R., Mutschler, Martha, Myers, James R., and Francis, David M.
Abstract:: The effects of selection on genome variation were investigated and visualized in tomato using a high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. 7,720 SNPs were genotyped on a collection of 426 tomato accessions (410 inbreds and 16 hybrids) and over 97% of the markers were polymorphic in the entire collection. Principal...

Supporting a Culture of Scholarship for Academic Librarians

Creator:: Sapon-White, Richard, King, Valery, and Christie, Anne
Abstract:: Academic library faculty require a supportive atmosphere in order to successfully engage in research and publication. At Oregon State University, the Library Faculty Association (LFA) provides avenues for peer criticism of manuscripts and presentations and for the discussion of professional issues. A survey of LFA members on their level of...

Genomic Investigations of Diversity within the Milkweed Genus Asclepias, at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Weitemier, Kevin A.
Abstract:: At a time when the biodiversity on Earth is being rapidly lost, new technologies and methods in genomic analysis are fortunately allowing scientists to catalog and explore the diversity that remains more efficiently and precisely. The studies in this dissertation investigate genomic diversity within the milkweed genus, Asclepias, at multiple...
