The Protection of Groundwater - Specifically Oil and Gas Contamination

Creator:: Stash, Karen M.
Abstract:: Groundwater is a vital resource and efforts must be made to protect its quality. In certain areas, its quality has been threatened by the introduction of oil and gasoline, many times originating from underground storage tanks. Massachusetts has directly reacted to this concern about groundwater quality by promulating a Massachusetts...

Awareness of Aging in Taiwan and the United States : An Examination of Ageism among College Students using Stereotypes and Future Self-views

Creator:: Allen, Pamela M.
Abstract:: Ageism in the context of global population aging could lead to increasing human and economic costs. Age stereotypes tend to be negative (Hummert, 1990) and ubiquitous (Nelson, 2002) there are a variety of well documented detrimental consequences of negative age stereotypes on older adults' physical, cognitive and psychological outcomes (Hummert,...

Structure, function, and analysis of Coleoptera and Heteroptera assemblages on two species of hazelnut in Oregon

Creator:: Wetherill, Karen R.
Abstract:: The European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., was imported into the U.S. in the late 1800's and is now grown throughout the Willamette Valley in Oregon. A native species of hazelnut, C. cornuta Marshall, is a common shrub found in forested areas of the Pacific Northwest. Foliage of both C. avellana...

The Collision of Quadratic Fields, Binary Quadratic Forms, and Modular Forms

Creator:: Smith, Karen
Abstract:: As indicated by the title The Collision of Quadratic Fields, Binary Quadratic Forms, and Modular Forms, this paper leads us to an understanding of the relationship between these three areas of study. In [4], Zagier gives the results of an intriguing example of the relationship between these areas. However there...

Comparison of radiative feedback variability over multiple time scales in climate model and reanalysis data

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan M.
Abstract:: In a steady state, the Earth's absorbed solar radiation (ASR) balances the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In response to a radiative forcing, that is, an external perturbation to the top of the atmosphere energy balance, the Earth's climate system adjusts until reaching a...

Impact of discourses on preservice literacy teacher identity development : Subjectivity and agency

Creator:: Larson, Mindy Legard
Abstract:: This research addressed the complexities of identity development in the lives of seven elementary and middle school preservice literacy teachers during their graduate teacher education program at a private western university using a poststructural feminism theoretical lens. This research investigated two questions: 1) How do preservice teachers develop their identity...

A voice from the classroom : an autoethnographic study of a mathematics teacher's development to teacher leader

Creator:: Knapp, Melinda
Abstract:: The focus of this autoethnography was an in-depth analysis of the recorded experiences of a middle school math teacher's transitional development from classroom teacher, to teacher leader. The following research questions guided this study: (1) In what ways did the researcher’s view of self as a teacher leader change during...

Investigating climate feedbacks across forcing magnitudes and time scales using the radiative kernel technique

Creator:: Jonko, Alexandra
Abstract:: Radiative feedbacks associated with changes in water vapor, temperature, surface albedo and clouds remain a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of climate's response to anthropogenic forcing. In this dissertation climate model data is used to investigate variations in feedbacks that result from changing CO₂ forcing and the time...

White principals examine power, privilege, and identity : the challenge of leading for equity

Creator:: McCann, Julie McLaughlin
Abstract:: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experience of white principals in understanding their white identity, privilege, and power as they worked to implement socially-just and culturally proficient schools. The findings offer insights into the following questions: 1) How do white school leaders view white identity and...
