The purpose of this study was to investigate physical education
and sport in Thailand and, based upon expert opinion, to develop a
blueprint of physical education and sport for the nation building of
Thailand. The investigation concentrated on the history, role and
function, purpose of governmental involvement, and future prospects...
In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered
during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials
used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining many of the materials that
are primarily used under compressive loading is the presence of a high modulus...
Distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Oregon and Washington oystergrowing areas was studied between November 2002 and October 2003. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 14.3% of oyster, 23.0% of seawater, and 44.4% of sediment samples with very low levels (≤7.4 MPN/g) of pathogenic strains being detected in oysters. Occurrence of V....
The travel cost method of deriving demand and value of recreation
does not include fixed costs of recreational durable goods purchases
or allow for supply restrictions on the number of suitable
sites available. The omission of these two real-world situations
results in derivation of demand curves which are more inelastic...
I radio-tagged 191 Hatch-Year (HY) and After-Hatch-Year (AHY) female northern pintails (Anas acuta) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), California and studied their movements, habitat use and survival during August March, 1991-94.
Overall, 94.3% wintered in central California; the highest percentage left during
the 1991 drought. Tulare Basin and Mendota...
Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus) stratify narrowly near 500 m depth during their fifth copepodite resting phase in North Atlantic Slope Water off southern New England, USA. They probably achieve this by migration to a specific, daytime isolume. Photoperiod information provided by light intensity at depth could serve as a cure for...
A non-linear, parabolic type, mathematical model is presented, simulating the movement of an organophosphate insecticide, Vapona, in plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The molecular transport of diffusant in the polymer matrix and its subsequent desorption from the surface have been characterized in terms of the integral rate coefficient for diffusion and...
A study was conducted of the influence of various climatic and
soil factors on the development of onion pink root disease and of the
influences of temperature, light, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources,
and vitamins on the growth in vitro of an Oregon isolate of the pink
root fungus, Pyrenochaeta...
For centuries, continental philosophy has clung to the belief that the world only meaningfully exists through human perception--that, in other words, when a tree falls in the forest, it does not make a sound. Literary theory, which has strong roots in continental philosophy, followed suit, remaining tied to humanism even...
The research conducted here originated with the question of what caused the massive build-up of nuclear arsenals, which included ever larger and more powerful bombs and delivery systems from them, in the United States and the Soviet Union, even though the consensus beforehand was that nuclear energy should be prohibited...
To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts.
We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current
and future decisions about management of species, communities, and...
The purposes of this investigation were twofold:
1. To determine important criteria for making a selection of
course content in general biology.
2. To ascertain what should be the content emphasis in
biology for the purposes of general education at the freshman
college level.
The literature pertinent to the problem...
Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
This essay argues that changes in American energy infrastructure from carbon-based power plants to distributed, renewable energy networks precipitate changes in American literary regionalism. Examining recent regional fiction including Jay Tyrell’s Wind Army, Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Tamarisk Hunter,” and Richard Powers’s The Echo Maker, I argue that stories of climate-change...
This study analyzes food access patterns on the Southern Oregon Coast using GIS technology. The utility and capacity issues of GIS technology are explored as well as the ability for community-based organizations to apply GIS analysis at a local level. A comprehensive literature review is presented which addresses the definition...
During the 27-month period of this project (July 1, 2005-September 30, 2007), the Northwest Digital Archives achieved significant growth in membership, in its finding aid database, and in usage of the database by researchers; conducted extensive testing of the finding aids database with a variety of researcher communities; continued dialogue...
Includes 1922 Summer School Graduates.
In the following pages the information, so far as it has been possible to obtain it, is given in the following order for each alumnus: Name, year in which the degree was conferred, degree, course, present occupation, and present mailing address.
My thesis explores the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as emblematic of Western philosophy and literature's longstanding preoccupation with the relationship between mind and matter. The poets' attempts to mediate their languages and sensibilities with "real nature" have a complicated legacy for today's readers, as Romantic literature...
Changes in blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations were
characterized for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and coho salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch) following intense exercise or exposure to
suspended volcanic ash or topsoil. Significant elevations in blood
calcium and phosphorus accompanied exercise-induced acidemia in both
S. qairdneri and O. kisutch. These elevations persisted...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
With the continual growth of scientific knowledge and ever-increasing arguments for
science as the end-all “objective” system of knowledge, a severe criticism and analysis of
science and its history is direly needed. Within this paper, I use the work of Max
Horkheimer, the Frankfurt School, Martin Buber, and others to...

This study explores how multispecies social networks influence small farmers' perceptions of and responses to climate change across Oregon. Local food sovereignty and food system resilience depend on a robust local food system in which small farms play a critical role. To maintain their viability, small farmers must adapt to...
The purpose of this study was to examine self-perceived
success as experienced in a learning environment, and its association
with self esteem. The relationships between pretreatment-self
esteem, posttreatment-self esteem, and perceived success experienced
in a five-week clothing construction course were investigated.
Measures of perceived sewing ability, perceived success,
and course...
In the twenty-first century, energy in all its manifestations became the issue of the day. As new insights about Earth’s geo-history emerged, so did worldwide concern about human consumption of fossil energy as a force in global climate change. These insights and concerns added another dimension to anthropological examinations of...

This index provides access to infonnation about women in 102 books and journals. The information contained in each entry is only as good as the original and the quality varies considerably. Much of this infonnation has not before been easily accesible in this form. My hope is that this index...
Coastal nations can impose conditions of use on foreign fishing firms that operate in their Exclusive Economic Zone. We develop a game-theoretical model in which a fishery owner maximizes the revenue that it collects from firms that operate in its EEZ by charging them a fishing fee. We find that...
