Capillary pressure-saturation data obtained for unconsolidated porous media with different liquids are examined to investigate the effects of clay-liquid interactions on liquid retention. Liquid retention functions are assumed to reflect the effective pore-size distributions. The hydraulic variables, capillary pressure and saturation, are transformed to account for changes in liquid retention...
Despite potential advantages of rights-based management over competitive fisheries, there has been significant political resistance to rights-based management from many fishermen, which has slowed the
adoption of rights-based management. This paper explores the concept of voluntary transitions to rights-based
management, under which fishermen may choose between an allocated fishery (with...
This thesis presents the results of two studies that investigate the question of what interruption-styles are most appropriate for end-user programmers who are debugging programs. In the studies, end-user programmers are presented with surprises that encourage them to investigate, use, and learn about debugging devices in their programming environment. We...
I assessed potential barriers to dispersal using homing tendency and investigated the movements and settlement site selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) after short distance translocations in southeastern Oregon from June – December 2008. I captured, radio marked, and translocated 59 pygmy rabbits 1-2 km across landscapes with (1) continuous...
Interstitially filled skutterudites are a promising class of state-of-the-art thermoelectric
materials. Although thermoelectrics are exposed to significant thermal stresses, little
information is known about the fracture toughness of interstitially doped skutterudites. This
work explores the fracture toughness of undoped Co₄Sb₁₂ and indium doped In₀.₁Co₄Sb₁₂
skutterudites using three methods: 1) Vickers...
An experimental investigation of a two·dimensional turbulent jet in a quiescent environment has been
carried out to determine the structural characteristics of the outer, intermittent turbulent motion. An
overall picture of this motion was deduced from the results which indicate that, on the average, the
turbulent bulges are of the...

Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...
