Work-related hazards and exposures affect human health and well-being. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) surveillance is fundamental to the public health approach. OSH surveillance provides important data on the occurrence and magnitude of the problem and risk/protective factors. A wide variety of OSH surveillance programs and systems have been established...
Martin Buber was an internationally known scholar,
teacher, and author whose works covered education, communication,
politics, theology, philosophy, counseling,
and related fields. The purpose of this study was to
discover the implications of Buber's philosophy of education
for the student services profession. Previous
attempts to relate Martin Buber's philosophy to...
Focus on Forestry is published by Oregon State University College of Forestry. Our goal is to keep Forestry alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students informed about the College of Forestry and its many activities and programs.
We present a new, non-flux corrected AOGCM, GENMOM, that combines the GENESIS version 3 atmospheric GCM (Global Environmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems) and MOM2 (Modular Ocean Model version 2) nominally at T31 resolution. We evaluate GENMOM by comparison with reanalysis products (e.g., NCEP2) and three models used in...
Several physical and chemical characteristics of sediments have
been proposed for use in tiered testing plans to predict the
presence of trace metals in estuarine sediments. Correlations often
exist, but the mere presence of a trace metal does not indicate
toxicity; a more thorough approach is needed.
Available information on...
The focus of this research was to gain an understanding of physical activity in elementary school-aged children with mental retardation (MR). The primary purpose of the first study was to investigate physical activity levels of children with and without MR in both school and out of school environments. The secondary...
Sediments are the major compartment in aquatic environments for many materials of toxic or nutrient concern. The lack of knowledge of the phase associations of toxic metals in sediments is the largest deficiency in our understanding of the environmental hazard posed by metal contamination. This study examined the sedimentary partitioning...
