The purpose of this study was to determine if male and female
Counselor-Trainees enrolled in master's degree programs in the
State of Oregon would emit significantly different responses to a
new and professionally developed video-based client simulation.
The sample consisted of ninety-two Counselor-Trainees
enrolled during the 1975-76 academic year in...
Simulations of past climates require altered
boundary conditions to account for known shifts in the Earth
system. For the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent
deglaciation, the existence of large Northern Hemisphere
ice sheets caused profound changes in surface topography
and albedo. While ice-sheet extent is fairly well
known, numerous...

The purpose of this study was to understand the individual experiences of four adult literacy practitioners, Anne, Bill, Candy, and Emily, in the first cohort of the Oregon Field-Based Cohort Master's Program. This program, which Oregon established in 1993 as one venue of professional development for adult literacy and English...
Previous Paleoclimate Model Intercomparison Project (PMIP) simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) showed dissimilar results on transports and structure. Here we analyze the most recent PMIP3 models, which show a consistent increase (on average by 41 ± 26%) and deepening (663 ± 550 m)...

This qualitative study was designed to identify factors
that might affect the psychological and educational wellness
of nontraditional students in nontraditional graduate
programs in Education.
Specifically, informants were selected purposefully
from three Oregon State University extended-campus graduate
programs in Education. Student informants were working
professionals with family obligations. Faculty informants...
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of selected historical, fiscal, and organizational factors on enrollment patterns in Oregon Community Colleges during the academic years 1978-79, 1981-82, and 1984-85. Oregon was selected insofar as it is one of the few remaining states which observes the principle of...
We apply GENMOM, a coupled atmosphere–ocean climate model, to simulate eight equilibrium time
slices at 3000-year intervals for the past 21,000 years forced
by changes in Earth–Sun geometry, atmospheric greenhouse
gases (GHGs), continental ice sheets, and sea level. Simulated
global cooling during the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM) is 3.8°C and...

Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...
Many jobs in the United States have shifted to requiring education beyond high school credentials. Many potential workers are enrolled in pre-postsecondary education, or basic skills. A small percentage of students transition from basic skills to postsecondary education. Research identifies key institutional practices and supports have shown to increase transitions,...
