Ankle injuries comprise more than 15% of all sports injuries worldwide. The efficacy of the ankle taping for injury prevention has long been under scrutiny as numerous studies have shown that tape rapidly loses its ability to constrain ankle motion with exercise. Consequently, ankle braces (orthoses) are being used with...
The 4-H Shooting Sports Program strives to enable young people, their
parents, and adult volunteers to become responsible, self-directed, and productive members of society. Agents, leaders, instructors, and coaches must understand the goals and objectives of the program in order to manage or present it properly. These goals and objectives...
4-H advancement programs consist of a series of steps that provide a framework for progressive learning within a specific project area. Advancement programs encourage 4-H members to learn at their own speed based on their interests and abilities. Advancement programs are self-paced, and age- and skill-level appropriate. Advancement programs can...

A personal view of the 50 years of broadcasting - radio and ETV - that we call KOAC, Corvallis. Service to people of Oregon from 1922 through 1972 with program philosophies, historical evolution of facilities - and the people who kept is all happening ......
The 134-year old Frantz-Dunn House in Hoskins, Oregon is an intact, well-preserved example of rural Gothic architecture in the Willamette Valley. The old farmstead sits on a former Civil War Fort site and represents a link in the history of the region to the larger patterns of expansion in America...
Doris Lessing and Tsitsi Dangarembga write fiction set in Zimbabwe, the former Southern Rhodesia. Although Lessing grew up as a white settler and Dangarembga, a generation later, as part of the colonized African population, the women sometimes address similar issues. Both write of young girls trying to find a speaking...
The olfactory bulb contains the first synaptic relay in the olfactory pathway, the sensory system in which odorants
are detected enabling these chemical stimuli to be transformed into electrical signals and, ultimately, the perception
of odor. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), a family of proton-gated cation channels, are widely expressed in...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a
training program designed to assist Thai junior high school science
teachers in asking a larger number of higher cognitive level
questions, extending wait-time following a question, and decreasing
the amount of teacher talk during classroom instruction.

Stream chemistry studies conducted in the forested Watershed 1 of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest show a contribution of CO2 from the hyporheic zone. Hyporheic CO₂ concentrations, measured as pCO₂, have a seasonal trend as well as a responsiveness to storm events. Concentrations are highest at the end of the...
The objectives of this paper are (1) to apply
certain techniques for evaluation of social impacts in
a small community situation, and (2) to determine
whether or not the selected techniques are useful for
measuring the impact on community cohesion of a rapid
increase in single family housing in a...
Breeding ecology and behavior were investigated in a field study of three sympatric anuran amphibians in the Oregon Cascade Mountains: the western toad (Bufo
boreas), the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) and the Pacific treefrog (Hyla regilla). A comprehensive study of the western toad mating system was conducted at three populations...

The retro-ene reaction of 2-vinylcyclohexanols occurs readily
in the vapor phase at 400-450° producing unsaturated carbonyl
compounds in good yields. The starting- materials were prepared in
general by the carbenoid addition reaction of ethyl diazoacetate,
appropriately substituted cyclohexene, and copper catalyst to
produce bicyclic esters which were reduced to the...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge. This research examined two different issues wheat breeders deal with throughout the selection process all the way to production of...
Grassland and shrubland birds are declining globally due in part to anthropogenic habitat modification. Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. We used design-based sampling and occupancy models to test relationships of environmental...

Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...

In previous years, at Corvallis, yields of bush snap beans
varied among planting dates. In order to obtain additional information
on the effect of planting dates on the growth, development and
yield of snap beans, four field plantings and two greenhouse plantings
of the variety O.S.U. 2051 were made.

Certain institutions traditionally have had broad socializing influence over their members, providing templates for identity that comprehend all aspects of life from the existential and moral to the mundanely material. Marketization and detraditionalization undermine that socializing role. This study examines the consequences when, for some members, such an institution loses...
Liquid latex was used as a method to seal visible surface-connected preferential flow pathways (PFPs) in the field in an effort to block large surface-connected preferential flow and force water to move through the soil matrix. The proposed approach allows for the quantification of the contribution of large surface-connected cracks...

Stephen Biko was a black leader in South Africa who
died in police custody on September 12, 1977. Biko's death
echoed within the Republic of South Africa and around the
world, showing that racial tensions in that country were

This thesis examines the morphology of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) through several lenses. The first explores Goethe's morphology as he applied it in his botanical work and supplies an explanation of what Goethe referred to as archetypal phenomena and the archetypal plant. The scope of exploration then broadens to...
M. avium is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects macrophages. In order to survive within the macrophage, M. avium secretes proteins into the host cell cytoplasm to inhibit specific functions such as phagosome acidification, altering pathways as well as initiating apoptosis. However, little is known about how those secreted proteins...

A major challenge to the study of the peopling of the Americas is that much of the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), the geographic area that people migrating from Northeast Asia into North America would presumably have passed through, is now submerged due to sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum....
Presenting and synthesizing several paradigms for the teaching of literature in American colleges, I investigate how definitions of reading, readers, texts, interpretations, and knowledge affect student acts of reading and writing. In addition, I draw upon specific examples of text-based, reader-based, and social-cultural based models for the teaching of reading...
