There is a considerable amount of vacant land
zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth
Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals
a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely
scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is
misleading, as only 77.50...
The role of nitrate oxygen as a terminal acceptor of hydrogen
stands as a unique form of bacterial respiration. As nitrate is reduced
to nitrite on to the gaseous state (N₂, N₂O) the substrate is
oxidized to give the requisite energy for cell growth. The present
study will deal with...
Each year an estimated one million young women in the United States develop an eating disorder. Without early recognition of symptoms and early intervention/treatment, these eating disorders can lead to a host of chronic and debilitating illnesses.
Tooth erosion is one of the first signs of an eating disorder, providing...
Some evidence suggests a connection between outdoor recreation participation and
stronger environmental worldviews. This study finds little evidence supporting
participation in outdoor recreation activities and stronger environmental worldviews and
some evidence supporting a weak connection between appreciative outdoor recreation
and stronger environmental worldviews. Additionally, the study documents greater
participation in...
Latino students are among the fastest growing demographic groups in the nation, particularly in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Within California in 2014, over 70,000 students are involved in Agricultural Education programs, and Latino students now account for over 50% of the total enrollment - and the percentage of...
Families and early care and education (ECE) programs are two important contexts in which young children develop (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). Nearly half of all preschoolers are cared for in nonrelative care (e.g. child care center, preschool, Head Start, teacher’s home; Laughlin, 2013), and ECE programs have the potential to...
Nondimensionalized equations of motion for waterdrops, not necessarily obeying Stokes's
law, are derived and used to calculate the response of various size drops to changes in horizontal
wind speed. We find that (1) cloud drops respond almost instantaneously to changes
in wind speed, whereas raindrops require considerable time to adjust,...
