This paper is a classification of 181 problems, each of which involves the evaluation or application of determinants. The problems are those which have appeared in the "Problems and Solutions" sections of the American Mathematical Monthly, Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung Jahresbricht, Mathematics Magazine, and School Science and Mathematics. The problems are classified,...
Metal-oxides are very important in industrial applications such as thermal barrier coatings, corrosion protection, and heterogeneous catalysis. The wide variety of applications for metal-oxides are derived from the array of properties of metal-oxides. It is, therefore, important to understand and predict the conditions of synthesis and operation to optimize the...
Report of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission’s transactions and operations for July 1, 1980-June 30, 1982. This report summarizes fish and game resources for the biennium, as well as research conducted and an outline of activities to educate the public on operations. It contains information on game such as...
Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...
As technologies like 3D printing increase in prevalence and capabilities, having a robot hand specifically designed for a given manipulation task also becomes more feasible. Leading to the question of how to design a robot hand for a specific manipulation task. To answer this question, I propose we need three...
Communication cannot be successful without the
cooperative listening response of an auditor. Auditors must
feel empowered to act as agents of change or their decisions
and actions cannot be influenced by the discourse. Their
every response depends upon their ability to perceive
themselves as potential mediators of change.
A review...
Pesticides benefit agriculture by increasing crop yield, quality, and security. However, pesticides may inadvertently harm bees, which are valuable as pollinators. Thus, candidate pesticides in development pipelines must be assessed for toxicity to bees.
Leveraging a data set of 382 molecules with toxicity labels from honey bee exposure experiments, we...
This is a set of documents and letters compromising a proposal by James McCauley to bring lobsters to the West Coast. The proposal involved the University of Rhode Island, the OSU Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Oregon State University, and the Oregon Fish Commission. The letters are to several people,...
