Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based
upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure.
Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic
approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by
means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic
approaches are, under certain...
Part I: Racemic and asymmetric syntheses of a new substance with prospective antidepressant properties were achieved. In vitro assays with synthetic racemates (±)-25 and (±)-26 suggested that the former is a relatively selective inhibitor of serotonin transporter whereas the latter is a more balanced inhibitor of both serotonin and norepinephrine...
This thesis is the consequence of a research effort undertaken by the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University and funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). The principal objective of the effort was to reduce the life cycle cost...
Foresters in Action was a radio program created and performed by students of the OSC School of Forestry. It was broadcast by KOAC radio station in Corvallis from 1936 until ca. 1943. The program offered snapshots of rural life in the Pacific Northwest, and sometimes beyond, told through a collegiate...
Management of national forests evokes controversy about the
allocation of limited resources among competing uses. A Land and Resource
Management Plan (Forest Plan) has been prepared for the Payette National
Forest. The Forest Plan describes resource management practices and the levels
of resource production at which the Forest would be...
Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have
functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Both provide refugia for aquatic
communities and their longer mean residence times (compared to the main flow) increase
the potential for biogeochemical reactions that can improve water quality. As STS and
HTS have...

During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...
