In 2007, the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) put out a request for proposals
to begin to discover answers to many of the environmental and human dimensions
questions. A multidisciplinary group of social scientists – Flaxen Conway, Brent Steel,
Michael Harte, and Bryan Tilt, Oregon State University – responded to...
Five unique but related studies were conducted at the Oregon State University Dairy
Wetland Treatment System (OSUDWTS), Corvallis, OR. The research site consisted of
six parallel wetland cells, which were built in 1992 and began receiving concentrated dairy
wastewater in the fall of 1993. Hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality data...
The objectives of this study were a) to determine
if pyridoxine (PN) supplementation increases the rate at
which plasma urea and ammonia return to basal levels,
following exercise, b) to determine, by open circuit
calorimetry, the utilization of carbohydrates, and c) to
further understand vitamin B-6 metabolism during and
following...
Solid-state amorphous materials show amazing promise in thin-film electronics. The interface-to-bulk ratio of thin films makes interfacial chemistries of these systems of utmost importance. Thin films of amorphous metals, dielectrics and semiconductors have novel chemistries that are not only based upon their elemental constituent makeup, but also based upon the...
Trained male cyclists (6 in study 1, 5 in study 2) cycled to exhaustion (EXH) at
75% of VO₂ max twice; once in the non-supplemented (NS) state and once in the vitamin
B-6 (B-6)(20 mg PN) supplemented (S) state. The diet contained 2.3 mg B-6 in study 1
and 1.9...
Radiological emergency plans ensure that protective actions can and will be taken in the event of an accident. Principle protective actions for the early phase of an emergency are evacuation and sheltering-in-place. While evacuations are generally safe, there are deterministic, long-term health consequences from prolonged displacement that outweigh the stochastic...
The volcanic (~45-10 Ma) and plutonic rocks (~37-12 Ma) comprising the Western Cascades extend from northernmost California to southern British Columbia and are ancestral to modern arc magmatism. The ancestral arc hosts a series of small plutons that are locally associated with porphyry (Cu-Mo) and epithermal (Au) ore deposits. Three...

Summarizes information on wood as an engineering material.
Presents properties of wood and wood-based products
of particular concern to the architect and engineer. Includes
discussion of designing with wood and wood-based products
along with some pertinent uses.
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
Greenwashing is a relatively novel, diversely interpreted, and under-researched social phenomenon. Therefore, studying greenwashing concepts, methodological yardsticks, and the dynamic behind its pervasiveness provides an excellent opportunity to improve our understanding of it, refine our detection tools, and illuminate its influencing factors and impacts on society. This study aims to:...
