The storage tube computer graphics terminal provides
high resolution, high speed, and comparatively low cost
graphics. Oregon State University currently supports
four such terminals under the OS-3 time sharing system.
The terminals are used for a wide variety of applications
in the physical sciences and engineering.

The accumulation of dieldrin and its effects on species composition of benthic algal communities were studied in laboratory
streams. Effects of dieldrin on photosynthetic and respiratory
rates of the blue-green alga Phormidium retzii were determined using
a Gilson Differential Respirometer.
Dieldrin concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 7.0 ppb were
maintained...
Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

I identify Chopin's Edna Pontellier and Woolf’s Lily Briscoe as painters who exhibit Impressionist strains, both in how they paint and how they...
In this work, I developed a six degree of freedom flight simulator specific to liquid engine launch vehicles. This flight simulator improves upon available software by accounting for liquid engine specific phenomena such as tank pressurization, liquid engine performance, and center of gravity modeling. Additionally, I implemented methods for optimization...
