School is a hostile environment for many LGBTQ youth. Teachers participate, consciously or unconsciously, in perpetuating oppressive heteronormative expectations in the classroom both through the overt and covert curriculum. Yet, pre-service teachers are under-trained about questions related to gender and sexuality during their teacher preparation. This qualitative study explores the...
The purpose of this thesis is to engage in a linguistic-conceptual inquiry into what it
proposes might for analytical purposes be conceived—and which it hence stipulatively
defines—as Applied Value Words. After constructing the conceptual framework through
which to identify, and within which to characterize Applied Value Words, this thesis then...
Recent conflicts in America concerning the environment (the harvesting of old growth timber in the Pacific Northwest, or the proposed opening of public lands in southern Utah to mining interests, for instance) have precipitated a personal examination of "historical others" (Jensen 64), individuals that possess very different sensibilities from a...
Post-secondary education institutions across the United States are increasingly allocating resources to promote international education exchange programs as a pedagogical praxis to develop students into global citizens. Underlying such notions of global citizenship is the assumption that students will also develop a stronger post-national or cosmopolitan identity as a result...

The growing demand for water in the arid regions of the West
increases the need for optimal allocation of water among competing
uses. An efficient allocation of water between instream and out-of-stream
uses has been impeded by institutional constraints and the
scarcity of information regarding instream flow benefits. The
objectives...
This thesis research consists of an investigation of the human
influences on wildlife in Belize. The study was accomplished by the
collection and analysis of data with respect to land use, habitat
characteristics, and wildlife status in Belize. Requirements and
status of many species are tabulated in order to give...
A biosystematic investigation was undertaken in 15
species and three subspecies of the genus Aster, in western
North America. Previous studies had been based entirely on
external morphological features, and it was believed that
much could be learned about the natural affinities of the
taxa by exploring their cytological and...
A taxonomic investigation was made of 24 taxa belonging
to the section Trichodium (Michx.) Trin., of
Agrostis, and the genus Podagrostis. Experimental methods
were employed, including: uniform garden culture of transplants
and plants grown from seeds collected in natural
populations; breeding studies; physiological and phenological
investigations; cytological studies; ecological
studies...

This thesis develops a model for locating field offices for the
Motor Vehicles Division of Oregon. The locations are determined by
minimizing the total cost to the Public. This is reasonable because
the Public finances the operation and the opening of the offices
through tax dollars, and it bears the...
In this paper we extend the results of the research started by the first author in which Karlin-McGregor diagonalization of certain reversible Markov chains over countably infinite general state spaces by orthogonal polynomials was used to estimate the rate of convergence to a stationary distribution. We use a method of...
With the resurgence in the interest of using natural textile dyes, a solution must be found that will overcome the limitations of traditional natural dyes. This solution must also be safer for both humankind and the environment than are synthetic dyes. This study compares the colorfastness of commercially available synthetic...
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problem studied was whether there exist significant differences
between the perceived knowledge obtained by former secondary
cooperative work experience students as compared to the instructional
goals and objectives of these programs as identified by the Oregon
State Department of Education.
THE PROCEDURE
The problem as...
Use of Granier-style heat dissipation sensors to measure sap flow is common in plant physiology, ecology and hydrology. There has been concern that any change to the original Granier design invalidates the empirical relationship between sap flux density and the temperature difference between the probes. Here, we compared daily water...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not significant
differences exist between three student groups and one faculty
group at Oregon Technical Institute with reference to their perception
of the college environment. The gauge used to assess perception of
the college environment was the College and University...
The study was designed to determine if students using the individualized
instruction method, scored significantly higher on a 30 question
achievement test than did students in more traditional group paced
programs. The study also attempted to determine if attitudes displayed
by educators, as measured on an attitude scale, aided in...
This study was based on the assumption that urban
black students hold more positive attitudes and opinions

A survey of scholarly and popular contemporary literature
reveals two persisting stereotypes regarding the
nature of women.
First is the theory that woman is inferior to man
and that since she is the "negative" of man's masculine
nature, she cannot develop her humanity to the fullest
extent without fusion with...
This study was a comparison of the prevalence of infectious
gastrointestinal disease and the quality of construction of individual,
surface source water systems in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Two measurement instruments were developed for this study. An
objective instrument was developed to determine if the water systems
observed in the study...
It is desirable for complex engineered systems to perform missions efficiently and economically, even when these missions' complex, variable, long-term operational profiles make it likely for hazards to arise. It is thus important to design these systems to be resilient so that they will actively prevent and recover from hazards...
One of the most serious problems confronting modern America
