This thesis offers a theory of queer materiality as a way of understanding the interconnectedness of freaks, ghosts, and madness in Victorian culture, and how these elements coalesce in Victorian literature to destabilize the knowable materiality of normative social structures and forms of embodiment, leading to the production of queer...
“Mother Nature Branches Out” is a children’s story that incorporates developmental concepts important for early literacy development as well as developing skills related to social change and environmental activism. Incorporating and teaching about climate change within the context of a children’s story helps to expand the lens through which children’s...
Many queer scholars have made the turn away from orientations that treat Victorian queerness as either “lost” or “hidden.” Adding more complexity to literary theories which center practices of “revealing” queer artifacts, Sharon Marcus, for instance, argues queer encounters exist at the surfaces of Victorian literature. In addition, Anjali Arondekar’s...

pituitary gland in sheep as influenced by estrogen administered alone
or in combination with progesterone. Particular emphasis was given
to the study of gonadotropic activity.
Mature wethers (experiments I, III, IV and V) or ewes (experiment
II) were utilized as...
Background. Many studies addressing the reasons why minority students fail in higher education are based on what is defined as a deficit model. A deficit model documents that a significant number of minority students fail because their culture is distinct from that of the majority population. Numerous minority students do...

This research study focused on the ways that reading poetry in print differs
Research suggests that a key factor in student persistence and success is the relationships students form with faculty (Chickering & Gamson, 1991; Kuh et al., 2005; Tinto, 1987). While it appears to be intuitive that small classes would promote these instructor/student relationships, research on class size provides conflicting results, with...
Sexual assault in the military is prevalent, underestimated, and sadly overlooked. This is largely due to the inherent patriarchy and hegemonic masculine ideologies that set rigid power boundaries in the military. The roles of powerful and powerless are indoctrinated into Servicemembers from the first moment of training, and are reified...
The purpose of this study was to locate and analyze experimental
studies of teacher training that tested elements of Bandura's

The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...
Lumber drying accounts for about 70 percent of sawmill energy
requirements. Significant recovery of energy used to dry lumber
would result in significant energy recovery for the mill. This is
desirable because of today's high cost of energy. The objective of

could be captured after dark than during...
Incidences of uterine infections in dairy cattle are high between parturition and Day 21 postpartum. Dairy cows with uterine infections are at risk for prolonged periods of days open and multiple services before becoming pregnant. Neutrophils are the first wave of immune system defense against uterine contamination. Neutrophil function seems...
The Romantic period sits in a liminal historical space when radically different ideas about the
categories of past, future, progress, and change coexisted in popular consciousness. The French Revolution inaugurated the concept of an Event, something that appears to come out of nowhere, and that not even the most well-informed...
The ongoing “method war” in literary criticism that has manifested as the impasse between Critique and Postcritique, which are identified respectively with paranoid and reparative modes of reading, raises existential questions about criticism in the face of its declining social value under neoliberalism. This thesis enters that impasse to suggest...
Before we can write intelligently concerning
any subject, we must understand exactly what we are
writing about. As the title tells us, this thesis
deals exclusively with the work and incidentally with
the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, two
notable nineteenth century poets.
Four to six one-gram specimens separated by a distance of
several inches were obtained from each of 23 large chondritic
meteorites (approximately 1 kg each) representing the olivine bronzite
(H5), olivine hypersthene (L6) and enstatite (E5) classifications.
Each specimen was analyzed for Na and Mn via instrumental neutron
activation analysis...

and were dealt with...
Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...
Since its discovery in Oregon in 1946, the pear psylla, Psylla pyricola Forster, has become the most serious insect pest of pear. Damage to pear trees include the transmission of pear decline disease which has caused losses of trees, injection of a phytotoxic toxin resulting in tree shock and injury,...

Animation has long been a staple of children's television programming As
public service announcements (PSA5) have become an important part of children's
television programming, cartoon characters have started to appear in this form of
nonprogram material. By standard definition, PSAs are usually a 15 to 60-second spot
that promote education...

While the primary emphasis of this study was on the professional
aspects of a business teacher's preparation, by necessity it was
concerned with other aspects of the preparation of business teachers,
especially as these relate to the so-called "professional sequence."
Thus the purpose of the study was to seek...
The lower Willamette River, located between river mile 4.0
and 26.5, is the most seriously polluted section of the Willamette
River Basin.
Low dissolved oxygen concentrations of 2.0 to 3.0 mg/1 are
observed annually in this section of the river due to the pollutional
loads discharged into it. Waste discharges...
There are typically two responses to the complex environmental problems of our time: 1) doom and gloom and 2) optimism. There is a lot of doom and gloom in the environmental literature. This literature warns that the future portends danger for humans and their life support systems. But when one...
Benomyl-tolerant Botrytis cinerea was found in snap
bean fields throughout the Willamette Valley while no tolerant
isolates of Whetzelinia sclerotiorum were detected.
Thirty-five benomyl-tolerant isolates of B. cinerea had
slower radial growth rates than eighteen benomyl-sensitive
isolates. Sporulation of an aggressive tolerant isolate
was not stimulated when grown on benomyl-treated...

An assay for fungicidal activity of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate
(Na-MDC) and its decomposition products was developed
in which there was a minimum influence due to the widely varying
physical properties of the compounds (i.e. vapor pressure and water
solubility). Decomposition of the toxicant during the tests was
measured and held to...
An improved procedure for the preparation of β-(3-cyclohexenyl) propionic acid from 4-vinylcyclohexene was developed. The
Friedel-Crafts cyclization of β-(3-(3-cyclohexenyl) propionyl chloride
with aluminum chloride was shown to give one bicyclic chlorine
containing ketone in 41% yield. This ketone was identified by a combination of spectral and chemical methods as a...
An ionization chamber was constructed, using a fiberglass wall
sphere, for the purpose of measuring background radiation. The

An investigation of the fishes of the Willamette River and three of its larger tributaries was made during July, August, September, and November of 1951, to ascertain the possibility of using them as bio-indices of pollution. Thirteen stations were established on the Willamette River and tributaries. These stations were selected...
Discussions of ecopoetics often seek to investigate how poetics as a form can be rendered more ecological, often in contrast to nature poetry. These conversations tend to concentrate on this generic contrast and the formal qualities of an ecological poetics. Ecopoetics as a field emerged largely as a response to...
Grass seed producers in Oregon's Willamette Valley have
employed the cultural practice of post-harvest open field burning
since the mid-1940's for purposes of field sanitation and crop residue
disposal This practice creates environmental quality problems of
