The study examined associations between rural interschool district expenditure allocations and high school student achievement, after accounting for socioeconomic factors. Both cross-sectional and time series per-student expenditure data (1982-1988) were used. Eleven performance criteria were evaluated based on 1985-1988 data. The sample included 27 small Central and Eastern Oregon school...

Using techniques that permit the direct observation of
fetuses in vivo, prenatal behavioral development was
compared among four species in the rodent family Muridae:
the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), Mongolian gerbil
(Meriones unguiculatus), cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), and
spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus). Rattus and Meriones bear
altricial offspring, as do...
The goal of this thesis is the identification and synthesis of high-luminance,
primary color alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices.
Special attention is paid to the synthesis of primary color green ACTFEL devices because
of the lack of an adequate primary green ACTFEL phosphor and the dominance
of green wavelengths in...
This study was conducted with the aim of modeling and forecasting the Indian shrimp export prices to the USA. Two major species mainly Black tiger (Penaeus monodon), white legged shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannmei) headless, shell on form, grade 16/20 were considered for the study. Published data on weekly price indicators of...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
The study is designed to determine what differences exist between
the nonverbal as well as verbal behaviors and teacher-student
interaction patterns in selected CHEM Study and traditional chemistry
classes in Oregon. Analysis of behavior in these classes is in terms
of a new observation system developed by H. D. Schalock...
This study examined the validity of the WA PPA process which was developed to assess teacher candidates for licensing purposes. Three validities were investigated using Messick’s view. Content validity was addressed using the raters’ judgment to
establish alignment between the WAC standards and the INTASC. Evidential validity refers to the...
The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
The purpose of this research was to determine the common
professional training needs, proficiency and managerial requirements
of Oregon community college physical education instructors. The
respondents in this study were instructors who teach physical education
activity courses PE 180 - 185 - 190 in Oregon community colleges.
Four major tasks...
Bayesian networks are probabilistic models that represent complex distributions in a modular way and have become very popular in many fields. There are many methods to build Bayesian networks from a random sample of independent and identically distributed observations. However, many observational studies are designed using some form of clustered...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between introductory lessons on creativity and
the creativity displayed in students' finished clothing
projects. The sample consisted of 22 students in the
experimental group and 26 students in the control group at
the intermediate level in high school clothing construction....
There is a significant need in recent mobile communication and wireless broadband
systems for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that have wide
bandwidth (BW>5-MHz) and high data rate (>100-Mbps). A delta-sigma ADC is
recognized as a power-efficient ADC architecture when high resolution (>12-b) is
required. This is due to several advantages...

This thesis examines the representation of consumer culture in Fight Club within the context of Frederic Jameson's theory of postmodernism. I propose that the film represents consumer culture as a totalizing system. This representation is evident in the setting of the film and in the Narrator's attempt to escape from...
The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of
native fishes and their impact on community stability were
investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the
central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS)
introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are
considered byproducts of culturing...
