During the early fall of 1998, I made contact with Therese Graf Tanalski
when I was searching for family members of deceased Hall of Fame
members. Therese grew up in Corvallis, attended OSU, and married a 1944
CE graduate, Theodore T. Tanalski.
During my conversations and correspondence with Mrs. Tanalski...
The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans
who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941
is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for
careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes:
the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading
community of astronomers, the...
Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by
developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the
discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious
effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the
injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring
methods...
William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

Quantification and comparison of morphological changes over the last ~300 y in Oregon salt marshes provide valuable insights into the tectonic, hydroclimatic, and anthropogenic processes shaping this important intertidal zone. Understanding of the rates and drivers of salt marsh change contextualizes intertidal habitats within the sediment routing system (i.e., source...
The resurgence of creationism the past few years has been led by advocates
of recent-creationism. These individuals, a minority among creationists in general,
argue that the entire universe was created approximately 10,000 years ago in one six-day
period of time. Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the
Genesis account...
This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of
constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805
Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography
since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy,
The notion that the constituents present in...
Many mycorrhizosphere microorganisms can produce
plant growth regulating compounds in vitro. Plant growth
regulating compounds are known to mediate root growth and
development. In reforestation practices, conifer tree
seedling growth and survival are linked to rapid root
growth and development after outplanting. Multifactorial
experiments were conducted to document variations in...
Thin films of wide band-gap semiconductors are deposited by the pulsed laser deposition method. Optimal deposition parameters for the individual compounds are reported. A family of p-type BaCuQF (Q = S, Se, Te) ceramics with a layered crystalline structure is investigated for active and passive device applications.
Epitaxial films of...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this thesis is to survey the current practices in
guidance services in the public secondary schools of British Columbia
and on the basis of the survey findings, together with a review of the
literature of guidance, to present recommendations for a feasible
program...
Numerous investigations have been made on the contribution of
butter cultures to the flavor of cultured cream butter, but production
of uniform cultured cream butter has not been possible in industry.
Therefore, it was desirable to investigate in detail the qualitative
and quantitative chemistry of the flavor of high quality...
Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...
The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...
The plan of the present study was as follows:
1. A survey was made of professional textbooks dealing with methods of teaching science and biology. Only books published since 1920 were used.
2. Recently published high school textbooks, workbooks and laboratory manuals, and teachers' guides were reviewed for teaching aids....
Eleven series of untreated posts, 33 series of nonpressuretreated posts, and 13 series of pressure-treated posts remain in test. Series in which all posts have failed now number 34 for untreated, and 18 for nonpressure-treated. Causes of failures since 1949 were: fungi, 77 per cent of failures; fungi and termites,...
Purpose: The general problem was to determine the relationship between biorhythms and injuries to college football participants representing Oregon State University. Procedures: The population consisted of one hundred and ninty two football players representing Oregon State University who participated in the intercollegiate football seasons of 1981 and 1982. Injury data...
Urban parks are biodiversity hotspots within cities and have the potential to provide a range of socio-cultural benefits for people, but may not always meet the needs and desires of park visitors. A variety of land use practices and environmental factors affect urban park biodiversity and vegetation structure, composition, and...
CTD observations were made along sections near Coos Bay at 43° 13'N, off Crescent City at 41° 54'N, off Eureka at 40° 51 'N, off of Half Moon Bay at 37°2q'N, off of Pt. Purisima at 34° 45'N, and along the Code Central and Pt. Arena lines near 39°N during...
The following report presents a summary of the work conducted between
1 March 1973 and 31 December 1973 as proposed in our research contract "The
Development of Methods for Studying Physical and Biological Processes in
the Nearshore Zone on the Pacific Coast of the United States," supported by
the Eugene...

The depression of the 1930s had an early effect on the state of Oregon. A
decline in timber and agricultural production resulted in severe unemployment in the
late 1920s. State and local charitable organizations attempted to care for the
unemployed but they did not have the financial resources to do...

This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from
the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including
critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions
for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010.
Prior to white settlement Oregon...
An Expert Panel convened by the National Lipid Association previously developed a consensus set of recommendations for the patient-centered management of dyslipidemia in clinical medicine (part 1). These were guided by the principle that reducing elevated levels of atherogenic cholesterol (non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) reduces the risk...
