This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...
In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs
were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van
Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait.
The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated
into 282 taxa, including 108 species...
The ultrastructure of the oviduct and the hormonal induced
alterations in the cellular organelles of prepubertal and ovariectomized
rabbits have been studied with electron-microscopic histochemical
methods.
The pseudostratified epithelium of the oviduct in prepubertal
rabbits contained both ciliated and secretory cells. The secretory
cells showed apocrine projections filled with electron-dense...
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...

The behavior of a metal vapor plasma arc in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace is believed to contribute to the formation of defects in reactive metal and super-alloy ingots. Industry standard instrumentation, which includes electric current and voltage measurements, can asses the stability of an arc but cannot predict...
Currently, the temporal arc distribution across the ingot during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is not a known or monitored parameter. It is has previously been shown that arcs can spatially constrict during VAR, and this constriction can lead to undesired defects in the material. Additionally, correct accounting for...
Objective: To explore the controversial issue of the safety and use of mercury in
amalgam dental fillings. Methods: Using a variety of scientifically oriented studies,
overall trends and conclusions were analyzed. Relevant articles include Children’s
exposure to Amalgam, fetal exposure, environmental mercury, occupational exposure,
and mercury and Multiple Sclerosis. Additional...
A cross-cultural analysis of business practices based on video recordings of interviews with business professionals in both Oregon and Taiwan, with the intent of finding evidence to support or question current beliefs about cultural differences between American and Asian cultures. Particular focus is paid to business practices such as networking,...
During his lifetime C. S. Lewis chose to speak to Christians in plain and simple language that they could understand. Lewis taught and defended truths that he felt were discernible through reason. Morality, free will, and the divinity of Jesus Christ were fundamental to his core beliefs and teachings. His...

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a problem world-wide. Current methods for assessing Zn status are limited to measuring plasma or serum Zn within populations suspected of deficiency. Despite the high prevalence of Zn deficiency in the human population there are no methods currently available for sensitively assessing Zn status among individuals....

The purpose of this project was to investigate play and our cultural assumptions as to its usefulness or lack there of. The concepts of hard work versus hard play were explored in order to discover when human beings are operating at their best. In terms of innovation and productivity in...
Fort Hoskins is located near Kings Valley, approximately 16 miles from
Corvallis. The Fort, built after the Rogue Wars of the 1850s, was intended to safeguard
the newly created Indian reserves. During its' ten-years of existence, U.S. Army
Regulars manned the Fort from 1856-1861 while volunteers from California,
Washington, and...
Complex oscillations including chaotic motions have been identified in off-shore and submerged mooring systems characterized by nonlinear fluid-structure interactions and restoring forces. In this paper, a means of controlling these nonlinear oscillations is addressed. When applied, the controller is able to drive the system to periodic oscillations of arbitrary periodicity....
The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the
acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic
acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been
examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The
proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme
and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing
increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible,
profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the
premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is
limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will
visit more flowers per...
Preparation of a cytochrome c-cytochrome oxidase complex
was achieved, using crystalline beef cytochrome c and purified
cytochrome oxidase from beef heart muscle, or from the
Keilin-Hartree preparation. Succinate oxidase was reconstituted
with the complex.
A mixture of cytochrome oxidase, solubilized with nonionic
detergent, and excess cytochrome c was exposed to...
The first area of investigation involves the electron transport
of sub-mitochondrial particles and their components. The second
area is the synthesis of ATP and other energy linked reactions and
components of the energy conservation and transfer apparatus.
Investigations on the nature of the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine
(TMPD) shunt indicated that tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ)...
It has been reported that cyanide inactivates the succinate dehydrogenase activity of HMP toward cytochrome c, oxygen, methylene blue and DCIP. In the present study, it was found that cyanide
also solubilizes the SDH from HMP, this is reflected by the extent
of solubilization of acid nonextractable flavin in the...
Environmental swabs and meat samples from two of three seafood
processing plants sampled on the Oregon Coast were found to
contain Salmonella. Although these enteropathogens were not isolated
from the finished products, the danger of contamination is great
since the processing received by many seafoods is not designed to
yield...
The need for better procedures for detecting Staphylococcus
aureus prompted an investigation to improve coagulase testing. The
rates of coagulase clotting were studied by using varying concentrations
of trypsin inhibitor and coagulase-reacting factor (CRF). Egg
white trypsin inhibitor activated coagulase clotting when added to a
final concentration between 2 and...

An adequate soil fertility program will pay big dividends in the production of field corn, providing the recommended variety is seeded, weeds and other pests are controlled, and an adequate moisture level is maintained. Corn effectively uses the nitrogen built up by alfalfa or clover and the nutrients supplied by...
These six stories represent a child's search for identity. The first story, "Road Map," is intended to be independent from the other pieces in this collection, but has been included because it is clearly set in the same place and explores many of the same themes of the other pieces....
