The cultural and historical construction of African American identity in the United States has been closely tied to the dialectical relationship formed between sound and silence. This thesis examines the modernist and postmodernist representation of sound and silence in the African American novels Passing (1929), by Nella Larsen, and Jazz...
The purposes of the research presented in this thesis were
to: (l) assess the nutritional status of vegetarian and nonvegetarian
Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), non-SDA non-vegetarians,
and non-vegetarian hormone dependent cancer subjects; (2) determine
the relationship of various blood and urinary biochemical
parameters to dietary intake; (3) determine hormonal status in...
Microchannels in ocean basalt glass are often attributed to the activity of microorganisms, however, neither the mechanism of formation of microchannels in glass nor the involvement of microorganisms have been confirmed by experimentation. Experimental abiotic corrosion of basalt glass with 1% hydrofluoric acid (HF), a proxy for more slowly acting...
Oomycetes form a deep lineage of eukaryotic organisms that includes a large number of plant pathogens which threaten natural and managed ecosystems. We undertook a survey to query the community for their ranking of plant-pathogenic oomycete species based on scientific and economic importance. In total, we received 263 votes from...
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...
Includes 1922 Summer School Graduates.
In the following pages the information, so far as it has been possible to obtain it, is given in the following order for each alumnus: Name, year in which the degree was conferred, degree, course, present occupation, and present mailing address.
This thesis examines archaeological material in order to explore gender and ethnicity issues concerning fur trade era families from a settlement in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Ethnohistorical information consisting of traders journals and travelers observations, as well as documentation from the Hudson's Bay Company, Catholic church records, and genealogical information...
The Columbia River Gillnetter is the pilot of the Lower Columbia River commercial fishing industry, keeping fishermen and the public in touch with today's important issues.
MIKE SHE is a fully distributed, physically-based hydrologic model that can simulate water movement over and under the Earth's surface. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the components of this model. MIKE SHE uses a modification of the Kristensen -Jensen (1975) method to calculate actual ET. This method is based on...
The purpose of the study was to develop a system and procedure for classifying and cataloguing the textile, costume, and slide collections of the Clothing, Textile, and Related Arts (CTRA) Department at Oregon State University. Investigation was made by letter, personal visit, interview with faculty and curators, and literature research...
Unknown questions remain concerning the health of migrant farm workers,
seasonal farm workers, and other rural poor people. The objectives of this study were to
determine the demographic profile of a sample from a Community and Migrant Health
Center; to determine the prevalence of disease in migrant farm workers, seasonal...
Translation of efficacious programs into real-world settings is an important step in ensuring improved public health outcomes. Yet, the process of translating evidence-based interventions (EBIs) according to fidelity is fraught with challenges. Organizational factors, specifically organizational communication, have been shown to influence translation processes.
To date, there is limited research...
Stratigraphy and chronology are essential to sedimentological study of Earth system histories. And, stratigraphy and chronology are often challenging and interesting problems themselves. The Quaternary (2.588 Ma - present) experienced paleoenvironmental and paleo-geomagnetic variability well outside the range of the recent instrumental record, providing the opportunity to place recent observations...
This compilation follows the Fifty-Seven-Year Index to the Sierra Club Bulletin annuals, 1893-1949, compiled by Dorothy H. Bradley and George Shochat and published by the Club in 1952. This index covers the monthly issues from 1950 through 1976 as well as the annuals, which were dated as monthly issues but...
The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management propose to adopt coordinated ecosystem management direction for the lands they administer within the range of the northern spotted owl. This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS) presents as alternatives the options, with slight modifications, developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment...
