Evidence supporting the contribution of American high school
curricula to student transition from school to work was inconclusive.
Social science research indicated that high school programs had little
effect upon student achievement after leaving school. This study
developed a model to identify factors that influence the transition
from school to...
Normal adult rats absorbed and metabolized C¹⁴-labeled acetate
rapidly. The greatest percentage of the administered radioactivity
was recovered in the expired CO₂, however small amounts of radioactivity
were also found in the urine and feces. There were two rates
of C¹⁴O₂ elimination in normal adult rats. The small amount of...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze criteria
and procedures used in the selection of occupational advisory committee
members in Oregon community colleges. The existence of a
common core of criteria and procedures for selecting occupational
advisory committee members was investigated. Further, the...
The Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, in the Front Range west of Denver, Colorado, is the largest vein-type uranium deposit in the United States. The deposit is situated in a steeply dipping fault system that cuts Proterozoic metamorphic rocks. The host rocks represent a submarine volcanic system with associated chert and iron-...
Seasonal trends in forage production and environmental parameters
for five plant community types within a northeastern Oregon riparian zone
were described and modeled using correlation and path analysis. Wet
meadows produced the greatest amount of herbage biomass, followed by moist
bluegrass meadows, gravel bars, forests and dry bluegrass meadows. Trends...
The study resulted from a desire and interest to include computer
simulation techniques in the design of educational practices.
The purposes of the study were (1) to develop a computer model which
would simulate the service functions of a counseling center by tracing
students through the center and (2) to...
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to identify a set of core competencies needed to meet the minimal requirements for high school graduation and to test their level of acceptance by administrators, counselors, teachers and parents in 50 Oregon secondary school districts. PROCEDURES: Utilizing the 1136 existing graduation competencies...
Transferrin of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus
hemionus columbianus) displayed two types of polymorphism. One
type involved differences in sialic acid content. The nature of the
other polymorphism is not known. A hypothesis for three codominant
alleles at a common locus was proposed and tested by using the
Hardy-Weinberg Principle. The...
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships and the differences between the self-concept and the coping
behavior of two selected groups of graduate students namely, foreign-born
Asians and American Caucasians who were enrolled in graduate
school of Oregon State University during the 1981-82 academic year.
The...
The study compares the differences in verbal responses between
39 Anglo-resident and 32 Anglo-migrant children in the first grade in
selected school districts in Oregon.
The children were tested for I. Q. using the Goodenough Draw-
A-Man test. They were grouped for comparison purposes by age,
sex, and by migrancy...
Esophageal fistulation, stomach content analysis, fecal analysis,
and ocular-estimate-by-plot are four of the most publicized methods
of determining the diets of large herbivores. The principal objective
of this study was to compare the relative values of each of these
methods based upon information collected from bi-fistulated (esophageal
and rumen) sheep...
The problem of this study was to develop and validate an instrument
that would measure vocational teacher trainees and practitioners'
attitudes toward handicapped learners. The item pool consisted
of 90 items which addressed three major dimensions of attitudes
toward handicapped vocational students: handicapping conditions,
characteristics of these conditions, and the...
This paper examines the constitution of 'sustainable management' within the context of the New Zealand marine environment. Firstly this paper examines the difference between 'sustainable ecosystems' and 'sustainable utilisation'. The distinction is important if we are to make sense of the different ways in which various stakeholders (fishers, fisheries companies,...
This paper contends that stakeholders represent New Zealand fisheries through a sustainable fisheries imaginary. Stakeholders use the imaginary to legitimise sustainable utilisation. The imaginary is built using a series of calculative practices that constitute a measurement system (or metrology), that shape regimes of control. This imaginary is made manifest through...
The goal of this research was to identify those program elements
and their levels of fulfillment in community college cooperative
education programs which are essential if the success of an employer's
contribution to a student's training is to be reasonably assured.
The primary purpose was to determine if statistically significant...

Purpose of the Study: This study was undertaken as a result of interest in the
introduction of guide groups into the operation of secondary
schools. Particularly when viewed from the historical perspective
of the times in which it was initiated, the guide group concept
offers an opportunity to examine the...
The typically sparse distribution of weather stations in mountainous terrain inadequately resolves temperature variability. Accordingly, high‐resolution gridding of climate data (for applications such as hydrological modeling) often relies on assumptions such as a constant surface temperature lapse rate (i.e., decrease of surface temperature with altitude) of 6.5°C km⁻¹. Using an...
An integrative method for monitoring glacier geometry change and mass balance is presented and applied to the Pacific Northwest, USA. Acting as a baseline for interpretation of future changes in glacier size and shape, we first derive a new inventory of regional glacier cover using remotely sensed data. To investigate...
This thesis presents the steps that were taken to develop thematic findings using data from a qualitative study. Using a grounded approach, the study focused on qualitatively exploring Mexican origin caregivers' conceptualizations of elder caregiving in terms of role functioning, social norms, cultural beliefs, and familial obligations. Data collected from...
One reading of the post-postmodern literary period argues that as formal aesthetics have (re)engaged with ethics there has been a concomitant move to treat literature as a space of ethical potential. Adam Kelly has called this attitude, when combined with the appropriation of certain metafictional and postmodern techniques, the “New...
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 is the second and concluding volume in Stern's acclaimed study of the relationships between Plateau Indians and the white fur traders, missionaries, and settlers who entered their world.
This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...
Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
