A steady gas convection model of heat transfer to a horizontal
cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed is presented. Contributions due to flow within
attached bubbles as well as the interstitial voids are
included. The interstitial flow is approximated as flow within a series
of double cusped channels and...

Christmas trees are an enduring holiday tradition. U.S. producers supply about 35 million trees annually. The past few decades have seen the Pacific Northwest’s rise to prominence as the leading Christmas-tree producing region in the United States. With a combined annual production estimated at more than 11 million trees, Oregon,...
This study examines a limited number of selected themes in
Judeo-Christian, or Western, religious thought and their implications
for man's use of land, with the objective of discovering the influence
of Western religion on attitudes toward nature and land.
Five themes are examined: dominion of man; stewardship; contempt
for, and...
The consumption of alcohol has been shown to have effects on health that are both harmful and
therapeutic, depending on the amount that is consumed. Alcohol’s effects can be damaging to the body in excess but, in moderation, can act as a protectant against certain conditions. The two studies discussed...
The purpose of this study was to examine self-perceived
success as experienced in a learning environment, and its association
with self esteem. The relationships between pretreatment-self
esteem, posttreatment-self esteem, and perceived success experienced
in a five-week clothing construction course were investigated.
Measures of perceived sewing ability, perceived success,
and course...
This report is an overview of my experience working with
the Consortium for International Fisheries and Aquaculture
Development (CIFAD), administered from an office within Oregon
State University, Corvallis, Oregon. CIFAD is a non-profit
organization comprised of five U.S. universities: the University
of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), University of Hawaii...
A pair of high-resolution oceanographic surveys in March and April 1995 revealed a large and rapid transition from late winter to spring conditions in the coastal zone off central and southern California. These data are unique in capturing the detailed three-dimensional physical structure of and biological response to the spring...
The distribution of anthocyanin pigments and polyphenolics of sweet (Prunus avium) and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) were determined by Ultraviolet- Visible (UV-Visible) spectrophotometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Their antioxidant properties were determined by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)....
The phenolic profile of pineapple juice was analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC/Diode Array Detector, and 9 major peaks accounting for 70% of total peak area were characterized. None of these peaks are represented by the pineapple phenolics reported to be present by previous workers. Most of the major peaks are not...
A method for separation and characterization of individual anthocyanins was
developed. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a polymer based
reversed-phase column was used to separate the pigments while on-line Photodiode
Array Detection (PDA) was employed to record the UV and Visible spectrum of the
individual peaks. Spectral information obtained...
This study centered upon two objectives. First, to demonstrate and apply a statistical method, the transfer function, and to test its usefulness in regional economic modeling and regional impact ana1ysis; and second, to obtain a better understanding of the causal relationships among total employment, government employment, lumber and wood products...
For management purposes, it would be useful to be able to predict streamflow response to forest practices in small, unmonitored basins. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of early successional vegetation on summer streamflow levels. The long-term data records from watershed 1 at the H.J....
Obesity affects one out of every four Americans and represents a
serious health hazard in the United States. Serious chronic diseases
associated with obesity include heart disease, cancer, and adult-onset
diabetes mellitus. There has been a rapid expansion in the number of
weight control centers since the 1970s, yet there...
Developmental series of Rana pretiosa (110 specimens), R.
cascadae (100 specimens) and R. aurora (115 specimens) were bone
stained and cleared in glycerin. The growth and developmental patterns
of the skull and selected bones were followed from the first
appearance of bone through adult stages. The sequential appearance
of the...
The study attempted to accomplish the following:
1. Identify the causes of absenteeism in an inner-city
high school.
2. Investigate and compare the reasons for absenteeism
of: (a) boys vs. girls, (b) students with divorced
parents vs. students with parents who are not divorced, and
(c) bused students vs. resident...
Non-point agricultural contaminants, such as nitrogen, may lower groundwater quality and thereby impose health and environmental risks. The objective of this study is to evaluate tax policies to control agricultural pollutants in a spatially heterogeneous and dynamic setting. The focus of the study is non-point source nitrate contamination of groundwater...

An Abstract of the Thesis of
Ronald A. Fleming for the degree
The purpose of this study is to identify promising practices for the transferability of professional/technical coursework taken at a community college to related programs at universities. The main research question sought to identify the salient elements in existing models of transfer. Supporting the main question, sub-questions sought to identify obstacles...
This dissertation centers on development of two web-based, in class learning tools, the AIChE Concept Warehouse (CW) and the Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering Learning Tool (WISE), and describes the investigation of student learning through their use. The intent of these tools is to promote deeper conceptual understanding in students...

Social interactions are a ubiquitous part of our lives, and the creation of online social communities has been a natural extension of this phenomena. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development efforts are prime examples of how communities can be leveraged in software development, where groups are formed around communities...
Premise of the Study: Hybrid zones provide "natural laboratories" for understanding the processes of selection, reinforcement, and speciation. We sought to gain insight into the degree of introgression and the extent of ecological-phenotypic intermediacy in the natural hybrid strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa subsp. cuneifolia.
Methods: We used whole-plastome sequencing to...
