At Oregon State University (OSU), the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the OSU Libraries are working together on a project to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of digital information created and collected by academic libraries. This project focuses on making digital resources more accessible through an...
Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine scientific arguments constructed by secondary science teachers during instruction. The analysis focused on how arguments constructed by teachers differed based on the mode of inquiry underlying the topic. Specifically, how did the structure and content of arguments differ between experimentally and...
Innovativeness can help companies differentiate themselves, with the ultimate goal of securing survival and improving performance. Modern theories in organizational behavior look at innovation as something that starts with individual creativity but that is also affected by the work environment. Using one broad industry sector, the US forest products industry,...

As part of...
This article investigates the origins of the variability of the Malvinas Current (MC)
transport using the results of an eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model. First, the
dynamical links between the variabilities of the MC and the Antarctic Circumpolar
Current (ACC) transports at the Drake Passage are established. Time series analyses...
Present methods used to retrieve altimeter data do not provide reliable estimates of
sea surface height (SSH) in the nearshore region, resulting in a measurement gap of
25–50 km next to the coast. In the present work, gridded SSH fields produced by
Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data...
The purpose of the present study is to examine consumers' privacy concerns in the online shopping context. Drawing from Social Contract Theory, the present study proposed a structure equation model to examine how consumers' evaluations of online shopping experiences (perceived benefit, risk and fairness) and attitudes (trust, moods, and repurchase...
