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...
In the majority of the less developed countries the small-scale
peasant agriculture is the dominant sector of the countries' economies.
The successes of major agricultural programs in order to increase the
potentials depend primarily on the understanding of the economic organizations
of the peasant households.
This study analyzed over a...
The endemic avifauna of Guam and the Mariana Islands represent a unique assemblage of bird species found nowhere else in the world and thus, are of considerable biological and conservation importance. Unfortunately, most of these species are understudied and exist in precariously low populations. The endangered Mariana Common Moorhen (Gallinula...
In this study, we tried to develop a theoretical framework based on the Schaefer model and establish bioeconometric models to estimate the index of fishery resources using cross-country macro data. The characteristics of our model are that we consider the effect of natural fluctuations of fishery resources over time (in...
Five unique but related studies were conducted at the Oregon State University Dairy
Wetland Treatment System (OSUDWTS), Corvallis, OR. The research site consisted of
six parallel wetland cells, which were built in 1992 and began receiving concentrated dairy
wastewater in the fall of 1993. Hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality data...
Eddy covariance flux research has relied on open- or closed-path gas analyzers for producing estimates of net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water vapor (H₂O). The two instruments have had different challenges that have led to development of an enclosed design that is intended to maximize strengths and...
This paper reviews the history of fish marketing in Japan. The Japanese experience is rich in terms of long history, species handled, products forms, cooking methods, ways of utilization, and interaction with domestic fisheries. Along with the change of people's life style from hunting to farming, marketing and trade have...
Following surveys of seaweeds in Oregon and the Caribbean, four algal species were selected for study on the basis of their crude extract biological activity or thin-layer chromatographic characteristics. Extracts were fractionated by normal phase chromatography, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Derivatives (methyl esters, acetates, and benzoates) of natural...
