The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs -- one
group and one self-help -- which were developed and are
currently employed by the American Cancer Society.
The research was conducted in a work setting, and
all subjects were employees of the State...
A set of circuit analysis programs designed for the IBM 1620
computer (having 40,000 digits of memory) is described and its operation
is explained. The set consists of d-c, a-c, and transient analysis
programs.
The d-c and a-c analysis programs provide the branch current
and node-to-reference potential for linear circuits....
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the factors which
influenced undergraduate students in the School of Education at Oregon
State University to select vocational teacher education as their
major. Data were collected from 315 vocational, practical arts, and
non-vocational undergraduate teacher education majors who were
enrolled in teacher...
There is strong interest in the energy community to develop technologies that can diffuse low-cost, renewably generated electricity into difficult and slow to decarbonize sectors. One of the emerging areas of interest is renewable natural gas (RNG). RNG has low or no associated net greenhouse gas emissions and can be...
Having a series of excellent properties, the oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels provide promising solutions for the challenges of structural materials in nuclear energy, especially the development of future advanced nuclear fission and even fusion reactors. The current manufacturing route for ODS alloys includes mechanical alloying (MA) of master alloys or...
The objectives of this research is to advance human health by evaluating interventions to minimize the detrimental effects of acute whole body gamma irradiation on bone metabolism, bone architecture and bone reconstruction using a mouse model. Total body irradiation (TBI) followed by adoptive transfer of bone marrow from donor animals...
Active transmission lines, a generalization of classical transmission
lines, are useful electrical devices. They can be utilized to
realize distributed amplifiers and to obtain other electrical characteristics unattainable with passive lines. Active lines have historical
significance and model many physical processes including heat
conduction in an internally heated material, a...
The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...
