This research is an exploration of empathy in the classroom from the standpoint of how instructors experience it and understand themselves to communicate it to their students, particularly students from different cultural backgrounds. The research method used was ethnographic analysis of a classroom observation and a one-hour semi-structured interview with...
In 1968, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic River Act
creating a system of rivers protected from dams and other
development. By 1987, segments of four Oregon rivers were
protected by the Wild and Scenic River System: the Rogue,
Illinois, Owyhee, and a portion of the Snake along the
Idaho...
From the Dennis Barstow Photographs (P 280) in the OSU Archives. The Dennis Barstow Photographs consist of color slides taken by Barstow of oceanographic research conducted on Oregon State University research vessels. Dennis Barstow joined the Oregon State University Oceanography Department in 1962 as a research assistant. He served as...
Coastal marsh vegetation is an important component in maintaining marsh stability that is threatened by changes in sedimentation, sea level rise, natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and competition from invasive species. Vegetation has been demonstrated to reduce wave energy, increase sedimentation, and decrease erosion in tidal environments under a range of...
Establishment of a non-native plant species in new habitats beyond their native range is associated with inherent changes in ecosystem properties. These changes may be dramatic or subdued, and consequences may be positive or negative depending on characteristics and response of the resident ecosystem. Non-native aquatic plant species in the...
As part of the SuperCODE and CODE projects, two hydrographic cruises were conducted off Oregon and California in January and April 1984. CTD sections across the continental shelf and slope were made near Coos Bay at 43°13'N, off Crescent City at 41°54%, off Eureka at 40°51%, along the Arena and...
Local adaptation in plants may hold the key to understanding the level of resilience of an ecosystem and probability of persistence of a species in the face of rapid anthropogenic changes in climate and disturbance regime. Clonal species are especially important in wetlands, one of our most productive and vulnerable...
Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts
Intensive observations were made of play behavior in the
young hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) from 14 to 54 days of age.
Behavior was recorded using movie film and a multi-channel event
recorder.
Play was first seen at 14 days of age. The amount of play
increased rapidly thereafter, remaining relatively high...
Several laboratories have shown that the VV
replication cycle is dependent on the host cell nucleus.
The basic biological observation is that if the host cell
nucleus is physically removed by cytochalasin B-mediated
enucleation, functionally inactivated by UV-irradiation, or
selectively blocked with a-amanitin, the results are the
same: W is...
