The purpose of this book is to
provide you with a bit more information about the organisms maintained at the ASLC so that you
may deepen your understanding and appreciation of them.
However, as a prelude to the more species-specific information contained in this document, there
are three short chapters...

Despite extensive research on the historical and technical aspects of national space policy, little has attempted to understand the links between technological evolution in NASA’s spaceflight program in relation to its administrative, political and economic context. This essay explores these connections in the development and evolution of core systems in...
Corporate universities (CUs) have been in existence in the United States since the early 1900s. They are increasingly providing educational and developmental opportunities for workers; however, there is little empirical research on these types of organizations. This study examined a specific electrical distributor's CU using a theoretical framework as a...
A case study of the Eugene Water and Electric Board's planning
for the Minto Hydroelectric is examined in terms of social movement
theory. It is hypothesized that public works projects have a significant
likeness to a social movement and they conform in their
essential ingredients to social movement explanations. The...
Little data exists to document the nature of sound generated by vibratory pile driving and the response salmon to that sound. The construction of a new pier at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in 1996 offered the opportunity to monitor the sound. The findings were then related to...
A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...
The Curiosity rover has analyzed various detrital sedimentary rocks at Gale Crater, among which fluvial and lacustrine rocks are predominant. Conglomerates correspond both to the coarsest sediments analyzed and the least modified by chemical alteration, enabling us to link their chemistry to that of source rocks on the Gale Crater...
Shape transformation is a technique for gradually changing one geometric shape to another. A recent approach presents the use of thin-plate radial basis functions as opposed to traditional "blobby sphere" implicit functions. Without the explicit evaluation of he energy function, this approach combined the two traditional steps into one by...
The first project of this thesis is an in vitro study. This study was performed with 8 hydrocortisone topical products on the market for the purpose of comparing one Tec Lab product, a Corticool gel, to the other seven common products on the market. The permeation of these products was...
This proposal by the Coniferous Forest Biome investigators requests support
for the third and fourth years of a highly integrated series of investigations
within the Ecosystem Analysis program of the United States effort under the
International Biological Program. The program for the Coniferous Forest Biome
has been approved by the...
