An experimental analysis of two methods of college instruction

Creator:: Foote, Thomas Herbert
Abstract:: This study was an empirical investigation of two methods of college classroom teaching--lecture and discussion. The design was both experimental and descriptive, differing from prior methodological comparisons in that a more sophisticated test statistic was used in the analysis of the data. Whereas most similar studies used t tests, or...

Genetic analysis of interactions between the plant hormones auxin and ethylene

Creator:: Barckley, Kristi K.
Abstract:: Auxin and ethylene regulate many important aspects of plant growth and development and are essential to the plants survival. They help regulate such diverse processes as cell elongation, growth of adventitious roots, fruit growth, germination, and a variety of other processes. Few studies have examined how the hormones auxin and...

Development of mullite-zirconia composite feedstocks for powder injection molding

Creator:: Martin, Renee A.
Abstract:: Mullite-zirconia composites have been slated for use in a novel miniature ceramic turbine engine components developed for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) engine applications. Economically feasible production of these complex components requires the use of a near-net shape process such as powder injection molding (PIM). This thesis explores the development and...

Simulated response of ecosystem processes to climate change in northern California and western Nevada

Creator:: McGlinchy, Maureen C.
Abstract:: In order to investigate potential climate impacts on landscape-scale ecosystem processes, I implemented a dynamic general vegetation model (DGVM) over a large domain in northern California and western Nevada on a rectangular grid of ca. 800-meter spatial resolution. I used 100 years of observed, monthly climate and nine future climate...

Profiling Zebrafish Developmental Responses to E-Cigarette Flavor Mixtures

Creator:: Holden, Laura, L.
Abstract:: Since 2007, electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) sales in the U.S. have surpassed those of tobacco cigarettes. This is due, in part, to manufacturer’s claims that they are a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes. However, formaldehyde, acrolein, and diacetyl have been detected in e-cigarettes and public knowledge of e-cigarette composition and potential...

Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:: Greaves, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

Short distance transportation in the mixed peat swamp forests of Sarawak, Malaysia

Creator:: Manikam, Doraisingam
Abstract:: The peat swamp forests of Sarawak are an important resource in the context of the socio-economic development of the state. Logging is the main activity in these forests. In the absence of an economical mechanized system, the method of harvesting has evolved into a highly organized effective manual system. Though...

A production study of the pendulum balloon logging system

Creator:: Ammeson, James E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to compare the estimated production of the pendulum swing logging system to the production of a conventional balloon logging system. Cycle Time is established for the conventional system by time study techniques. A combination approach is used to model the pendulum system. A computer...

A 3-D Tomographic Model of the P-wave Velocity Structure of the Central Cascadia Forearc

Creator:: Kenyon, Christopher Bradford
Abstract:: Signals from the R/V Langseth’s tuned airgun array were recorded on an array of 33 EarthScope FlexArray seismometers deployed in the Oregon Coast Range from 43.5° to 45°N as part of the 2012 Ridge2Trench experiment to image the structure of the Juan de Fuca plate. This segment of the Juan...

Profiles of Community Resources and their Influence on Self-Regulation at Preschool : A Focus on Children from Low-Income Families

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation skills lay the foundation for short- and long-term school success, and strengthening these skills in early childhood can have significant implications for immediate and future life outcomes (e.g., Blair & Diamond, 2008; McClelland, Acock, Piccinin, Rhea, & Stallings, 2013). A large body of literature has investigated how characteristics of...
