Global interest in reducing carbon emissions by use of alternative energy sources makes nuclear energy production and the impacts of the nuclear energy cycle relevant. Studying the aqueous speciation of tetravalent metals commonly used for nuclear energy (uranium, thorium, plutonium) can inform us of general metal properties and their behavior...
Confidentiality as a group norm and how it affected self-disclosures
in personal growth groups were compared between control and
treated groups. The sample consisted of 53 students enrolled in a
graduate level group counseling course. The students were randomly
assigned to six groups: three control and three experimental groups.
Each...
In situ reduction of hydrido-tris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato(trioxo) rhenium(V) with triphenylphosphine or triethylphosphite leads to a reactive rhenium(V) species that catalytically deoxygenates epoxides at 75-105°C. The reaction is stereospecific, except for trans- and cis-butene oxide which formed minor amounts of the opposite isomer. A variety of different functional groups were tolerated and even...
The motion of floating objects are of importance to engineers and scientists in a
range of applications. For example, in the design of ships and wave energy convertors
and the study of debris mobilized by tsunamis. Measuring the movement of floating
objects in the laboratory can be challenging. Six degrees...
Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

Cash commodity sales from Oregon farms and
ranches were an estimated $2.7 billion in 1992.
Total cash receipts in Oregon’s agricultural sector have shown
steady increases over the pastdecade—sales have climbed about
50 percent over the past 10 years.

Climate variability and change are considerably important for a wide range of human activities and natural ecosystems. Climate science has made major advances during the last two decades, yet climate information is neither routinely useful for nor used in planning. What is needed is a mechanism, a national climate service...
