Advancements in neurological data capturing and mapping have provided scientists with exponentially more information, allowing for more detailed analysis of neurological behaviors and their translations to cognitive, emotional, and physical function. Inspired by the diffculty in diagnosing brain damage, this project seeks to leverage statistical modeling with EEG data to...
Ocean acidification (OA) is the result of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, leading to a suite of alterations to specific parameters of ocean chemistry, which can negatively impact many marine organisms and ecosystems. Understanding how to measure and monitor the chemistry of OA will require specialized education...
Modern geospatial data are frequently represented in some type of three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system, for example geodetic latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height (φ, λ, h) derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). But for engineering and surveying work, φ, λ, h coordinates are usually converted to a topocentric system consisting...
The applicability of electromyographic biofeedback toward alleviating
test taking anxiety was examined along with the effects of
relaxation training on general anxiety, locus of control, test performance,
and muscle tension during a test. The Achievement Anxiety
Test (AAT) was administered to 271 freshman psychology students.
Students whose scores indicated high...
A review of observational coding systems indicated the need for an
instrument which is easy to learn and implement in applied settings,
and which can be applied to diverse populations of disturbed children.
A two phase study was conducted to evaluate the reliability and validity
of observational ratings derived from...
The relationships between avian community structure and herbicide
modification of vegetation were analyzed on early-growth clearcuts in
western Oregon that had received phenoxy herbicide treatment 1 or
4 years previously. Only minor effects of herbicide treatment were
evident 1-year after spraying, except for red adler (Alnus rubra),
which still exhibited...
Meadowfoam has been identified as a potential oilseed crop for
production on poorly drained soils in areas with cool, moist winters.
The effects of N fertilizer on meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.)
have been studied in Oregon and Maryland, but the results have not
been consistent with respect to the effects...
When considering acreage and the number of cadasters
certain land use functions in the Merlin Irrigation District dominate.
The majority of the cadasters in the district are ten acres or less.
Approximately twice an many land owners in the district were willing
to purchase water than those who were not....
The Penman relationship for potential evaporation is modified to simply include the influence of atmospheric stability on turbulent transport of water vapor. Explicit expressions for the stability-dependent, surface exchange coefficient developed by Louis are used. The diurnal variation of potential evaporation is computed for the stability-dependent and original Penman relationships...
