During the interstate expansion of the 1950s, many conventionally reinforced concrete
deck girder bridges were built throughout the country. These now vintage bridges
commonly exhibit diagonal cracking and rate inadequately for shear, thus they are
candidates for shear strengthening to extend their useful life. Near-surface mounted
(NSM) retrofitting is a...
The Blanco Trough, a deep depression located in the Blanco Fracture Zone near the intersection with the Juan de Fuca Ridge, contains unusual manganese-enriched layered sediments. Due to the Blanco Trough's bathymetric isolation and confinement, and its location in a tectonically active zone, three hypotheses concerning the origin and cause...
Understanding of gene flow, connectivity, and diversity is critical to predict the stability of key marine species. The Oregon coast of the U.S.A. shows fine-scale levels of geographic variation in environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, prompting questions about the potential for local adaptation. In this thesis,...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
Transition metal and rare earth element (REE) data are presented
for various sedimentary materials from two Manganese Nodule
Program (MANOP) sites in the eastern tropical Pacific. These data
constrain the sources of elemental supply to the seafloor and the
processes that control ferromanganese nodule genesis. Investigation
of elemental partitioning between...
The relationship between population and residential property taxes
is not well understood. This study is an attempt to discern the relationship.
The basic questions examined are: How does population affect tax
bills? What are the short-run and long-run relationships between population and taxes? What reasons lie behind the answers to...
The potential for Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus)
to host exotic chewing lice (Damalinia (Cervicola) sp.) believed to cause deer hair
loss syndrome in Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus),
was investigated in captive deer held in pens at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Corvallis,
Oregon from March 2004...

Purposes of the Study: 1. To design an instrument for classification of
teacher-child verbal interaction formulating classroom
cognitive patterns of communication.
2. To use the designed instrument in a classroom
outside the pilot program to formulate an apparent
teacher-child cognitive pattern of communication. Securing and Treating the Data:
Information basic...
