The Oregon State University (OSU), Hydro Mechanical Fuel test Facility (HMFTF) is designed to hydro-mechanically test prototypical plate type fuel. OSU's fuel test program is a part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), formerly known as the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor program. One of the GTRI's...
This thesis will look at Paul Jensen while he was an education professor at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, Oregon, and his role in Alaska Native education while working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Dr. Jensen's work coincided with the last twenty-five years of Bureau of Indian Affairs...
Close reading has long been favored as an interpretative framework within those classrooms commonly united under the umbrella of English studies. This thesis explores the role of a particular brand of close reading—one often assessed through text-dependent questions—and critiques its centrality within assessment and curriculum materials for the AP Program...
This study attempted to develop a profile of values held by
Oregon's full-time professional staff members as a group. It also
tried to ascertain if there are differences in the values and perceptions
held by sub-groups within the community college staff.
The main questions to be answered were:
1. Are...
The problems involved in measuring noise on video signals are
described. A brief review of several methods that have been used for
video signal noise measurement is followed by a detailed explanation
of the comparison technique. This technique is based on the principle
that noise sources with different spectral content,...
The dynamics of land use in the State of Oregon are simulated
on a digital computer. The introductory chapter outlines the complex
nature of the problems facing the post-industrial society and argues
that the scientific and professional estates share in the responsibility
for public policy formulation. The second chapter .presents...
The problem of this thesis is to evaluate small tracts of public
domain land as to their best use in an area where the Bureau of Land
Management desires to terminate managerial responsibilities. The
area chosen is located in the Prineville District, Bureau of Land
Management and is within the...
A time dependent model of the shallow, tropical convective boundary layer is
developed and tested. To simplify the treatment of thermodynamic processes and
return to first principles of physics, conserved quantities of entropy and total
water density are used as primary model variables. In addition, a new shallow
cumulus parameterization...
