It begins by tracing the development of Shia clerical political activism under the...
The spatial and temporal variability of sediment transport processes in Oak Creek, OR was investigated and used to explore two study questions: 1) How do sediment transport processes influence benthic algal communities?, and 2) Can fluvial-hydraulic models make accurate predictions of bed load transport rates? Our study was conducted in...
These data set includes calibrated predictions of Depth, Velocity and Shear Stress for seven discharges (0.4 to 3.4m^3, equivalent to 0.12 Qbf to Qbf) at Oak Creek using the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphological Evolution of Channels (FaSTMECH).
This thesis examines the multi-faceted threat Iran poses to the stability of the Middle Eastern region, to U.S. geopolitical interests and to the furthering of democratic principles from a realist perspective. Iran’s failure to negotiate a nuclear accord in good faith coupled with its continued militant role in regional affairs...
The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...
This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...
For many years, psychologists have studied
the principles of psychophysics. Recently, cartographers
have been considering psychophysical theory in
color attribute analysis to aid in the design of maps.
An experiment was conducted using the partitioning
method by which the Munsell value scale was determined
to find (R,G,B) coordinates giving equally...
The main result of this written dissertation is a mathematical solution to the problem of multiplex recording for high performance tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The prescription is to use a time-lag accelerator in the second stage to match the ion optical properties of the decay fragments to the requirements of...
The overarching purpose of this study is to examine the communication implications of a
self-proclaimed consensual organization (IT) within a classical organizational
environment. The literature review of relevant theory and research covers both
hierarchical and consensual organizations viewed via the classical, human relations, and
system perspectives. The researcher compares organizational...
