The purpose of this thesis was to compare the 5-hour experimental
(CT 213X) and the two 3-hour existing (CT 210-CT 212) elementary
clothing construction courses at Oregon State University in
terms of the composition of students in each course, the student's
background and the achievement of each group in knowledge...
The main objectives of this study were to determine if the
manufacturer's claims for a soil-release-finished fabric were true
and to determine if the finished fabrics were satisfactory from the
consumers' point of view.
Differently colored (white, blue and yellow) blouses constructed
from soil-release-finished polyester knit fabrics and comparable
unfinished...
Rates of molting of a specific copepodite stage can be determined by sorting the stage from a new collection, waiting, then counting the number that have molted to the next stage in the interval. In principle, stage duration can be determined as the inverse of the measured rate, and molting...
The Clouds, Aerosol, and Precipitation in the Marine Boundary Layer (CAP-MBL) deployment at Graciosa Island in the Azores generated a 21-month (April 2009–December 2010) comprehensive dataset documenting clouds, aerosols, and precipitation using the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) Mobile Facility (AMF). The scientific aim of the deployment is to gain...
Recent studies hypothesize that some submarine slides fail via pressure-driven slow-slip deformation. To test this hypothesis, this study derives pore pressures in failed and adjacent unfailed deep marine sediments by integrating rock physics models, physical property measurements on recovered sediment core, and wireline logs. Two drill sites (U1394 and U1399)...
