This report is an overview of my experience working with
the Consortium for International Fisheries and Aquaculture
Development (CIFAD), administered from an office within Oregon
State University, Corvallis, Oregon. CIFAD is a non-profit
organization comprised of five U.S. universities: the University
of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), University of Hawaii...
We generalize overpartition rank and crank generating functions to obtain k-fold variants, and give a combinatorial interpretation for each. The k-fold crank generating function is interpreted by extending the first and second residual cranks to a natural infinite family. The k-fold rank generating functions generate two families of buffered Frobenius...
Citizen science (formally public participation in science research) has emerged in recent years as an innovative and interactive tool for engaging many diverse groups in science and research. Defined as the collaboration of science professionals and the public in science research, citizen science has tremendously improved the reach of science....
Twelve high effective Rhizobium trifolii strains were evaluated at four locations in southwest Oregon for the ability to effectively nodulate Mount Barker subterranean clover. All twelve strains possessed antibiotic resistance markers to facilitate identification of strains when extracted from nodules. No significant differences in plant dry weight means could be...
O&E Magazine is published by Oregon State University Division of Outreach and Engagement to engage the people of Oregon in learning and discovery. In this inaugural issue of O&E magazine, we celebrate the centennial of OSU Extension and look forward to the next 100 years of outreach and engagement with...
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on identity and how it shapes visitor
experience in free-choice learning (FCL) environments. Inquiry into how visitor's sex
impacts identity and experience has yielded equivocal results. To date there has been no
research into how the psychosocial construct of gender and...
There is growing evidence that children develop science-related interests in early childhood, before they enter school, and that these interests may have long-term implications for science participation and achievement. Although researchers have made headway in describing interest development in the preschool years, little is currently known about the proximal processes...
