A reduced-order dynamic model is derived that captures the primary dynamics of a jet-in-crossflow. This is significant progress toward the end goal of reduced order model based closed-loop flow control. The reduced order model is a set of differential equations obtained through the use of snapshot based Proper Orthogonal Decomposition...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
These essays are an attempt to rebuild memories that explore the nature of work and family. They explore how work knocks against the joints of the body and against the joints between family members, and, as time passes, how the next generation inherits the family line of work only to...
'Marion' and 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry volatiles were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FED) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on total percentage of FID area 'Thornless Evergreen' contains significantly more alcohols, hydrocarbons, and phenols than the 'Marion'; 'Marion' contains more acids and esters. Both cultivars contained comparable amounts of...
The objective of this project was, "To establish, in Oregon, a coastwide red abalone sport fishery and a limited commercial fishery as stocks dictate." Starting in 1967, abalone were planted at Whale Cove in Lincoln County, and were later planted at the Rogue River Reef in the Gold Beach area...
Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...
In 1968, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic River Act
creating a system of rivers protected from dams and other
development. By 1987, segments of four Oregon rivers were
protected by the Wild and Scenic River System: the Rogue,
Illinois, Owyhee, and a portion of the Snake along the
Idaho...
There were two viable theories of generation, preformation
and epigenesis, existing in the Seventeenth and
Eighteenth Centuries. Due to their irreconcilable nature,
they were often at loggerheads during this time interval.
The status of these generation theories can be effectively
understood in terms of Thomas Kuhn's conception of preparadigm
science....
