Research data has gained wider acceptance as important scholarly products in and of themselves, and funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), have introduced requirements for Data Management Plans (DMPs) and data archiving. Accordingly, academic and research libraries are devoting significant consideration, effort, and resources toward expanding their...
This Guidebook follows a holistic approach to adaptation planning called community-driven climate resilience planning. Community-driven climate resilience planning is “the process by which residents of vulnerable and impacted communities define for themselves the complex climate challenges they face, and the climate solutions most relevant to their unique assets and threats.”...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a
relationship between identity achievement and Christian religious
ideology in selected university students attending Oregon State
University.
The sample consisted of two hundred and forty-nine students
enrolled during the winter quarter 1978 in Psychology and Education
courses. The respondents...
The infrastructure of a destroyed saw mill is being re-engineered. One project involves installing a micro hydroelectric power station at the end of an existing pipeline. The hydraulic power available to the generator was estimated. Much construction and engineering work has gone into the design and partial build of this...
Despite being a highly charismatic and frequently exhibited organism,
Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) population dynamics
are poorly understood. Basic monitoring data for this species is
limited to bycatch and stomach contents of other fisheries species. An
essential step to a better estimation of population size and
productivity is to...
Practical bipedal robots need to be simultaneously efficient, robust, and versatile machines, but designing robots dynamically capable of these demands has been a significant bottleneck. We designed ATRIAS to be a highly dynamic biped capable of both walking and running untethered in real environments. To meet these goals, ATRIAS is...
Humans and rodents experience declines in reference (long-term) and working (short-term)
memory and cognitive flexibility during the aging process. Aging changes in GluN1 and
GluN2B subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors show a relationship to both
reference and working memory deficits. Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug, enhances working memory and NMDA receptor...

The solution of coupled neutronic/thermal hydraulic nuclear reactor calculations
requires the treatment of the nonlinear feedback induced by the thermal hydraulic
dependence of the neutron cross sections. As a result of these nonlinearities, current
solution techniques often diverge during the iteration process. These instabilities arise
due to the low level...
