Merk's series solution to the momentum equation for steady
two-dimensional or axisymmetrical constant-property laminar
boundary layer flow was examined. Solutions were obtained to the
differential equations associated with the second term in the series.
Calculations using this series were made, and it was found to be unsatisfactory
because the second...

emotions and coping would change during stages of an examination.
If changes in emotions and coping were recorded at different phases of
an examination, then these findings would substantiate the position that
stress and coping are processes. In addition, the...
The effects of planting date on mineral element
concentration in sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Jubilee) at six
developmental stages and on yield were investigated.
Planting dates were chosen to correspond to early,
mid-season, and late commercial plantings. Two nitrogen
rates were applied since nitrogen is more often limiting...
Visitor behavior research has become an essential
component to many museum programs. Since its opening to the
public in 1965, Oregon State University's Mark O. Hatfield
Marine Science Center Aquarium in Newport, it has been
visited by millions of people. A clear understanding of who
this audience was and what...
This essay examines the low-income weatherization program in rural Oregon, shedding light on difficulties in increasing weatherization services to low-income rural households. This essay also identifies policy limitations. There are strict rules in place for utilizing Department of Energy weatherization funding and some of these rules
are likely to make...
This thesis examines a range of generic influences in William Shakespeare's Richard II. By exploring the play's references to conflicting interpretations of history from different generic perspectives, I hope to advance a more nuanced reading of the play's dynamic staging of history. In Chapter One, I suggest that Richard II...
