An examination was made of some reactions involving a transfer
of carbon from boron to carbon. In the case of the reaction of
a C[subscript n] alkylorganoborane with dichlorocarbene the intermediate was
a C[subscript n]₊₁ chloroalkylorganoborane. Oxidation of this intermediate
yielded an homologous acid (33%) and the usual alcohol (66%)....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a contextual model for integrating lessons
from the LifeKnowledge curriculum into the agricultural science and technology (AST) course content. This was measured using the National FFA Organization’s online precept indicator which is part of the LifeKnowledge 3.0 curriculum. Ninth grade students at...

During the summer of 1967 a fertilizer survey was conducted
to determine the nutrient status of peppermint fields, the nutrient
concentration of plant tissue and the oil content of peppermint in
Oregon.
Plant and soil samples and the field's fertilizer history
were collected from cooperators in
Oregon's peppermint growing
areas...
Genetic stability of micropropagated and cold-stored Fragaria x anannasa cultivar
'Pocahontas' was evaluated by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay.
Plantlets grown for eight months on M & S medium with 5 μM and 15 μM N6-
benzyladenine (BA) were analyzed. No evidence of mutations was seen in over 200...
The idea for this research projected stemmed from research I conducted during my Economics 439: Public Policy course. This research project examines the idea of Voter Identification Laws and Regulations and their effect on voter turnout and participation in the United States of America. I previously found that economists studied...
Homosexual men in Nazi Germany experienced legal and social oppression that was rooted in both the cultural homophobia of Twentieth Century Germany and the existential homophobia of high-ranking Nazi officials.

In this thesis, in order to understand why Buddhists in Southeast Asia protect rainforests and to establish a solid foundation for Buddhist environmental ethic, my first two tasks are to draw a clear picture regarding two major environmental concepts--nature and anthropocentrism--in Buddhism and to defend the claims that the Buddhist...
This thesis analyzes the emerging technology of hydraulic fracturing and shale gas extraction process through a pluralistic philosophical approach. Rather than defending traditional values in nature, such as intrinsic value, I defend a metaphilosophical pragmatism centered on policy implications. I argue that different philosophical positions will, most of the time,...
The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/
evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern
California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions through
which it burned provided an opportunity to analyze the correlates of burn severity
across vegetation types...
