This was an experimental study designed to compare the effectiveness
of computer-assisted laboratory instruction to teacher-assisted
laboratory instruction based on student achievement in Elementary
Business Statistics. Computer-assisted laboratory materials and an
Elementary Business Statistics achievement test were evaluated.
Procedures
The setting of this experiment was at Southern Oregon State
College,...
This book is an environmental primer for the people of the Willamette Valley. It sets forth basic principles showing how men's actions cause future consequences in the environment.
Factors that influenced the uptake, storage, and elimination of dietary quinoline by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied to obtain an understanding of the mechanisms affecting the bioaccumulation of dietary contaminants in teleosts. Rainbow trout readily absorbed ¹⁴C-quinoline from pelleted food (1% ration at 138 ug quinoline/g food) and most...
Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...
Coastal marsh vegetation is an important component in maintaining marsh stability that is threatened by changes in sedimentation, sea level rise, natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and competition from invasive species. Vegetation has been demonstrated to reduce wave energy, increase sedimentation, and decrease erosion in tidal environments under a range of...
The purposes of this study were to: 1) determine in what ways incorporating active engagement into a traditional lecture chemistry course contributed to students' science identity and their motivation to learn the science, and 2) determine how the development of a science identity could be measured through the use of...
This thesis explores the potential applications for 3rd generation activity theory in writing studio spaces, using the Undergrad Research and Writing Studio at Oregon State University as a focal point. David R. Russell, Nedra Reynolds, and Deborah Brandt have all investigated systemic and communal elements in student writing processes, while...
Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

The prototypal poxvirus vaccinia is a cytoplasmic-replicating DNA
virus which contains a large genome with the capacity to encode 200
polypeptides. Tight temporal regulation coordinates the expression of
this large number of genes throughout a relatively short replication
cycle. As a first step towards identifying and understanding the
regulatory mechanisms...
