  • History of Social Dancing at Oregon State University

    Creator:
    Weymann, Davis
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a brief history of social dance at Oregon State University (OSU) and discusses its key elements and context. Social dance has been part of campus life at OSU since the university was founded. Initially, dance was a social activity and means to interact with others, but as...

  • Properties of hydrogels for immobilization of bacteria in a commercial microfluidic dioreactor

    Creator:
    Weymann, Davis
    Abstract:
    Current technological shortcomings limit the economic viability of capturing and utilizing small sources of methane. The development of a reactor to overcome these limitations would unlock economic opportunity and incentivize reduced methane emissions. A microfluidic bioreactor containing immobilized methanotrophs has the potential to overcome these limitations by profitably converting small...

  • Approximation of continuous functions by Everett Splines

    Creator:
    Reedy, Catherine Anne
    Abstract:
    The approximation of a continuous function, in the maximum norm, by continuous splines in the Everett Interpolation Form is considered. The topics of characterization, uniqueness, and calculation of best approximations are investigated. Since uniqueness fails, a new vector-valued norm, which yields uniqueness, is introduced.

  • A block method approach to solving the Laplace equation on a parallel computer

    Creator:
    Hitchcock, Paula Ann
    Abstract:
    This paper continues exploration in the area of programming for parallel computers. The appendix to the paper contains an extensive survey of the literature related to parallel computers and parallel programming techniques. The paper itself presents a new approach to solving the Laplace equation on a. parallel computer. A new...

  • Geoarchaeological research within five river miles of the Upper Klamath River Canyon : use of pedogenic properties to calculate alluvial terrace age

    Creator:
    Hescock, Sara
    Abstract:
    Soil is a valuable medium when investigating the past-- from understanding rates of development, landform evolution, to the construction of various predictive models. Landforms and sediments provide insight into depositional environments and soil morphology indicates pedogenic change within those landforms. The rate at which pedogenesis occurs has been quantitatively measured...

  • Late Pleistocene Lithic Technological Organization on the Southern Oregon Coast : Investigations at Indian Sands (35-CU-67C)

    Creator:
    Willis, Samuel C.
    Abstract:
    Excavations conducted at Indian Sands (35-CU-67C), located along Oregon's southern coast, during 2002 and 2003 identified two discreet, artifact-bearing stratigraphic units. The uppermost unit is a deflated surface containing burnt shell and lithic artifacts associated with early Holocene ¹⁴C dates, while the underlying unit contained only lithic tools and debitage,...

  • An experimental/analytical investigation of deep submerged multiple buoyant jets

    Creator:
    Kannberg, Landis Dee
    Abstract:
    The results of an experimental and analytical study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are presented. The experimental results include the measured downstream thermal dilution, width, and centerline trajectory of the buoyant thermal plume from multiport jets. Independent parameters for which measurements were obtained include port spacing, discharge Froude Number,...

  • Transient heat and mass transfer in soils in the vicinity of heated porous pipes

    Creator:
    Slegel, David L.
    Abstract:
    Differential equations governing the combined heat and mass transfer in soils are developed. Transient heat, liquid and vapor transfer with phase change is considered. The liquid transfer is treated as a function of the hydraulic conductivity and the gradient of suction potential. The suction potential is considered a function of...

    Creator:
    Cheng, Yu-Chi
    Abstract:
    Counterfeits, unauthorized copies of a product presented for sale as if they were the legitimate manufacturer's product, are creating a sizeable and growing problem for the apparel and accessory industries (Olsen & Granzin, 1993). The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between consumers' likelihood of knowingly purchasing...

    Hsu, Hsiu-Ju
    Abstract:
    According to Blackwell, Miniard, and Engel (2001), "[c]ulture has a profound effect on why and how people buy and consume products and services" (p. 320). In the present study, Hofstede's classifications of national culture are used as a framework to examine the relationships among long-term orientation national culture (Taiwan and...
