The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics published their vision of active, problem-centered instruction with a goal of conceptual understanding in 1989. Fifteen years after these reforms were proposed the changes are reflected in school policy and elementary mathematics curriculum, but only limited change has actually occurred in classroom instruction....
A high temperature high vacuum rheometer has been designed, fabricated,
and tested for the study of the steady shear viscosity for multicomponent bulk
metallic glass forming alloys. This rheometer has an operating range up to
1525 K, rotational frequencies of 9.4*10⁻³-3.7*10¹ radians/s, and a
calibrated viscosity range of 9.6*10⁻³ and...
Experimental streams constructed by the Weyerhaeuser Company,
Tacoma, Washington, at Kalama Springs, Washington, were used to observe
successional changes in the benthos. Community changes were observed
relative to experimental manipulations of light intensity and nitrate
concentration in two experiments. The development of benthic assemblages
was followed for 150 days after...
Monoterpenes are important volatile compounds to the aroma of many white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and found in wine as different isomers. These isomers (also known as enantiomers) are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, maintain the same molecular structure and in many instances possess different sensory characteristics. Much...
The Oregon Multicultural Archives (OMA) investigation team from the Research and Innovative Services Department was charged with exploring the future directions of this program. Team members make recommendations about future actions including effective ways to engage internal and external stakeholders based on website and literature review findings.
Sixteenth century Elizabeth I of England has long been a figure of interest to Renaissance scholars, and their work largely focuses on how her gender impacted the power, politics, and culture of her day.

Aroma is one of the major components that determines the quality of wine and consumer acceptability. Fruitiness is a highly desirable aroma quality in white wines and has been well accepted by consumers across the globe. Tropical fruit aroma has been substantially studied in Sauvignon Blanc wines due to its...
