During the 2005 Spring Term, OSU participated in the 2005 Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE). The project was administered by the Division of Student Affairs with the support of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and International Programs.
The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement was designed to obtain information...
AIM: Landscape management and conservation planning require maps of vegetation
composition and structure over large regions. Species distribution models
(SDMs) are often used for individual species, but projects mapping multiple species
are rarer. We compare maps of plant community composition assembled by
stacking results from many SDMs with multivariate maps...
We present discrete energy decay results for the Yee scheme applied to Maxwell's equations in Debye and Lorentz dispersive media. These estimates provide stability conditions for the Yee scheme in the corresponding media. In particular, we show that the stability conditions are the same as those for the Yee scheme...
An Oregon State University Libraries (OSUL) study group's review of its current policies, practices, and costs provides an illustrative case study of the challenges in managing government documents during this period of transition from print to digital. In its exploration of more aggressive approaches to greatly increasing access to electronic...

Lake water quality is affected by local and regional drivers, including lake physical characteristics, hydrology, landscape position, land cover, land use, geology, and climate. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hypothesis testing within the landscape limnology framework using a random forest algorithm on a national-scale, spatially explicit data set, the...
