Studies were undertaken on the Steiwer, Hazelair, Hedden,
Dixonville, Knappa, Haines, Ladd, Wingville and Powder soil
series plus three additional unnamed soils from western Oregon,
in an effort to determine their molybdenum status and to evaluate
the use of the anion exchange resin method as a means of assaying
available...
Two separate investigations were carried out. The first experiment
on subterranean clover (Mr. Barker) was conducted in the field
and greenhouse on the Steiwer soil. The second experiment on alfalfa
(DuPuits) was conducted in the greenhouse on selected eastern Oregon
soils.
The purposes of the first experiment were to determine...
Sand dunes are found along the coasts of most of the large land
masses of the world. Because of their proximity to man and his
activities, the maritime sand dunes of Europe, particularly Germany,
France, Holland and Scandinavia, have the longest history of stabilization
activities and botanical investigation. There are...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to measure, by the analysis of
statistical and subjective data, the effects of work experience programs
on disadvantaged ninth grade students.
The study involved one major hypothesis: the introduction of
work experience, as part of the ninth grade curriculum, for...
A field study was conducted in the Willamette Valley near
Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the influence of seedling rate,
drill row spacing, grass association, and variety on the yield
of dry matter and quality (crude protein content and leafiness)
of alfalfa. Treatments included seeding rates of 7.5, 10, 15 and...
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
Disc gel electrophoresis of the vegatative cell -free extracts ofstrains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, C, E, and F and therelated nontoxic group showed limited value as a means for identifyingthese closely related microorganisms, since separation,though not consistent in all cases, could only be based on the numberof protein...
The purpose of this investigation was to purify and characterize
the autolytic enzyme from cell walls of Bacillus subtilis 168. The
crude enzyme was obtained by autolysis of purified cell walls in
buffer at 37° C. Two purification methods were developed. The first
involved fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The...
