The objective of this study was to determine interrelationships among agronomic traits in early and late maturing populations. Two populations were obtained from the crosses, Roussalka/Tesopaco 76 and Yamhill/Aspen. Seeds were space planted with split plot design and nine agronomic traits were observed. In comparative studies between early and late...
This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge required
by graduating manufacturing engineering students in various
manufacturing engineering competency areas as perceived by managers
of manufacturing from 17 major manufacturing industrial classifications
in the state of Oregon.
Methods and Procedures
A preliminary listing of competency areas was developed...
The optical Bloch equations for a two-level atom in a laser
beam with an amplitude of arbitrary time dependence are derived in
the rotating wave approximation. The light scattered by the atom
is investigated for the special case of an intense, resonant laser
beam with a sinusoidally modulated amplitude. The...
The proteolytic enzymes in the muscle fluid of Pacific whiting
(Merluccius productus) were studied and compared to those found in muscle
fluid of true cod (Gadus macrocephalus). Preliminary studies indicated
three pH optima of activity for whiting, pH 3.5-3.9, 4.3-4.6 and 7.1-7.2.
Only two pH optima were found for the...
Interspecific hybridizations between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius
and between P. vulgaris and P. lunatus were investigated. Prefertilization
events were similar in inter- and intra-specific crosses. Fertilization
was completed in all crosses and the time of fertilization was
dependent on the maternal parent, reflecting differences in the time of
maturation...
Breeding ecology of long-billed curlews in Umatilla and Morrow Counties, Oregon, was studied during the spring and summer of 1978
and 1979. The first curlews were observed in the study areas on 16 and 19 March of 1978 and 1979, respectively. Earliest clutch completion and onset of incubation was on...
