Electrical stimulation of beef carcasses (n=18) did not cause a
significant reduction in microbial population on three different sampling
positions immediately following slaughter. In constrast, significant
microbial reduction (P > 0.05) was found at position 2 (muscle
above aitch bone), but not at position 1 (inside of neck) or position...
The variability in morphologic, chemical, and physical soil
properties within the Willakenzie silty clay loam, 2 to 12 percent
slopes, map unit in Yamhill County, Oregon was measured.
The objectives of the study included (1) describing the frequency
distributions of individual soil properties, (2) measuring the
taxonomic composition of the...
Mycorrhizal fungi are important in food production of arid lands.
The desert truffles not only form a symbiotic association with range
plants but also form fruiting bodies which are both prized as food and
nutritious. The taxonomy and ecology of two genera of desert truffles
are treated in this thesis....
This research work investigates the use of production
systems as a model of parallel processing. The purpose of
the model is to provide a suitable medium within which parallel
processing systems can be systematically specified,
analyzed, and designed. Furthermore, the model provides a
suitable means for deriving implementations of synchronization...
The Murderers Creek Area, within the Aldrich Mountain province of
northeast Oregon, originated in an arc-trench gap during Permian-early
Triassic time. The area represents a small portion of a forearc
depositional basin and tectonic highland which borders the basin along
its seaward margin. The trench associated with an east dipping...
The procedure of forest level harvest scheduling
incorporates many inputs of an uncertain nature. Forest
management planners must be aware of the possible effects of
the use of erroneous input information on the results of
their planning. With that knowledge they can better plan a
risk management strategy and make...
During Early and Middle Devonian time, the main part of the Death Valley area was characterized by shallow marine shelf position. In the extreme western part, deposition took place in carbonate slope environments. Early and Middle Devonian eastern platform dolomites, represented by uppermost Hidden Valley Dolomite and lower Lost Burro...
