There is some debate over the effect of using deeply nested control structures upon programmer comprehension. In order to test the effect of deeply nested IF-THEN-ELSE statements, we split 148 computer science students of varing backgrounds into two groups. One group received a listing of a program that made excessive...
Program understanding is a very important part of the testing and maintenance phases of the programming projects. The overall program knowledge, understanding the various parts of the program, and how they communicate are key steps in understanding the program. Hence data communication among modules contributes much to program complexity and...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' field. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with equipment ranging from precision plot sprayers to quart...
In the interest of taking full advantage of a personal business trip to Frankfurt, West Germany to attend the 17th International Symposium for Grape Propagation, I offered to make contacts for the Wine Advisory Board. I was asked to focus and report on five topics of research interest to OSU...
A survey of costs of various techniques to control bird damages to grapes will be conducted this fall by Oregon State University in a project funded by the Oregon Wine Advisory Board. Costs of equipment, materials, labor, maintenance and interest on loans will be compiled for a variety of control...
The WAB granted me a travel grant of $500 to spend two weeks visiting Helmut Becker at Geisenheim, Germany; Norbert Becker in Freiburg, Germany; Pierre Huglin and Christophe Schneider at Colmar, France; Raymond Bernard and Pierre Dupuy in Dijon, France; and Alain Carbonneau at Bordeaux, France. A full and quite...
Oregon State University researchers are expanding their study of mineral nutrition in winegrapes as part of a project sponsored by the Wine Advisory Board. Further research is justified because of increasing grower interest in nutritional factors that affect production and quality. Winegrape growers utilize Oregon State University's Plant Analysis Laboratory...
In 1984, Oregon State University's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics was again asked to make a winegrape acreage survey in Oregon. Winegrape acreage is currently increasing dramatically and the Wine Advisory Board is interested in keeping track of these changes. In 1981 and 1982, the Department made surveys of...
This document contains a summary of changes in administrations and actions taken by the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission in 1984, as well as an update for the status of various fisheries.
