Crown gall infected and healthy Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.)
Persoon plants were analyzed for soluble amino acids. Specifically
the amino acids in young leaf, mature leaf, stem, root, and gall
tissues were quantitatively measured. The plants were inoculated
with the bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Townsend)
Conn., on one side of...
This study reports finding of two rootstock experiments planted in 1997. The purpose of the first experiment was to evaluate the performance of Pinot noir on 19 phylloxera-resistant rootstocks and as an ungrafted vine. The purpose of the second experiment was to evaluate the performance of V. Vinifera cultivars Pinot...
The purpose of this study was to locate and analyze experimental
studies of teacher training that tested elements of Bandura's
social learning theory. Bandura's theory emphasizes the role of
modeling in the acquisition of new modes of interpersonal behavior,
and it also provides for the integration of practice and feedback...
A study was made by comparing two manuals and determining their
effectiveness in teaching the principles of food sanitation to food service
workers at Oregon State University.
Sixty food service workers on the Oregon State University campus
were selected at random and divided into two groups of thirty each for...
Recently, the big sagebrush taxa has been split into subspecies
and forms. Four habitat types related to subspecies of big sagebrush
were studied in Eastern Oregon. Response of understory vegetation was
measured following three range improvement techniques implemented on
the four habitat types for several ages of treatment. Crown cover,...
A three dimensional finite element analysis is developed which
is capable of simulating the coupled static and dynamic behavior of
compliant ocean structures. Nonlinearities which result from large-deflection,
reduced or zero stiffness in compression, and the nonconservative
fluid loading are considered. The spatial variation of
fluid loading is also addressed....
The benthic microalgae of sediments of the two tidal flats in
Yaquina Bay, Oregon were investigated to determine the environmental
factors limiting the abundance and the horizontal and vertical distribution
of these organisms. The Southbeach tidal flat which is under the
marine realm of deposition consists of fine to medium...
Rural areas tied to natural resource-based economic activity are encountering
difficulties in preparing for economic growth and development.
An important problem facing local officials of such an area, Union County,
Oregon, is the identification of county characteristics that may induce
the expansion of local businesses and location of new plants....
