Despite the obvious importance of the Oregon big game resource
to Oregon citizens, economic data regarding the actual
magnitude of net and gross values have been lacking. Thus an
attempt has been made in this thesis to supply the missing information
by estimating the gross economic value and by formulating...

This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear
dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

An important segment of outdoor recreational activity in
eastern Oregon is based on the harvest of deer. The deer population
can be altered in two ways. Rangeland, which provides feed and
cover for deer, can be improved through public or private investments
or hunting regulations can be changed. This study...
The size of elk herds in Eastern Oregon has become a controversial
issue. Trade-offs exist between the numbers of elk and domestic

timber harvesting policies. Disputes arise from differing views as
to proper use of the natural...

This study examines the theme of power in Naguib Mahfouz's The Cairo Trilogy (1956/57). Contrasting my analysis with earlier review of the novel that emphasized a hegemonic patriarchal power, I argue that such power was constantly subverted by the dominated: family members of the patriarch. Using James C. Scott's notions...
This study provides an empirical test of the Bockstael-McConnell
(1980) household production function (HPF) framework for evaluating wildlife recreation. This is perhaps the first study in which
both taste and technology parameters have been estimated with a
theoretical model specification. The results suggest that for
steelhead sport fishing in Oregon,...
A series of trials was conducted with Polypay (P), Coopworth
(CP), Hampshire (H), and crossbred ewes over a two year period at three
locations to assess the effects of ewe body condition and pre-lambing
supplementation on ewe productivity. Supplementation trials were
conducted at all three locations in Year 1 using...
The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the interaction between cimetidine and dietary flavonoids using the Caco-2 cell transport model. It has been shown that flavonoids can change the bioavailability of pharmaceuticals, either by inhibiting metabolizing enzymes or inhibiting the drug efflux transporters. However, the effect of dietary flavonoids...
Domestic violence (DV) is a major social and public health issue in countries such as India and Pakistan where patriarchy is the way of life and cultural norms, and beliefs hold a greater say in community decision-making. Women in these countries are discriminated against from birth and face hurdles in...
