Creator:: Rymon, Larry Maring
Abstract:: This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010. Prior to white settlement Oregon...

Abstract:: This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876. Special materials used in this research included three pieces of Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian Institution Division...

Creator:: Willis, David L.
Abstract:: The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation, and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity. More importantly, the...
