Evaluation of cold in-place recycling of asphalt conrete pavements in Oregon

Creator:: Scholz, Todd
Abstract:: Significant use of cold in-place recycling (CIR) has occurred in Oregon since 1984 as an alternative to other rehabilitation techniques or to the reconstruction of distressed asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. Due to the initial success of the projects cold recycled during 1984-85, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oregon...

Whale Cove (35LNC60) : an archaeological investigation on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Rogers, Ann Bennett
Abstract:: The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously mentioned archeologically defined...

Succession and stability in two rocky intertidal communities on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Farrell, Terence M.
Abstract:: The stability of a limpet-dominated community was assessed in a experiment in which an consumer was temporarily removed. Compared to unmanipulated plots, the limpet-exclusion plots developed greater algal abundance and altered species composition of both algae and barnacles. The community was not perturbed beyond its capacity to recover, since the...

Developing models to predict favorable environments for rice blast

Creator:: Calvero, Silvino B.
Abstract:: Statistical analyses were used to develop predictive models of rice blast and to relate the favorability of environment to disease incidence and severity on different rice cultivars at five sites in Asia. The WINDOW PANE program was used to search for weather factors highly correlated with blast. Stepwise and r-square...

Contributions of family size, birth order, socioeconomic status, and parent-child relationships to young children's intellectual development

Creator:: Liang, Shu
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of family size, birth order, socioeconomic status, and parent-child relationships to young children's intellectual development. Seventy-four children, 39 boys and 35 girls, with a mean age of 4 years-8 months, and their parents (mothers and fathers), selected from 9 preschool...

Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

Creator:: Guo, Zhiqiang
Abstract:: Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

Effects of sampling design, estimators, and variability on groundfish management in Oregon

Creator:: Crone, Paul R. Jr
Abstract:: Sampling error associated with estimates of species composition and age composition of commercial groundfish landings in Oregon from 1989 to 1991 is documented to evaluate the impact of variable landing data on fisheries management and monitoring programs. The statistical reliability and bias associated with two multistage sampling designs are investigated...

Parental care of peregrine falcons in interior Alaska and the effects of low-altitude jet overflights

Creator:: Palmer, Angela G.
Abstract:: To assess the impact of low-altitude jet overflights on parental care, we examined nest attendance, time-activity budgets, and provisioning rates of 21 Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) pairs breeding along the Tanana River, Alaska in 1995 and 1996. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors influenced attributes of nesting behavior. Female nest attendance...

Individual and demographic responses of the gray-tailed Vole (Microtus canicaudus) to an endocrine disruptor

Creator:: Caslin, Tracie M.
Abstract:: In an experimental field study, populations of gray-tailed voles (Microtus canicaudus) were exposed to a commercial formulation of vinclozolin, a fungicide effective for disease control on ornamental plants, turf grasses, and fruits and vegetables. Vinclozolin has been shown in laboratory experiments to behave as an androgen antagonist, impairing the reproductive...

Biodiversity : illustrations of some concepts, causes, and consequences

Creator:: Russell, Roland B.
Abstract:: Careful analysis and thoughtful synthesis will be necessary for expanding the envelope of ecological understanding. This work is my attempt at communicating both of these, in relation to three questions about our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological diversity. These questions focus on a) advancing our understanding of...
