Interactions between the immune system, stress and thymulin

Creator:: Christian, Richard L., (Richard Leroy), 1971-
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine the effects of shipping stress on the immune system in domestic lambs (Ovis aries) and to determine the potential of the thymic peptide, thymulin, to reduce those effects of stress on the immune system. Treatments consisted of no shipping (as unstressed controls), shipping (as...

Life-history organization of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the northeast Pacific

Creator:: Aleaziz, Farzad
Abstract:: The distribution of herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) in the Northeast Pacific extends from southern California to northern Alaska. Studies on variation in herring life-history are limited to local characteristics and recruitment populations or relatively restricted regions of the Northeast Pacific. In this study I assessed herring life-history patterns and recruitment...

Comparison of underemployed and not underemployed women in two-parent two-child families : an eleven-state rural-urban study

Creator:: Masuo, Diane M., 1947-
Abstract:: This study compared wives defined as underemployed by educational mismatch with not underemployed wives on four major predictor variables-- relative market work advantage; degree of competition in the female labor market; time demands from family members; and assistance with childcare and other housework. The data were from NE 113, An...

Production of haploid plants in selected winter wheat genotypes through anther culture and intergeneric crosses with maize

Creator:: Mendoza, Maria Graciela
Abstract:: A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

Use of livestock to improve the quality of elk winter range forage in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Patrick Eugene
Abstract:: The effects of late spring defoliation on the winter forage quality of bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum [Pursh] Scribn. & Smith), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis Elmer) and elk sedge (Carex geyeri Boott) and the response of wintering Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni Bailey) to changes in winter range forage quality...

Effects of selected mathematical computer games on achievement and attitude toward mathematics in university entry-level algebra

Creator:: Moore, Margaret L.
Abstract:: Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics. EQUATIONS is...

Development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure for flexible pavements

Creator:: Zhou, Haiping
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure. The mechanistic analysis represents a new trend in both new pavement and overlay design. The greatest advantage of the mechanistic pavement analysis is that it considers the fundamental characteristics of materials to be used, is capable of considering changes...

Population ecology of the dusky Canada goose (Branata candensis occidentalis Baird)

Creator:: Sheaffer, Susan E.
Abstract:: Adult dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis Baird) were banded with plastic neck bands and observed on the winter range during 1985-92. Annual survival rates of adult geese estimated from observation data ranged from 76% to 85%. A model of Canada goose population dynamics was developed to illustrate relationships between...

Evaluation of alternate surfacing systems for temporary and intermittent use roads

Creator:: Takallou, Mojtaba B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to provide the USDA-Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other agencies or industries that may deal with temporary and intermittent use roads with the necessary background information for the identification, economic evaluation, and selection of the alternate surfacing systems and to determine...

An evaluation of alternative estimates of demand for and benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing

Creator:: Hsiao, Ching-kai
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...
