The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the use of weights in least squares regression volume table construction and thereby to determine the importance of the assumption of homogeniety of tree volume variance. Several weighted and unweighted linear regression equations were investigated using data from 340 Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii...
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Oregon State University undergraduate elementary education program. More specifically, the investigation sought answers to the following questions:
1. What are the graduates' judgments of pertinent areas of the
elementary teacher education program?
2. To what extent does...
Three realms of deposition, Marine, Fluviatile, and Marine-
Fluviatile, are recognized in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, on the basis of
sediment texture and mineralogy. The Marine Realm extends 1.5
miles into the entrance of the estuary and is typified by normal
marine salinity and vigorous tidal action. Sediments of this realm...
The momentum transfer characteristics of liquid-liquid dispersions
were studied under conditions of turbulent flow in a cirular
conduit. Experiments were conducted to obtain drop size, friction
factors and velocity profiles for three organic phases dispersed in
water.
The test sections consisted of straight copper tubes 1-inch OD
and 0.830-inch ID....

"Crested wheatgrass, beardless wheatgrass, and big bluegrass were
seeded as overstory grasses. Streambank wheatgrass, canby bluegrass,
bulbous bluegrass, and Ladak alfalfa were seeded as companion species.
Pure and mixed stands were seeded on sagebrush-bunchgrass
range in eastern Oregon to compare yield and competitiveness. The
grasses were planted in 1956, 1957,...
Plantation failures on abandoned pasture lands and old clearcuts are associated frequently with heavy stands of herbaceous vegetation. The competitive influence of the vegetation has been described as the causative factor of mortality, but quantitative estimates of vegetation influence are lacking. The development of chemicals with promise for selectivity in...
Studies were conducted to determine the influence of formulation and molecular configuration of some chlorinated-phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acid herbicides on their absorption, translocation and metabolism in bigleaf maple, Acer macrophyllum, Pursh. Five to eight year old bigleaf maple seedlings were treated with one percent solutions of carbon 14-labeled herbicids. After three days...
In 1957 three Douglas-fir stands (15-, 25-, and 40-year-old age classes) were selected on a tree farm in the Cascade foothills of
northwestern Oregon to study factors affecting site productivity. Soil-moisture, soil-temperature and seasonal radial- growth pattern measurements were made with a Colman moisture meter and a dial gauge dendrometer...
The subject of this study was the determination of the changes
in photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration in two ecotypes of
Douglas-fir as caused by decreasing soil moisture content. The photosynthetic
rate was also correlated with the relative turgidities of
needles.
All the above processes were greatly affected by decreasing
soil...
This study was undertaken to determine the
effects of different chilling treatments during the dormant
season upon growth of Douglas-fir seedlings0 In
addition it was planned to determine whether seedlings
native to various geographic areas differ in their chilling
requirements0
The hypotheses were advanced, based on previous
studies, that chilling...
Forest crop improvement through the application of genetic principles
has been recognized as an important factor in forest management.
The use of hybridization and selective breeding in forest tree
improvement points to the urgency of maintaining "pollen banks" of
superior trees.
The objective of this study was to determine the...
The main objective of this investigation was to evaluate relationships
between the production and utilization of forage and deer
browsing of hand-planted Douglas-fir seedlings. A secondary purpose
was to study some effects of selected physical and biological
site factors on the survival and growth of fir seedlings.
Field work was...
Tiller Reservoir
In an average year the reservoir is capable of holding
water temperatures in South Umpqua River below 70° F.
for a wide range of regulation schedules. In a year of
maximum temperature, it will also hold temperatures
below 700 F. but flexibility of operation will be restricted.
Regulations...

This report covers the first full year of operation of our gammaray
spectrometry facility. A part of the contract period was devoted
to calibration of the instrument, and therefore, a brief report on this
procedure is included.
Correlation was sought between abundance of mycorrhizae on
Douglas-fir seedlings and their survival in field plantations.
One possible indication of dormancy desirable for lifting from
nursery beds could be the varying seasonal abundance of ectotrophic
mycorrhizae on roots of seedlings. No direct correlation between percentage
of mycorrhizae and survival in...
The effect of lifting Douglas-fir seedlings from the nursery bed
and replanting them, either immediately or after storage at 2 C for
periods up to six weeks, was investigated through a series of experiments
conducted in controlled-environment chambers and under field
conditions. Seedlings lifted prior to December, or after buds...
