The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the formal
preparation currently required and desired for teachers of lower-division collegiate courses in public community colleges in the western
United States and to make recommendations for the preparation of
such teachers in Oregon. The identification of the functions of institutions...
Solid solution alloying was employed in an attempt to produce some
relatively ductile form of beryllium. If the c/a ratio could be significantly
altered, it was felt new or different slip systems could be activated. The
following elements were selected on the basis of atomic size, melting point,
crystal structure...
The analysis of the distribution of monoterpenes through the leaf pairs of a single shoot of Mentha piperita supports Reitsema's contention that the first terpenes formed are unsaturated ketones and that saturated terpenes are produced from these. The growth of Mentha piperita under varying conditions of temperature and the leaf-by-leaf...
Indentation hardness tests were made on sections of 211 pieces
of Douglas fir and 208 pieces of Western hemlock at a moisture content
of about 11 percent. Specific gravity and visual-density evaluations
were also determined.
Correlation coefficients for linear regression of density, as
measured by specific gravity, on average standard...
High purity single crystals of zirconium were produced and
mechanically strained in the temperature range from 4.2°K to 293°K.
The crystals were produced by thermal treatment with a specially
constructed electron beam zone refiner which provided the abrupt
temperature gradient necessary for crystal growth. Specimens were
electrolytically machined to have...
It has generally been assumed by historians and anthropologists that the indigenous groups living to the west and northwest of the Colorado River were non-horticultural with three or four exceptions: some horticulture among the eastern-most Kamia, among the Chemehuevi who settled at a late date along the Colorado River, and...
A study was made on the effect of CCC (2-chloroethyl)-trimethyl-ammonium
chloride), a plant growth retardant, on the RNA (ribonucleic
acid) content of wheat plants, It was found that the RNA content of
wheat leaves generally decreased with increasing levels of CCC up to
1x10⁻⁵M. Thereafter, the RNA content again increased...
The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship
between University housing and academic achievement and to investigate
the relationship of age, previous year's grade-point average and
intelligence to academic achievement.
A sample of one hundred and sixty four sophomore, junior and
senior students were selected from four housing...
