Seed of Cougar and Newport Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)
was harvested at Pullman and Spokane at several stages of maturity.
Variations in seed attributes resulting from environmental and maturity
effects were evaluated through germination tests, tetrazolium staining,
seed moisture and seed weight determinations. Seedling vigor was
determined by .speed...
Six, recent clear cut areas were selected in the Douglas-fir
zone of the Western Cascade Range of Oregon to determine the
environmental and nutritional effects that snowbrush has on the establishment
and growth of Douglas-fir seedlings.
One thousand eighty milacre sample plots on the six clear cuts
were used to...
Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
The experimental procedure for reactively sputtering
films of silicon nitride together with the methods for
measuring the film thickness have been investigated.
Some of the properties of these nitride films were studied.
These properties included: infrared spectrum,
etching properties, and index of refraction. The adherence
of the films was also...
A survey of scholarly and popular contemporary literature
reveals two persisting stereotypes regarding the
nature of women.
First is the theory that woman is inferior to man
and that since she is the "negative" of man's masculine
nature, she cannot develop her humanity to the fullest
extent without fusion with...
Maturation rates of monogerm sugar beet seed grown in Western
Oregon were measured quantitatively to determine attainment of maximum
seed development and germination. Seed was collected at various
intervals after anthesis from two hybrid varieties representing the
extremes in resistance (hard bolting) and susceptibility (easy bolting)
to seedstalk development. The...
The purpose of this study was to test a proposed procedure for
providing seniors in small high schools of Oregon with information
in regard to the private colleges and universities of the state. It included
the development of an audio-visual technique and its trial on
a sample group.
Scope and...
Nine experiments were conducted during 1964 and 1965 to study
the methods of reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed
(Potamogeton pectinatus) in irrigation systems.
Frequent treatments of sago pondweed foliage with aromatic
solvent greatly reduced the number of tubers in the substratum of
an irrigation canal. However, complete...
