The purpose of this study was to test, by means of
a controlled classroom experiment, the effectiveness of
an experimental method involving the introduction of
regular dictation of unpracticed material beginning with
Lesson 25 in the Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified,
Second Edition, by Gregg, Leslie, and Zoubek.

Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating
thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These
same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems
according to the number of coefficients required to define the data.
Stockett found it was difficult to classify systems by this method.
Macan suggested...
A study was initiated in 1961 to characterize seral plant
communities in a part of the Cedar Creek drainage in the Tillamook
Burn. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units was a necessary
first step in conifer-animal damage studies supported by the
Oregon State Game Commission.
Reconnaissance information was recorded in...
This investigation has as its purpose: (1) to identify present
student personnel practices in evening community college programs,
(2) to identify student personnel practices considered "desirable" or
"undesirable" in evening community college programs, and (3) to
develop student personnel service guidelines for an evening community
college program.
Securing and Treating...
The purposes of this investigation are twofold: (1) to identify the functions necessary for an adequate student personnel program in the two-year community college and (2) to develop guidelines based on the functions identified. Securing And Treating Of Data: The data for this study were obtained by using a questionnaire...
The purpose of this study is to determine if the problem of
scheduling instructors to classes can be formulated as a linear
program involving integer variables limited to values of zero and
one. Once such a formulation is accomplished, attempts at electronic computer solution of the problem are considered.
Specifically,...
This thesis is concerned with riverfront land use in Albany,
Oregon, and is addressed to the possibility of orderly development
and redevelopment of the riverfront. It appraises the present situation
particularly in regard to the renewal cycle and the problem of
floods on the river borders. Finally this thesis provides...
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...
Thermal decomposition of several di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazones
was studied. It was found that the carbene decomposition
of tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione, di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone
gave two products resulting from
rearrangement. One was identified as 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-hexatriene. A tentative structure for the second was
proposed. During the course of the study, a more convenient
procedure for thermal decompositions was...

Studies have been conducted with broilers and layers fed
manually formulated or linear programmed rations. Experiments
with broilers have involved the following: 1) determining the lysine
requirement with and without cottonseed meal in the ration, 2) formulating
by linear programming rations made up from different reported
amino acid mixtures and...

An attempt was made to demonstrate isozymic forms of esterase,
MDH, LDH and GPDH and the variation in enzyme pattern with increasing
age in the thoracic muscle, appendage muscle and hemolymph
of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Sampled specimens
of both sexes were aged one through seven days, two weeks...

The principal salinity extrema and extremum surfaces of the
world ocean are described by the analysis and plotting of data from
885 hydrographic stations in the three major oceans, the Southern
Ocean, and the American Mediterranean Sea. The distributions of
salinity, temperature, depth, and density along the extremum surfaces,
plotted...
The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether
there were significant differences between Oregon community
college collegiate freshmen and Oregon State University freshmen in
terms of interest, values, and manifest needs.
The study was limited to a representative sample of the freshman
population in the lower-division collegiate program...
New syntheses for 2-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonanone and 7-bicyclo-(3.3.1)nonen-2-one were developed. The saturated ketone was prepared
from phenol and acrylonitrile via a novel intramolecular
S[subscript N]2 cyclization process. A Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexenyl)propanoyl chloride permitted synthesis of the unsaturated
ketone from 4-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde. The formation of
the bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane rather than a bicyclo(3.2.2)nonane skeleton...
The probable pollution distribution and flushing times have been
calculated for the Columbia River Estuary, a coastal plain estuary.
The pollution distribution was determined by the fresh water fraction
and by the diffusion equation. The flushing times were calculated by
the modified tidal prism method and by the fraction of...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a
significant difference existed between Oregon community college
transfer students and native students at Oregon State University with
respect to academic achievement, persistence, and graduation.
Two groups of students were selected for observation. The
first included all of the...
The production of C¹⁴O₂ metabolized from glucose labeled in
specific carbon atoms by homogenates of chick embryonic and adult
heart was compared by the radiorespirometric technique. Homogenates
of early (two to five days of incubation) embryo hearts were
found to utilize the phosphogluconate pathway of glucose catabolism
to a greater...
This report is the result of a planned, organized effort to give the people of Clackamas County an opportunity to communicate about their concerns and their problems.
The procedure has been followed by the Extension Service of Oregon State University for many decades. Periodically, it is repeated as conditions change,...
The rate of the C¹⁴0₂ release from glucose, specifically labeled
with C¹⁴ at 1, 2, 3+4, and positions, was used to study the relative
participation of pathways of glucose catabolism in red beet slices.
Evidence was obtained which indicated that in mature red beets glucose
was catabolized mainly via glycolysis-tricarboxylic...
Active transmission lines, a generalization of classical transmission
lines, are useful electrical devices. They can be utilized to
realize distributed amplifiers and to obtain other electrical characteristics unattainable with passive lines. Active lines have historical
significance and model many physical processes including heat
conduction in an internally heated material, a...
Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf
consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average
median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and
negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse
sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...
