The energy distribution of electrons in Townsend discharges in
helium has been experimentally investigated in a direct fashion.
A discharge is initiated between parallel plates of a small cell
mounted at the center of a spherical retarding field energy analyzer.
The anode of the cell is perforated and some electrons...
At the time of this study 19 states have entered into agreements, one state agreement is pending and one state has submitted its proposal for entering into an agreement with the Atomic Energy Commission for the purpose of assuming regulatory authority over (1) byproduct, (2) source and (3) special nuclear...
Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded
in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River,
Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the
Holocene (Curray, 1965) and the general transgression has been
interrupted by several stillstands and minor regressions.
Box core...
The accumulation of dieldrin and its effects on species composition of benthic algal communities were studied in laboratory
streams. Effects of dieldrin on photosynthetic and respiratory
rates of the blue-green alga Phormidium retzii were determined using
a Gilson Differential Respirometer.
Dieldrin concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 7.0 ppb were
maintained...
Field, growth chamber, and greenhouse studies were carried
out to evaluate factors that cause low seed set in Dactylis Glomerata
L. The variety, 'Latar', and the parental clones of the variety,
'Pennlate', were studied in detail.
Floral anatomy investigations indicated that 98 percent of
Dactylis flowers opened at Corvallis in...
In this study subcutaneous, inter- and intramuscular fats from 42
Hereford steers were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using
gas-liquid chromatography. The same tissues were analyzed from one
pair each of identical twins of Angus and Shorthorn breeding. Muscle
and liver lipids from these latter four animals were fractionated...
The Permian rocks near Quinn River Crossing, Humboldt County,
Nevada, crop out as a north-trending block-faulted ridge and consist
of more than 2600 feet of middle Permian fossiliferous limestone.
About 1000 feet of unfossiliferous cherty shales, sandstones, and
conglomerates are associated with the limestone and are assumed also
to be...
An experiment was conducted during the period November 1967
to November 1968 at Oregon State University (OSU) and the Umatilla
Branch Experiment Station (BES) at Hermiston, two trials at each
location, to answer several questions: (1) could comparable rations
for swine be formulated by a computer on a least-cost basis;...
An investigation of Mn uptake by five-day-old excised barley
roots revealed that a metabolically-mediated process was involved.
In short-term experiments, the rate of Mn absorption was comparable
to that of the macronutrient cations. Like other metabolically
absorbed cations, the Mn absorption rate was a direct function of
the ambient concentration...
Studies were conducted on the causes of low germination of
monogerm sugarbeet seed grown in western Oregon. Emphasis was
placed on the identification and measurement of endogenous inhibitors
as related to the germination and vigor. Both qualitative and quantitative
analytical methods were applied to examine the organic substances
in the...
