This technical report summarizes the
results of a three year study of the zooplankton
living in the nearshore zone off
Newport, Oregon. The sampling program was
part of the Early Life History (ELH) project
of the Oregon State University Sea Grant Program
and was designed to study the ecology
of...
Yarding delays add significantly to the time and cost required to obtain a given quantity
of timber. In this study, they increased total yarding time by as much as 28 percent. As yarding system complexity increases, the frequency of delays can also be expected to increase. For one balloon yarding...

An experimental study was made of the average and turbulent
wind characteristics of the flow over a model of a coastal headland.
The scale of the model was 300:1, corresponding to a prototype size
of 500 m.
The data for validation of the model study was obtained from
instruments mounted...

Much information biologists need to do their job comes from fishermen's logbooks. These logbook data are confidential by law. No single log record, or single skipper's log information can be made available to anyone else. What use is made of these log records, and why are they useful is a...
Something new is being added to food labels. Many food processors are putting nutrition information on their food labels. By 1975, all fortified foods, and all foods for which a nutrition claim is made, must display nutrition information on the labels.

The equations of motion of an elastic cable suspended in a
viscous medium from two arbitrary points are derived. These are
then linearized for the undamped, inextensible case, and it is found
that the equations describing the in-plane motion of the cable are
then independent of the equation describing the...
This is one possible vegetable garden plan for a family of five. Below are the estimated costs for seeds, transplants, and fertilizer. These vegetables will supply to total vegetable needs (including canning, freezing and storing for a family of five for one year.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences between winter wheat varieties in response to nitrogen fertilizer. Seven nitrogen fertilizer rate x variety factorial experiments were conducted in several environments. Dry matter and nitrogen yields at boot, soft dough, and harvest and grain yield components were measured. The yield...
This report presents the findings of a sediment analysis
program formulated to determine the flushing potential
of various shaped small boat marina basins. Chemical tests
regarding volatile solids, Kjeldahl nitrogen, grease and
oil, and sulfides were performed with the results compared
to established sediment quality criteria. These results
were used...
Urbanites who own forest land belong to a larger category of owners often referred to as small woodland owners. As a group, small woodland owners have been the subject of much investigation. Little research, however, has focused specifically on urban-dwelling owners who, as defined by the Census Bureau, live in...
Unbleached-flour, high-ratio white cakes were prepared with
-15, -10, -5, 0, +5 percent variations in sugar/water level from
American Association of Cereal Chemists Method 10-90. Formulas
with and without added cream of tartar were used.
Specific gravity, batter and crumb pH, volume, crumb and
crust color and compressibility were objectively...
Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...
Persistent levels of high turbidity in the outflow from the
Prineville Reservoir led to development of relationships between
watershed soils, land use, and resource management and water
quality in the Upper Crooked River, Central Oregon.
Seven stations, strategically located for measurement of runoff
volume and water sample collection, were established...
The objective of this study is to
answer four questions concerning the transportation
network on the Willamette National Forest. These
questions are 1) how many and what kind of roads
exist on the forest, 2) how much annual traffic
can these existing roads handle, 3) can the
existing system handle...
In the spring and summer of 1975 a study was conducted under natural conditions to determine whether wild adult Dermacentor andersoni Stiles would transmit Anaplasma marginale to cattle. The ticks were collected from the range pasture of Squaw Butte Experiment Station where anaplasmosis is enzootic and D. andersoni is indigenous....
Temporal changes in gene frequencies and genotype frequencies,
monthly densities, survival rates, growth rates, trap susceptibility
and home ranges were evaluated from 291 Nuttall's cottontails
(Sylvilagus nuttallii) captured 950 times by livetrapping and 53 cottontails
collected by shooting. Electrophoretic analyses of sera revealed
protein polymorphism at the transferrin locus in...
The preservation of land, such as wetlands and agricultural
lands, is often pursued through traditional methods such as zoning or
eminent domain. Transferable Development Rights provides a different
approach to the preservation of land by allowing the sale and transfer
of development rights from land to be protected to land...
Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the
community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal.
Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are
examined from a processual point of view to determine how these
patterns are generated.
The community's history and contemporary situation are described....
The primary problem of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of trained peer counselors on the personal growth of freshman students at a small liberal arts college. An effort was also made to determine if training residence hall student assistants in counseling skills affected freshman perceptions of those assistants.A...
A series of studies was conducted to determine the presence
of tobacco rattle virus (TRV), potato virus X (PVX), and other
viruses in wild plants and to evaluate the efficacy of the detection
methods; to characterize and purify an isolate of TRV; and
to study the interaction between TRV and...
Although some of the most difficult problems in forest management occur as a result of timber harvest operations, present methodology in harvest planning emphasizes guidelines which rely heavily upon the experience of the individual forest manager for their correct application. This study was undertaken in an effort to develop a...
This study was conducted by the School of Forestry at Oregon State University to provide some of the information needed by the Oregon Board of Forestry to develop a forestry program for Oregon. The study makes three contributions: One, a data base that provides an up-to-date timber inventory and information...

"A pilot study conducted for the Environmental Protection Agency." "Based on field work conducted during the months of July and August 1976, the following report describes the characteristics of vegetation at the upper limit of intertidal wetland in five Oregon coastal marshes and relates vegetation characteristics to marsh zonation, elevations...
This paper describes a method for measuring nearshore ocean wave characteristics with a land-based, long-period vertical seismometer. The wavemeter system has proven to be highly reliable and produces continuous wave observations at low cost. It is now operational at six Coast Guard stations along the Oregon and Washington coasts; data...
