Heat energy exchange between the Killdeer, its eggs, and the environment

Creator:: Cronan, James Zan
Abstract:: The vegetation surrounding a nest shades and insulates the incubating bird in addition to concealing it. The vegetative material that makes up a nest insulates the eggs from its warmer or cooler surroundings. Since a Killdeer builds a stone-lined nest on barren ground, both egg and adult are subject to...

Some macrophytic, intertidal algal associations on the coast of Oregon

Creator:: Gill, Gary Lawlor
Abstract:: Two sampling lines were established in the intertidal region at each of three geographically separate sites on the coast of Oregon. Each sampling line, which was positioned in the zone dominated by the brown alga Hedophyllum sessile, was one meter in height and extended 50 meters horizontally. Information was sought...

Creator:: Sugimura, Diane Maeda
Abstract:: The study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the relationship between clothing behavior and sex, Japanese and American cultures, feminine or masculine personality types, and sex-role concepts. The aspects of clothing behavior included in the study are interest, tolerance, acceptance, and innovation of uni-sex clothing items, and the femininity-masculinity...

John Turberville Needham (1713-1781) and eighteenth century theories of generation

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: There were two viable theories of generation, preformation and epigenesis, existing in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Due to their irreconcilable nature, they were often at loggerheads during this time interval. The status of these generation theories can be effectively understood in terms of Thomas Kuhn's conception of preparadigm science....

The cultural implications of a careers oriented relevant education approach in junior high school settings in Springfield, Oregon

Creator:: Pierson, William Wilbur
Abstract:: This research details the adoption, implementation, and outcomes of Project C. 0. R. E. (Careers Oriented Relevant Education) in District #19 junior high schools in Springfield, Oregon. Information was gathered from teachers, students, and parents associated with each District #19 junior high school via questionnaires, interviews, and by field observations....

The effect of auditory training on the auditory discrimination ability of the contralateral ear

Creator:: Anderson, Roy Bruce
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine whether one ear of a profoundly deaf student could duplicate a response rate similar to the response rate achieved by the opposite ear on an auditory training program. The formal hypothesis of this study was: a student that reaches criterion level of...

Development and rationale for a minimum pollution product trademark which consumers can identify with minimum pollution products

Creator:: Whyte, William James
Abstract:: Note: From here on Minimum Pollution Product and MPP will be used interchangeably. This study was initiated to develop a trademark which could be registered and used for advertising purposes by companies producing and selling products which are minimum pollutants relative to competitive products in the same market. One of...

The relationship of some family background variables to college graduation

Creator:: Ghaffari, Rose Marie Hughes
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships that were hypothesized to exist between the variables birth order, family size, and parents college attendance and the dependent variable, college graduation. The three general hypotheses tested were: 1. A positive relationship exists between a given position in birth order...

Stability of flows of thermo-viscoelastic fluids between rotating coaxial circular cylinders

Creator:: Ghandour, Nabil Nassib
Abstract:: We investigate in this thesis, the problem of stability of thermo-viscoelastic fluid flow between rotating coaxial cylinders. By using the thermo-viscoelastic constitutive equations given by Eringen, we reduce the equations of motion into a form suitable for stability analysis. The course of reduction which we follow yields some interesting intermediate...

Photoperiodic control of development in the leafhopper, Agalliopsis abietaria Oman

Creator:: Brown, Robert David
Abstract:: Photoperiod controls the duration of both the fourth and fifth stadia in Agalliopsis abietaria Oman. Development was arrested in the fourth stadium unless short days were given during the second and third instars; a short arrest of development occurred if the short days did not begin until the fourth instar....

An analysis of fission product gamma spectra : the use of nuclear systematics to estimate gamma spectra

Creator:: Holter, Gene David
Abstract:: The gamma contribution to reactor afterheat depends on gamma energy since high-energy commas are more likely to escape from tilt. fuel. The objective of this work is to investigate the gamma-energy spectrum of a pure U-235 fission reactor. Fission-product nuclides are first listed in order' of importance as contributors to...

Immune responses of salmonids : a) Oral immunization against Flexibacter columnaris : b) Effects of combining antigens in parenterally administered polyvalent vaccines

Creator:: Ransom, David Peter
Abstract:: Juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were orally immunized against the bacterium Flexibacter columnaris (formerly Chondrococcus columnaris), the causative agent of columnaris disease in fish, with a vaccine-food preparation containing formalin-killed cells. Fish immunized for 1, 2, 3, and 4 months were challenged with selected concentrations of F. columnaris by exposure...

Lamarck's approach to an understanding of man

Creator:: Dobson, Christopher Michael
Abstract:: Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) is considered here in the context of the Enlightenment effort to develop a science of man. His Philosophie zoologique (1809) and the Systeme analytique (1820) are the two principal relevant works examined in depth to discover how he meant to base a science of man on...
