Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of
the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2,
1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water
upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations
( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....
The history of fire between 1850 and 1977 in a portion of the
Willamette National Forest in-the central Western Cascades of Oregon was
documented using historical sources. Three types of records were
available: (1) records and writings not primarily concerned with fire
but yielding information about fire in context with...
In 1976 the Oregon legislature defeated a bill to assume
primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) of Oregon drinking water
supply systems under the purview of the Safe Drinking Water Act (PL 93-
523), and subsequently reduced state drinking water supervision program
funding by 90%. Since that time Oregon drinking water systems...
There is a considerable amount of vacant land
zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth
Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals
a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely
scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is
misleading, as only 77.50...
This study examines the spatial characteristics
of the seafood processing industry on the Oregon Coast.
Three study areas are discussed: the Astoria area, the Newport
area, and the Coos Bay area. The industry is categorized
by four types of seafood processors. Types and
uses of processing and nonprocessing space are...
Statement of the Problem
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine
if a valid and reliable assessment instrument could be
developed to measure the cultural competence of counselor
trainees.
Hypotheses
Five hypotheses were generated to establish the reliability
and validity of the instrument. The instrument consisted
of two...
The objective of this paper is to conduct a geographical inventory
of a sand and gravel site, Lower Kiger Island, so as to identify and
evaluate other potential land uses subsequent to the extraction of its aggregate
resources. This information is intended to aid citizens, land use
planners, and sand...
The applicability of electromyographic biofeedback toward alleviating
test taking anxiety was examined along with the effects of
relaxation training on general anxiety, locus of control, test performance,
and muscle tension during a test. The Achievement Anxiety
Test (AAT) was administered to 271 freshman psychology students.
Students whose scores indicated high...
The order of the practical system (e.g. nuclear power
plants, electrical power network and chemical plant) is
quite large. However, there are many limitations in computing
facilities for the large system. Because of these
limitations, it is often necessary to reduce the order of
the large system using an approximation....
Small hydroelectric development, the construction or reconstruction
of small scale hydropower systems, has become a much discussed alternative
for the future supply of U.S. energy. In the Pacific Northwest,
the greatest potential for small hydro application is in the development
of new dam sites. Although much is known about the...
