Sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites
along the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon from Yaquina Bay to Elk City near
the head of the estuary. Samples were collected in November 1973,
February 1974, May 1974 and August 1974 from two or three intertidal
levels depending on the magnitude of the...
The present study examined the relationship between views of the
female role, mothers' expression of sexual affection, and women's attitudes
toward sexual behaviors. Subjects were 122 single middle-class
college women from intact families who had some prior experience in heterosexual
relationships. Women's scores on the Mother's Expression of Sexual
Affection...
The work on which this report is based was supported in part by funds provided by the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Water Resources Research, as authorized under the Water Resources Research Act of 1964. The project was discontinued because of lack of funds. Project No. A-015.
The objectives of this study were to establish a suitable method
for the measurement of the root cation-exchange capacity of conifer
seedlings, and to examine possible influences of this root characteristic
on nutrient absorption from a Bellpine soil under greenhouse
conditions.
The exchange sites of fresh, excised roots were saturated...
Cultural and developmental characteristics of a collection of
Anthracobia melaloma with a brown hymenium and a barred exterior
appearance were examined. It grows well in culture on CM and
CMMY agar media and has a growth rate of 17 mm in 18 hours. It is
heterothallic and produces asexual multinucleate...
Two digestibility trials using sheep were conducted to determine
the digestibility coefficients of a commercially processed NaOH treated
annual ryegrass straw cube. Comparisons were made with loose, chopped
ryegrass straw and a ryegrass straw cube processed with molasses as a
binder.
The NaOH cubed straw was produced by spraying a...
A recently developed statistical model for first-order scattered fields is used to predict
the normalized covariance function of an underwater acoustic signal backscattered by a
hypothetical school of fish. The fish school is configured as an oblate spheroid with the
individual fish Poisson distributed within the school.
Empirical covariance functions...
The purpose of the research was to investigate the chemical
composition of five starches and the physical characteristics of their
respective starch pastes as these properties relate to the characteristics
of starch-structured breads. Starch-structured breads were prepared
with five starches, corn, wheat, potato, arrowroot and waxy
maize, used as granular...
Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical
and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution
pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments,
(2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic
variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with
respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...
Problem
While the primary emphasis of this study was on the professional
aspects of a business teacher's preparation, by necessity it was
concerned with other aspects of the preparation of business teachers,
especially as these relate to the so-called "professional sequence."
Thus the purpose of the study was to seek...
In the first chapter of this thesis, several methods are used to
solve an n-th order linear ordinary differential equation with constant
coefficients together with n known initial values. The first
method is the standard elementary method where the general solution
of the differential system is found as a sum...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between
creativity and independent or autonomous behavior among preschoolaged
children.
Forty children, 19 boys and 21 girls, with a mean age of 4 years-
1 month, and a mean I.Q. of 113, acted as subjects for this study. All
children...
The major purpose of this study was to investigate the effects
of indoor aquatic activities on the health patterns of the college student.
Three groups of students were used in the investigation: the
experimental group, comprised of students enrolled in aquatic
activities, and two control groups, the first comprised of...
The purpose of this research was to determine if there were
initial differences in selected dimensions of self-actualization, as
measured by the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI), between the
freshmen who selected co-educational residence halls and those who
selected single-sex residence halls; and to determine if the type
of residence hall...
Sixty-two isolates of Pseudomonas, principally from fruit trees,
were compared on the basis of LOPAT characteristics, pathogenicity,
and protein band pattern produced by gel electrophoresis of soluble
proteins. All but one of the oxidase negative isolates fell into
LOPAT group Ia. The oxidase positive isolates were placed into groups
IVa,...
Kinetics of cell division in the intestinal epithelial proliferative cells (cell nests) of the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa, were studied using tritiated thymidine autoradiography and the mitotic arresting properties of colcemid. Percent labeled mitoses (PLM) curves were drawn from the autoradiographic data from two separate experiments in which the newts...
Purpose
The purpose of this study was two fold: 1) to determine the
self concepts of women workers and their relationship to certain
personal variables and patterns of work, and 2) to produce basic
self concept research.
Procedures
The subjects selected for this study were the women employed
in 1973...
The purpose of this study was to give a fifty-nine year historical overview of the development of the state female juvenile institution, Hillcrest School of Oregon. The material covered in the study included state laws which had direct effect upon the programs at the school; the philosophies and goals of...
This annual report describes progress in marine radioecological studies
under USAEC Contract Number AT(45-1)2227 Task Agreement 12 during the period
1 July 1970 through 30 June 1971. This contract number replaces USAEC
Contract Number AT(45-1)1750 which started 1 June 1962. Although the basic
report format has not been greatly changed...
This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...
