The northern Oregon coast suffers extensive loss of land as a result of landslides which constitute the primary mechanism of coastline recession. Both real property and structures along the coast have been destroyed and this destruction will continue. In certain instances, it may be feasible to protect property by engineered...
Acquisition of divergent-productive thinking skills by using
elementary science materials constitutes the basic idea of this experiment.
The data collected was used to determine statistically if
the materials had a significant role in inducing such skills.
The Ss were fifth-grade students obtained from two public elementary
schools in Oregon. Those...
A complete taxonomic review of the Family Eviphididae was
made for the first time. The family was found to contain forty-nine
species and five genera. The genera included were: Eviphis
Berlese, Scarabaspis Womersley, Alliphis Halbert, Pelethiphis
Berlese, and Thinoseius Halbert.
The new species described were: Eviphis oregonensis from
Deschutes County,...
This thesis presents an economic analysis for a proposed toll
road which is to separate different types of traffic such as pedestrians,
slow speed vehicles and high speed motor vehicles, and to
divert through traffic from the local roads. The use of a toll road
usually provides significant savings in...
The thesis area includes 54 square miles of the southeastern
Cuddy Mountains in west-central Idaho. The oldest rocks within the
area are plutonic phases of the Jurassic Cuddy Mountain complex.
These and Cretaceous (?) intrusive and associated (?) extrusive rocks
and nearby Triassic to Early Jurassic metasedimentary and metavolcanic
rocks...
Concentrated culture supernatants from strains of Vibrio
parahaemolyticus of gastroenteric origin, "suspected" V. parahaemolyticus
isolated from cases of skin infection, nonpathogenic marine
Vibrio, V. anguillarum and V. alginolyticus, were submitted to flat
gel electrophoresis, followed by the examination of the polyacrylamide
gels for total protein and enzyme patterns.
Variations related...
Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely
cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively,
the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and
a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning
soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey
silts, sandy clays,...
An integrating nephelometer was set up at the Eugene Airport
which is located five miles north of Eugene, Oregon, on Highway
99 West. Continuous atmospheric scattering coefficient readings
were obtained from July 1, 1969, to August 28, 1969. These data
are converted to meteorological range through the use of the...
Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of 13 model sugar compounds
were measured in the energy range of 50 to 80 kK. The model
sugars included three simple alcohols, four simple ethers, four cyclic
alcohol-ether compounds, and two dioxanes. All spectra show
transition bands in the energy region 50 to 65 kK....
