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

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...
