The objective of this study was to examine the life history of
vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was
conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass
and productivity. The specific objectives were to 1) estimate the
contribution of...
Studies in the lower Lookout Creek-Blue River area have revealed a geomorphic history including glaciation and the development of three alluvial surfaces, presently active alluvial cones and older, deeply dissected cone remnants. Results are based on landform mapping, analysis of the types and distributions of surficial sediments, and the
distribution...
A multi-phase methodology is proposed as an aid to
resource planning and management activities in a high
technology company faced with an uncertain marketing
future. An attempt is made to incorporate both quantifiable
and non-quantifiable factors.
The problem analysis phase of the proposed methodology
employs Resource Planning and Management (RPM)...
A transaminase (aminotransferase, EC 2. 6. 1) was extracted and
purified approximately 148-fold from shoot tips of pea (Pisum sativum
L. cv. Alaska) seedlings and some properties of the enzyme were
determined. The purification included acetone precipitation followed
by column chromatography on hydroxylapatite.
With a-ketoglutarate as co-substrate, the acetone precipitated...
Sixteen secondary school health teachers evaluated their own
course teaching performance. Students in each of these courses
evaluated the same teacher and the results were compared. An
adapted version of a teacher rating form developed by the School of
Agriculture, Oregon State University, was used by all study participants.
Teacher...
When considering acreage and the number of cadasters
certain land use functions in the Merlin Irrigation District dominate.
The majority of the cadasters in the district are ten acres or less.
Approximately twice an many land owners in the district were willing
to purchase water than those who were not....
The detection and antigenic nature of the causative Corynebacterium
of bacterial kidney disease and chemotherapy of this disease
in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were examined.
Each of 207 yearling coho salmon collected from a population
undergoing a severe epizootic of bacterial kidney disease were examined
for the presence of...
Unfertilized ova from spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) were examined for the presence of classical salmonid
inmmunoglobulin. Immunodiffusion techniques in which rabbit anti-salmonid
immunoglobulin was reacted against an ova homogenate
and rabbit anti-ova homogenate was reacted against immune chinook
serum failed to detect classical-type antibodies within these eggs.
A lectin...
Bioelectric responses from the isolated eye of the purple shore
crab were measured by the electroretinogram with stimulation by
light from wavelengths of 250 to 800 nm, strontium-yttrium-90 beta
radiation, 17.5 keV x-radiation, and 3-cm microwaves.
Peak sensitivities to light stimulation were found at 350 and 500
nm. These peaks...
Surface meteorological data collected at a mesonetwork in
Colorado during the 1973 National Hail Research Experiment were
analyzed to see if a diurnal oscillation of boundary layer wind exists
and also to determine the mechanism that drives the wind system.
The average temperature, pressure, and wind velocity for a month's...
