The primary purpose of this research study was to determine whether
significant differences occurred in the amount of knowledge achieved as
a result of using Braille or compressed speech as learning modes.
Biographic/demographic characteristics such as present age, highest
educational level achieved, age at loss of vision, age at initial...
Numerical simulation of the January and July global
climate with the OSU two-level atmospheric general circulation
model has generated time series of the global
distribution of selected climatic variables. Analyses of
these data for the kinetic energy and available potential
energy based on 31-day time mean statistics have been
made...
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...
This study investigated the effect of first aid instruction on
college students' attitudes toward safety. It evolved from previous
studies of the relationship between first aid and accidents in Canada
and the United Kingdom. These earlier studies were concerned with the
effect of first aid training on accident rates. The...
The development and evaluation of a system for the handling, maintenance
and transcription of nursing home patient care orders are
described.
Before implementation of this documentation system, the study
nursing home was found to be out of compliance with various state,
federal and professional practice standards related to patient care...
Meteorological aspects of geothermal energy development are first
discussed in general terms. An instructive case study is then presented
of a hypothetical 100 MW geothermal electrical generating plant at
a site near Vale, Oregon. Long-term climate data from Ontario Airport
near Ontario, Oregon, are used to describe meteorological characteristics
of...
Testes size as an indicator of future growth was examined
in a total of 45 bull calves from spring calves born in 1978
and 1979. Scrotal circumference measurements were used as the
physical indicator of testicle size in the live animal.
Growth traits studied were preweaning average daily gain,
weaning...
Studies were conducted to determine the uniformity of three
commercial seed lots of ryegrass (Lolium spp.) and the effects of lot
size on lot uniformity. Individual bag-samples were taken from each
seed lot. Factors considered were percentage purity, annual ryegrass,
perennial ryegrass, weed, other crop, inert matter, and germination.
Number...
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...
