Seismic refraction, reflection and gravity data obtained
across the Peru continental margin and Nazca Plate
at 9° S. permit a detailed determination of crustal structure.
Complex structures normal to the profile require the
development of a ray trace technique to analyze first and
later arrivals for eleven overlapping refraction lines....
The effects of bicycle exercise on specific anthropometric and
physiological measures were observed in two test subjects (S1 and S2)
over a twelve week exercise period. The two subjects, one male (S1)
and one female (S2) participated in a graduated bicycle exercise program.
Body weight, body measurements, circulatory function tests,...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between poverty and mental retardation and to place mental retardation in its true perspective as a social condition which thrives especially in poverty areas. More specifically, this study attempted to determine if there was any significant relationship between selected social...
Purpose
This study compared existing Oregon elementary school physical
education facilities and equipment with those facilities and equipment
items perceived to be essential for a quality physical education program
by nationally selected physical education specialists.
Procedures
A survey form was mailed to 110 national educators proposed by
state directors of...
Pacific madrone, tanoak, and California black oak are the most economically promising native California hardwoods. Volume and value data indicate upward trends in growing stock levels and prices received for their products. These trends are likely to continue. They suggest research is particularly needed for: (1) seed fall and
regeneration,...
This thesis demonstrates that at low frequencies (periods longer
than 2.5 days) local currents off the coast of Oregon are closely
related to the wind. Wind and current observations made during
August and September 1969 are described and compared to demonstrate
that a relationship exists; the physics of the interaction...
This study examines a limited number of selected themes in
Judeo-Christian, or Western, religious thought and their implications
for man's use of land, with the objective of discovering the influence
of Western religion on attitudes toward nature and land.
Five themes are examined: dominion of man; stewardship; contempt
for, and...
The paleomagnetic history of the volcanic rocks of Easter
Island was investigated using standard paleomagnetic techniques.
The remanent magnetization of 673 specimens from the three volcanic
episodes recognized on the island were measured using a spinner
magnetometer. Inclinations, declinations and virtual geomagnetic
poles were calculated for each flow. The majority...
