The literature clearly indicates that pharmacist monitoring of
hospital patients by use of a patient profile is needed. The literature
does not, however, describe a method of selecting the information to
be included on the profile. Since monitoring needs vary from hospital
to hospital, a method of identifying specific needs...
The vegetation surrounding a nest shades and insulates the incubating
bird in addition to concealing it. The vegetative material
that makes up a nest insulates the eggs from its warmer or cooler

ground, both egg and adult are subject to...
This was an experimental study designed to compare the effectiveness
of computer-assisted laboratory instruction to teacher-assisted
laboratory instruction based on student achievement in Elementary
Business Statistics. Computer-assisted laboratory materials and an
Elementary Business Statistics achievement test were evaluated.
Procedures
The setting of this experiment was at Southern Oregon State
College,...
Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in
the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season.
The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters
which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing
vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...
This paper is an analysis of the resource use
conflict of the Columbia River salmon fishery. The report
discusses the physical setting of the Columbia River, the
biology of anadromous salmon, the history of the resource
use, hazards to the salmon, fishing techniques, and salmon
usage today with its conflicts,...
Several environmental and cultural factors were studied to
explain the distribution of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook.)
in an area one mile northwest of Millican, Oregon. In the study area juniper
grows densely on upper south slopes and only sparsely occurs on upper
north slopes. Juniper moisture stress was found...
The thesis area consists of 44 square miles in southeast Harney
County, Oregon. The Pueblo Mountains are located in the northwest
part of the Basin and Range structural province, and are characterized
by normal faults of large displacement that produced the tilted fault
block mountain range.
The oldest rocks exposed...
