First year survival of Douglas-fir seedlings outplanted in areas
characterized by intense vegetative competition is heavily dependent
on available soil moisture. To test this hypothesis, five distinct
classes of Douglas-fir planting stock were planted on the south slope
of McCulloch Peak in McDonald Forest in February of 1975. The
stocking...

Both oxy-Cope and siloxy-Cope rearrangements involve
(1, 3) and (3, 3) sigrnatropic shifts. Both the concerted mechanism,
and the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate are possible.
In a cyclic system such as cis-l-vinylcyclooct-3-en-l-ol, the thermal
rearrangement takes place preferably through a diradical intermediate.
At high temperature, the reaction also...
This thesis, although dealing specifically with Oregon Agricultural
cooperatives, has significance for agricultural cooperatives on
a national basis when discussing equity financing.
The central issue is whether a patron may in effect transfer
his cooperative equity holding to another person without impairing
the total function of the cooperative? To answer...

A model of an exhaust plume was developed and programmed
on a digital computer. The purpose of the model was to predict the
concentration and size distribution of ice particles produced from
automobile exhaust during arctic conditions. The model accounted
for the nucleation, growth, and freezing of the condensed water...
