A method for analyzing growth of an urban area is
developed. Albany, Oregon, from 1936 to 1975 was used as a test
case. The method employs the use of remotely sense imagery
combined with an analysis of selected physical characteristics
of the land being urbanized. The study consists of an...
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been reported to cause
alterations in the metabolism of phospholipids and glycerides in animals
and humans. This project was undertaken in an attempt to determine
the mode of action of PCBs and their primary metabolites on
phospholipid and glyceride biosynthesis.
The activity of sn-glycerol-3 phosphate acyltransferase...
Biome investigators are well skilled in collecting and recording numbers.
The investigators continue through description of the notebook data.
Some investigators encounter much trouble in getting the data our of
their notebooks and Interchanged among people in a usable format. This
paper describes an effort to automate the calculations done...
The Coniferous Forest Biome has access to several strip chart recorders but is definitely limited with respect to data-logging equipment. The methodology reported in this paper interfaces the common strip chart with the Coniferous Forest Biome Information bank storage system by
converting the strip chart data to card image data...
During the development of the media for the identification and
differentiation of Clostridium perfringens and C. botulinum types A,
B and E, 16 different double layer media were prepared and tested
with known cultures of 28 C. botulinum strains, 20 C. perfringens
strains and 11 other clostridial species.
The semisolid...

of an adult high school diploma program at Linn Benton Community
College, Specifically, the purposes of this study are: (1) the creation
of an instructional approach utilizing performance objectives as a
means of satisfying the minimum adult high school...
A study was conducted to determine the quantity and character
of substances leached from logs floating in water, and the rate of
leaching of these substances. The species of wood studied were Douglas
fir and ponderosa pine. The research was carried out in a controlled
laboratory environment with log sections...
A series of log storage experiments were conducted to determine
whether leachates derived from water storage of logs are acutely
toxic to fish. Log segments approximately 18 inches long and 16 inches
in diameter were stored in tanks and held submerged for a period of
7 days. The holding water...
An inbred cabbage line (Brassica oleracea L. (Capitata group))
and an inbred broccoli line (B. oleracea L. (Italica group)) were
crossed. F₁ progeny were vigorous annuals. Of 3,260 F₂ plants, 250
were biennials and 70 developed cabbage heads. Of these 70, 32 were
annuals. Days to first visible buds of...
Average characteristics of subsidence inversions associated with
the Pacific High have only been documented for areas along the U.S.
West Coast and over the tropical eastern North Pacific Ocean. This
study, which is based on 3414 upper-air soundings for June through
September of 1964 and 1965, shows the average summer...
