The expression and inheritance of a leaf distortion of beans was
studied in a group of the Oregon State University breeding lines and a
commercial cultivar. Of seven parents involved, two were without distortion
and classified normal, and the remainder were affected by
various degrees of distortion. The distortion affected...
This study compares the production rates and yarding costs of prebunching
with a low investment skyline yarder and swinging with a larger
skyline yarder to full-cycle thinning with the larger yarder The study
analyzes two slackpulling techniques (manual and haulback assisted) and
two carriages (a multi-span carriage and a clamping...
Major and minor minerals have been separated from
three L-6 chondritic meteorites (Alfianello, Colby (Wisconsin),
and Leedey). Olivine, hypersthene, diopside, feldspar,
troilite, chromite, phosphate minerals, and metallic
minerals were analyzed for major, minor and trace elements
using instrumental neutron activation analysis and radiochemical
neutron activation analysis techniques. Concentrations

In this dissertation, a new computational method for equality constrained nonlinear programming is developed. Specifically, problems of minimizing a nonlinear objective function f(x) subject to constraints h(x) = 0, where f is a scalar valued, x is an n-vector and h is a m-vector with m < n is considered....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships
between age, sex, eye-hand coordination, the time it takes individuals
to learn how to manipulate dental floss between all of their teeth, and
the time it takes individuals to learn how to effectively clean their
teeth with dental floss.

This study, dealing with the concept of career education, was
undertaken to:
1) develop a multi-media career education component for Phase I
of the undergraduate teacher education program at Oregon State
University.
2) measure the effect of that component on selected students.
3) compare their responses with students who had...
The major purpose of this research was to study the in-service
programs for community college vocational instructors, and develop
guidelines for a cooperative work experience approach to in-service
staff development.
The specific objectives of the study were:
(1) To develop a research instrument capable of measuring the
agreement relative to...
