A population of the Douglas-fir cone moth, Barbara colfaxiana
(Kft. ), was studied on the Buckhead Seed Production Area, Oakridge,
Oregon, during 1971 and 1972. A method of estimating cone and
insect populations is presented. Factors contributing to the mortality
of B. colfaxiana are discussed, with resinosis being the critical...
The objective of this investigation was to develop an acceptable
aspartame sweetened orange sherbet which might offer significant
caloric reduction and cost advantages, and hence be applicable to
commercial production.
A control sherbet, with a preference level equal to a
commercially available orange sherbet was used as the reference.
An...
The objectives of this study were:
1. To identify factors which contribute to the success of a
fiber artist in Oregon, including skills or knowledge gained from
training or experience.

to facilitate the evaluation of programs designed to train...
The cyclopropene fatty acids, sterculic and malvalic, occur
naturally in a major food lipid, cottonseed oil, and have been implicated
in several physiological disorders. Rainbow trout in this
study were fed semipurified diets containing 200 or 300 ppm methyl
sterculate, and the effects on hepatic lipid and glycogen levels,
lipid...
Three experiments were conducted on containerized seedlings to examine the short-term and long-term effects of environment on the root regeneration potential, and to examine the fate of the current photosynthate and its relationship to the root regeneration potential. The short-term effects were studied first in a 3x3x2 factorial experiment comprising...
Four isolates of Glomus mosseae, collected from diverse
geographic locations, were pot cultured on varied host plants or
stored in the same soil as collected. Spores of three isolates failed
to germinate on any of five agar media while the fourth germinated
well on all media. Lack of germination on...
During the period 1970-76, Siletz Spit on the mid-Oregon coast
has suffered foredune erosion. This erosion is associated with high
wave conditions along the coast, produced by intense storms in the
North Pacific.
During the winter of 1972-73 and during January through March
1976 the erosion was particularly severe. The...
The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality
of information fabric salespersons gave in three types of
stores to answer five specific consumer questions on
aesthetics, fiber content, sewing techniques, amount of
fabric needed, and notions and relate these answers to four
items of background information: general education,...
