The fleshy carpophores of fungi fruiling, on soil and litter were collected from watersheds 2, 3, and 10, IBP sites located in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest near Blue River, Oregon (122° W, 44° N). No effort was made to systematize collections: all
carpophores in fresh condition seen were taken....
Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied
to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes
which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed.
A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land
surveys on settlement, is given....
Effect of temperature on seed dormancy, alpha-amylase activity and kernel weight in five wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties was studied. Three ripening temperature conditions - 15.5°C, 26.6 °C and "Field" were used to induce dormancy. Alpha-amylase activity and kernel weight of developing kernels was determined every ten days after anthesis...
This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of
constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805
Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography
since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy,
The notion that the constituents present in...
Sixteen secondary school health teachers evaluated their own
course teaching performance. Students in each of these courses
evaluated the same teacher and the results were compared. An
adapted version of a teacher rating form developed by the School of
Agriculture, Oregon State University, was used by all study participants.
Teacher...
Three studies during three consecutive summers were conducted
at the Squaw Butte Experiment Station to estimate relative and quantitative
forage intake of spring and fall calving cow-calf pairs on
summer range. In a drylot study (experiment 1) individual animal
consumption of fescue or meadow hay cut at 2- to 10-day...
The application of the least squares adjustment techniques to the
area of surveying has been considered and two computer programs
called HCONTRL and VCONTRL are developed for horizontal and vertical
control respectively. The principle of least squares is discussed
in chapter II. The observation and condition equations are compared
and...
Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by
developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the
discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious
effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the
injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring
methods...
The behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was assessed
with and without exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1260).
After describing the crab's behavioral repertoire, activity budgets were
developed from observations of the time crabs spent in 20 categories of
shelter use, posture, and activity while held in habitat replicas...
