The foliose lichen Lobaria oregana (Tuck.) Mti 11. Arg. is an
important component of the upper canopy epiphyte community in oldgrowth
Douglas fir forests of the Pacific Northwest. L. oregana
contains the secondary phycobiont, Nostoc sp. , which is capable of
fixing nitrogen. This thesis presents a new non-destructive method...
The principle purpose of this study was to determine
the effectiveness of human relations-sensitivity training on
the self concept of low income high school students. The
sample group consisted of 47 low income high school students
attending the 1978 Summer Upward Bound program at Oregon
State University. Participants were randomly...
This was an experimental study designed to compare the effectiveness
of computer-assisted laboratory instruction to teacher-assisted
laboratory instruction based on student achievement in Elementary
Business Statistics. Computer-assisted laboratory materials and an
Elementary Business Statistics achievement test were evaluated.
Procedures
The setting of this experiment was at Southern Oregon State
College,...
This study investigated a solution technique to shorten the calculation
time required for determining power losses of the different
resonant modes of oscillation in the Fabry-Perot optical cavity.
The first comprehensive analytic study of the Fabry-Perot
optical resonator was made by A. G. Fox and Tingye Li of Bell
Laboratories....
Finite order autoregressive models for time series are often
used for prediction and other inferences. Given the order of the
model, the parameters of the models can be estimated by least
squares, maximum likelihood, or the Yule-Walker method. The
basic problem is estimating the order of the model. A number...
