Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of
the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2,
1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water
upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations
( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....
The primary purpose of this research study was to determine whether
significant differences occurred in the amount of knowledge achieved as
a result of using Braille or compressed speech as learning modes.
Biographic/demographic characteristics such as present age, highest
educational level achieved, age at loss of vision, age at initial...
Concerns regarding maintaining wheat yield per hectare and extending
the commercial life expectancy of cultivars grown in the Yaqui
Valley of Mexico prompted this investigation. Four genetically diverse
spring wheat cultivars were grown in pure stands and in all possible
combinations at the Northwest Agricultural Research Center at Ciudad

"We continued our studies of the distribution of bay clams in Oregon's estuaries, Maps showing the distribution of clams and vegetation type in Umpqua and Coos bays are presented. . . We continued to monitor the growth of laboratory produced clams planted in Netarts and Yaquina bays." (from the Abstract)...
Meteorological aspects of geothermal energy development are first
discussed in general terms. An instructive case study is then presented
of a hypothetical 100 MW geothermal electrical generating plant at
a site near Vale, Oregon. Long-term climate data from Ontario Airport
near Ontario, Oregon, are used to describe meteorological characteristics
of...
