Wright's Point, a 250-foot-high, sinuous, flat-topped ridge, projects eastward into Harney Basin, Harney County, Oregon. This 6-mile-long feature ranges from 200 to 600 yards wide and merges with a broad mesa at its western end. The nearest topographic highs are Dog Mountain, 2 miles southwest, and foothills of the Blue...
Adaptive immune capabilities of the Urochordate S. montereyensis
were studied. Animals repeatedly injected with bacteria were bled and
the following properties were measured in vitro: agglutinin, bactericidin,
bacteria-cell association. Both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria
were isolated from the gut of S. montereyensis and used as antigens at
10⁸...
The use of credit cards by young families, their money management
practices, and the relationship between money management
practices and their control of credit card use was researched in this
study.
A sample of 60 Oregon families was drawn from the 1975 Johnson's
Albany Area City Directory. These families were...
The object of this research was to study the effect of readily
available carbohydrates (RAC) upon the utilization of urea in fattening
rations and to determine the effect upon carcass characteristics
that determine quality and yield grades. A 2 x 2 latin square designed
feedlot trial comparing urea at 0.5%...
Three species of bacteriophagous nematodes, Pristionchus
lheritieri (Maupas) Paramanov, Pelodera chitwoodi (Bassen)
Dougherty and Rhabditis sp. were studied to determine their potential
roles as vectors of selected insect pathogens, Bacillus thuringiensis
Berliner, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarrhizium
anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin and a nuclear polyhedrosis
virus of Trichoplusia ni Hubner.
Chlorine...
Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic
growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a
system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial
side of the shoot in response to vertical placement.
Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to
gravitational disorientation to determine...
The exact frequencies and mode shapes of flexural vibration of a
rotating beam are found. The beam has a linear mass and stiffness
distribution.
With certain simplifying assumptions, the kinetic and potential
energies of the rotating beam are found. Hamilton's principle is then
used to determine the equation governing the...
