A study of orientation and homing in brush rabbits, Sylvilagus
bachmani ubericolor (Miller), was conducted on the E. E. Wilson
Game Management Area 7 miles north of Corvallis, Oregon, between
July 1967 and April 1969. Sixty-seven individual rabbits were fitted
with radio-transmitters and returned to the field. Home ranges were...
This study describes Extension field staff orientations toward
poverty. Expressions on origins, solutions and definitions of poverty
were elicited from informants. Responses were then classified by
categories, coded and analyzed using the Statistical Interactive Programming
System (SIPS). Orientations were then measured by identifying
modal categories. A category was identified as...

This study was to look at: (1) the orientation subjects' had
toward the resolution of conflict situations, and (2) associations between
personality traits, selected demographic characteristics and
subjects' orientation to conflict resolution.
Procedures
Eighty-seven subjects, 23 male and 64 female...
Relatively simple methods are developed for obtaining discreet
orientation characterization of preferred orientation from x-ray
diffraction-determined pole figure data. It is demonstrated how this
information, along with the single crystal elastic constants, can be
used to calculate Young's modulus as a function of sheet direction.
Computer programs are developed for...
The study determines and compares the characteristics of
innovators (defined as purchasers of wood furniture of similar
line, curve, mass, function, and cost).
Null hypotheses were written predicting that there would be
no difference between innovation in purchase of furniture and age,
creativity, social participation, socio-economic level, exposure
to mass...
The purpose of the study was to investigate relationships among
time orientation, clothing influentials, importance of selected garment
characteristics, sources of clothing information, and clothing values.
The measures developed for the study were a clothing influential
measure, a garment characteristic measure, and a source of clothing
information measure.
Two measures...
The purpose of this study was to explore the association
between sex-role orientation and contraceptive behavior
in an unmarried population. One hundred and twentyeight
sexually active unmarried college students comprised
the sample. The test instrument was made up of the Sex-
Role Stereotypic Questionnaire developed by Rosenkrantz,
Vogel, Bee, Broverman,...
We have developed a method for the determination of the orientational distribution function of partially ordered systems from the EPR line shape that is an alternative to the usual one of expansion in the elements of the Wigner rotation matrices. The method can be applied to distribution functions whose expansion...
The fracture mechanics of Charpy V-notch specimens of
Zircaloy-4 and phosphorus contaminated Zircaloy-4 were
investigated. Three-point bend and impact tests with Charpy
V-notch samples provided an efficient and economical method
of fracture evaluation. Fracture failure was monitored by
the force-displacement curve. Failure was initially
analyzed using fracture toughness values as...
