The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

Relationships between fish species distribution and habitat in the Willamette River drainage in western Oregon

Creator:: Kruse, Amy Ellen
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to (1) describe physical environmental conditions and species composition at several sites along an Upstream/downstream gradient in a number of tributaries of the Willamette River in western Oregon; and (2) identify possible relationships between species distributional patterns and physical habitat parameters using detrended correspondence...

The employment and career situation of women, age 40 and older, who have received services from a rural displaced homemaker program

Creator:: Carpenter, Jill L.
Abstract:: The literature defines a displaced homemaker as a woman who has worked primarily without remuneration to care for the home and family (U.S. Congress, 1977). Federally funded displaced homemaker programs are provided to help these women move from dependency to self-sufficiency (Displaced Homemakers Network, 1986). The purpose of this study...

Smalltalk and exploratory programming

Creator:: Sandberg, David W.
Abstract:: Using Smalltalk-80, programmers can produce prototypes much faster than with C or Pascal. What techniques do Smalltalk-80 programmers use to produce these prototypes? What is special about Smalltalk-80 that enables them to uses these techniques? Can these techniques be used with conventional languages such as C? In an attempt to...

A comparison of reverse- and forward-chaining instructional methods on a motor task with mentally retarded individuals

Creator:: Hsu, Pao-yin
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the reverse-chaining and forward-chaining instructional methods in teaching a motor task to mentally retarded individuals. The subjects were selected from Fairview Training Center, Salem, Oregon. Each of the subjects was classified as mentally retarded with a range from moderate to severe retardation....

Technological progress, disacculturation, and our public schools

Creator:: Morita, Sally J.
Abstract:: The problems facing our nation's public schools today cannot be divorced from our enthusiasm for technology and the positive relationship we believe it shares with our perception of progress. Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy, author Jeremy Rifkin argues that the development of increasingly "efficient"...

Reed Ferris' 1930-1943 bird banding records and bird observations for Tillamook County, Oregon

Creator:: Bayer, Range D., 1947- and Ferris, Reed William, 1901-
Abstract:: This monograph gives a brief biography of Reed W. Ferris and discusses his vocational and avocational work at the Beaver cheese factory in Tillamook County, Oregon. From 1930 to 1943, Ferris banded nearly 33% of the birds banded along the Oregon coast that were later recovered. Ferris banded 8,000 seabirds...

Mixing in the equatorial surface layer and thermocline

Creator:: Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140°W) in November 1984 showed a surprisingly strong effect of both the daily cycle of solar heating and wind on mixing in the upper ocean. Because of limited variations in atmospheric forcing and currents during the experiment, processes in the daily mixing...

Comment on "seasonal variation in wind speed and sea state from global satellite measurements"

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: In a recent paper, Sandwell and Agreen [1984; hereafter SA] presented figures of global seasonal wind speed and sea state as measured by the GEOS 3 satellite altimeter. Since that time, Chelton and McCabe [1985; hereafter CM] have found that problems exist in the algorithms used to retrieve wind speed...

Sea surface water motion off Chile latitudes18°S-40°S, revealed from satellite images ofchlorophyll and temperature distribution

Creator:: Espinoza, Felix R.
Abstract:: The mesoscale sea-surface circulation pattern within 400 km off Chile and between 18°S and 40°S latitude is described using chlorophyll and temperature images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner NIMBUS-7 satellite. The data base is a set of four mosaics developed from band-3 (550 nm) images taken on June 4...
