Oregon State Federal Credit Union (OSU FCU) members' attitudes
toward proposed services, and the association between the importance
rating of a "common bond" (loyalty) and use of selected services of
the OSU FCU were examined. The study utilized data from the member
survey commissioned in 1982 by the OSU FCU...
Historically, coding theory has dealt with binary
codes correcting symmetric errors, in which errors are
made in both 0 and 1 bits with equal likelihood.
Within the past ten years, some study has been made of
asymmetric codes, under the assumption that the only
errors which occur are errors in...
K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar geochronologic
data reveal the Paleocene to Eocene eruptive
history of volcanic centers which produced the
basaltic basement rocks of the Coast Range of
Oregon and Washington. Volcanism was short
lived at each center and migrated with time from
the northern and southern ends toward the
center, near...
Multiprocessor computers may eventually be the only method of
increasing computer throughout. One of the major problems with
multiprocessor computers is the interference or contention between
processors when accessing a shared resource. This work describes the
design, construction, and analysis of a prototype multiprocessor computer utilizing a replicated shared memory...
Perennial woody plants have a complex annual cycle keyed to the environment. Temperate plants have an annual dormant period commonly broken by exposure to low temperatures, although daily photoperiods of 16 hours or longer may partially substitute for the chilling. Shoot growth in the spring is normally stimulated by rising...
Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based
upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure.
Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic
approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by
means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic
approaches are, under certain...
I have investigated nucleoprotein organization in
chromatin of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. My
approach has been to prepare insoluble, minimally per
turbed chromatin from a mitochondrial DNA-free strain of
yeast, using a number of new techniques, and then digest
this substrate with micrococcal nuclease. The soluble
products are electrophoresed on...
