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...
The positions of the DNase I hypersensitive sites within the
galactose gene cluster of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaa have
been determined. When yeast nuclei were incubated with DNase I, the
purified DNA restriction endonuclease digested and analyzed by
Southern hybridization, five hypersensitive regions were observed in
this cluster of three...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
The purpose of the workshop was to exchange information on sampling procedures, research methodologies, preparation and
interpretation of specimen material, terminology, and the application
and significance of findings, emphasizing the relationship of dendrochronology procedures to fire history interpretations.

Volcanic activity during the Tertiary has long been held
responsible for the deaths and subsequent fossilization of the
vertebrate populations of the John Day region in Oregon. Oreodonts
as plains or savannah dwelling ruminant herbivores, were likely to
have been subject to potential exposure throughout their lifetime
to volcanic debris...
A sensitive assay for the analysis of contaminating segments
in pseudorecombinants constructed from a seed-transmissible (CVM-Pg)
and a non-seed-transmissible (CMV-Le) strain of cucumber mosaic
virus was developed using partial RNase T₁ digestion. Isolated
genomic RNA segments produced unique digestion patterns when 3'-
end labeled, treated with RNase T₁, and subjected...
The population of Catostomus rimiculus from Jenny Creek basin is identified as a dwarfed derivative of the normally much larger C. rimiculus from the Klamath and Rogue River systems. C. rimiculus in Jenny Creek basin are separated from those in the Klamath by a series of 3-10m waterfalls resulting from...
This index provides access to infonnation about women in 102 books and journals. The information contained in each entry is only as good as the original and the quality varies considerably. Much of this infonnation has not before been easily accesible in this form. My hope is that this index...
Over the last decade a new perspective on how forest ecosystems operate has emerged. Ecosystems appear much more flexible than we once thought. Even the most persistent is still evolving in composition. Yet for all their diversity, very similar processes are seen as operating in all forests, providing a point...
Hart Mountain is a basaltic fault block mountain
in the semi-desert region of the northern Basin and Range
province in south-central Oregon. Geomorphic processes
associated with lingering snowpatches have formed nivation
hollows, which are small scale depressions in the hillsides.
The lingering snow in the hollows prohibits shrub
growth. Bedrock...
The toxicity of menthol, menthone, pulegone, limonene, and a-pinene, five monoterpenes found in peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), to the variegated cutworm (Peridroma saucia Hiibner) was characterized by in vivo and in vitro methods. Pulegone and menthone caused slower growth over six days when incorporated into an artificial diet and fed...

Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive
slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is
largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with
Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with
Picea mariana. In this study, I...
Revised edition of the author's "Vegetation of Oregon and Washington", originally published by the U.S. Forest Service in 1973. Reprinted with new bibliographic supplement by the OSU Press in 1988.
The purpose of this study was to propose recommendations
for improved diffusion of clothing information to
orthopedically limited adults.
A sample of 180 orthopedically limited adults residing
in the Willamette Valley of Oregon was selected using
mailing lists from the Oregon Governor's Conference for the
Handicapped, from Oregon State University...
