This study expresses the hypothesis that historical patterns of national beef cow herd accumulation and liquidations (the cattle cycle) have been related to investment incentive differences across cow ages through time, resulting each year in changes in herd age structure,
performance and potentials for adjustment in subsequent years. A review...
Draft report. "An important recreational fishery has developed in the last five years in Yaquina Bay, targeting primarily on fish returning to a private hatchery facility. We have no specific creel information from this fishery and this census begins to fill that gap." (from the Introduction)

Hop tissue (Humulus lupulus L.) was grown in vitro in
callus, suspension, and protoplast cultures. Medium
components were evaluated for optimal callus growth.
Solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with picloram at 1.5
uM, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) at 10 uM, 1 g/1 casein
hydrolysate, and 100 mg/1 citric acid induced white,...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' field. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications, Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with equipment ranging from precision plot sprayers to quart...
A study of precipitation and yield levels in fallow-wheat rotations at three
Pacific Northwest locations demonstrated that in the Columbia Plateau region,
the variability and skewness of precipitation increased with decreasing mean
amounts of precipitation. The seasonal distribution of precipitation had a
marked effect on wheat yield. Comparisons of precipitation...
This study involved the determination of the structural layer properties of
aggregate and asphalt surfaced pavements for use in the evaluation of pavement load
carrying capacity and the seasonal effects of moisture. This was achieved by the use
of Nondestructive Testing Methods (NDT) and backcalculation techniques. Pavement
surface deflection measurements...
