Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village
complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal
bones recovered from the site offer the first significant
insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region.
Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented,
detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were
the primary meat resource...
Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and
anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was
examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton);
a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster);
and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow
trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton...
Thirty-four current worksite health promotion programs were
studied in order to obtain comprehensive information about various components
involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of existing
programs, and to acquire the necessary data to develop a theory and corresponding
hypotheses pertaining to successful worksite health promotion
programs. The case study...
In order to estimate wind turbine residL2;characteristics
in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, the important atmospheric
sources for the force excitations felt by the wind turbine system
must be identified and characterized. The goal of this research
is to develop the wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis
wind turbines....
A five year longitudinal study was begun in 1976 to find a
solution to the problem of early primary children who fail in school
and then adopt the failure syndrome. The study was conducted in four
elementary schools in Oregon which had distinctly different
socio-economic populations.
The tests used for...

The use of grass cover crops is a recommended practice in
nonirrigated vineyards in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Two
studies were initiated to investigate the competitive and
noncompetitive effects of grass cover crops on the growth and
development of Pinot noir grapevines. Two greenhouse pot culture
experiments were performed to...
Blood, liver, kidney, femur, and ovaries were assayed
from female Wistar rats following oral administration of
uranyl nitrate. Three uranium concentrations were
studied for six time periods ranging from 4 hours to 240
hours following gavage. Uranium burdens of tissues were
determined by neutron activation and delayed fission
neutron counting...
The Pacific salmon market may often be characterized by
disequilibrium conditions and less than perfect information. Thus the
study of the decision-making behavior, especially short-run pricing,
of wholesale market participants in this industry requires the use of
alternative models to the conventional, price-taking, perfect
competition model of the firm.
This...
