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...
This thesis describes a control tool for managers of a
Broiler Breeder Farm, a farm which raises chickens for the purpose
of fertile egg production. It presents the development of
a simulation of a Broiler Breeder Farm which uses a deterministic
step by step process to generate expected values of...
Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) were observed during
the summers of 1979 and 1980 in Sawmill Bay, northeast Prince William
Sound, Alaska. Harlequins were associated with a short, medium gradient,
non-glacial stream (Stellar Creek) also used by salmon. Although
harlequins nested along Stellar Creek, they apparently did not establish
home ranges...
This study was undertaken in a Red Delicious apple orchard in
Oregon's Hood River Valley to determine if low leaf P concentrations
were contributing to such observed, orchard disorders as poor shoot
growth, shoot dieback and. small fruit size at harvest.
Subsurface applications of lime and superphosphate had no
effect...
Plasma sources with multiple electrodes have been developed and
characterized in this research for atomic emission spectroscopy.
Multi-electrode plasma sources use electrodes to shape the plasma in
order to continuously entrain a sample stream in the center of hot
plasma, in a manner similar to an inductively coupled plasma (ICP)...
The dramatic upsurge of contract-supported archaeological activity,
generated by legislative action, has precipitated an increase
in information about Oregon's prehistoric peoples. This information,
however, has not been presented in a format which can be easily
understood by the general public.
This study presents an account of early peoples in Oregon,...
Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and...
