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...
Life history attributes and apparent distributional
patterns suggest that Plethodon dunni exists as small, semi-isolated
populations throughout its range. Isozyme and morphological
variation in this species was examined to determine
any possible geographic trends.
Starch gel electrophoresis was utilized to examine
genetic variation at 24 isozyme loci in 287 individuals...
Relative effects of light, nutrients, and grazing on primary production were investigated in streams in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and in laboratory streams. Relative magnitudes of primary production and associated processes were examined for one year in a stream that flowed through a clearcut and an old-growth forest in...
A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at the Hyslop Crop
Science Field Laboratory near Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the optimum
capsule harvest date of Papaver bracteatum Lind. for thebaine yield
and oil yield, while maintaining an acceptable percentage of seed germination.

Purpose of the Study:
The School Health Fair is an experiential method used to supplement classroom theory in a teacher preparation course at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL). The purpose of this study was to determine how this method affected student attitude toward teaching. The following null hypotheses were...
Among sexually-active, young women, the motivation to contracept
seems to be more of an issue than the technology. This study explored
two factors associated with the motivation to contracept; specifically,
the relationship of sex role orientation (SRO), and locus of control
(LOC), to the contraceptive use patterns of 77 unmarried,...
Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to
test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level
intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated
whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement
in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics.
EQUATIONS is...
