Habitat availability and use by an urban population of opossums
were studied with radio telemetry in Corvallis, Oregon in 1981 and
1982. For non-den observations, residential neighborhood types were
used about in the proportion available, agricultural/park/riverfront
neighborhood types were used in higher proportion than available, and
commercial/industrial neighborhood types were...
Products as diverse as soda-pop, fashion and
automobiles are selling to the tunes of classic and current
pop and rock music. The combination of MTV (Music
Television), the latest audio-visual technology, and the
replacement of movie stars by rock stars as the idols of
contemporary youth (Beckett, 1985; Hartman, 1987),...
Heavy mineral compositions of sands from Oregon beaches,
rivers and sea cliffs have been determined in order to examine the
causes of marked along-coast variations in the beach-sand
mineralogy. The study area extends southward from the Columbia
River to the Coquille River in southern Oregon. The heavy-mineral
compositions were determined...
One forty-item questionnaire (Cancer Nursing Outreach
Program Evaluation Tool) and one twenty-item questionnaire
(Cancer Attitude Survey) were submitted to a randomly
selected population of 200 employed associate, diploma and
baccalaureate degree nurses distributed among numerous
practice settings in the State of Oregon. Data were
analyzed using Analysis of Variance (fixed...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate supplementation methods and availability of selenium from environmental waste materials to grazing livestock as a potential means of waste recycling. One involved incorporation of wastes into salt for freechoice supplementation to the animals themselves, the second involved fertilizer amendments with wastes to grow Orchardgrass...
Renewed interest in the abandoned War Eagle Mine, which is
located in the center of the gold districts of central Idaho,
provided the opportunity for a detailed study of the deposit. The
goal of this study is to determine the genetic history of the deposit
with respect to regional mineralizing...
The black and white pattern formed when an individual word is
printed on a page was analyzed by the Fourier transform. The Fourier
transform produces a sequence of sinusodial functions, usually called
spatial frequencies, whose amplitudes depend upon the particular
pattern analyzed. These amplitudes were examined to determine if the...
Documentation of the side effects of pesticides on
arthropod natural enemies has expanded rapidly since the
1950's as part of an increase in non-target side effects
literature. Most reviews have been based on empirical
analysis of selected literature. The SELCTV database was
developed to make a larger information base accessible...
A control program restricting the use of second generation
cephalosporins was evaluated.
A retrospective cephalosporin use review was conducted at two
large teaching hospitals; the Veterans' Administration Medical
Center (VAMC) and the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). A
control program restricting the use of second generation cephalosporins
was in operation...
