In 1968, a study conducted by the sanitarians of the State Health Division and Benton County Health Department revealed a high failure rate of on-site sewage disposal systems in Southwest Corvallis. The survey team concluded that sewage disposal in this area was inadequate, and a significant health hazard existed due...
This study was a comparison of the prevalence of infectious
gastrointestinal disease and the quality of construction of individual,
surface source water systems in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Two measurement instruments were developed for this study. An
objective instrument was developed to determine if the water systems
observed in the study...
This study examined the existence and effectiveness of current
pesticide management programs in the Caribbean region. A questionnaire
was developed to assess the current pesticide managment programs in
the Caribbean region and to determine the strengths and weaknesses of
the existing education and training programs, governmental policies,
and other resources....
The sea offers a wide variety of potentially useful resources. Marine algae have been a rich source of structurally unique natural products showing diverse biological properties. The current need to develop new antifungal, antibiotic, anticancer and antiviral drugs has prompted intense research efforts into the discovery, isolation and structure determination...
Farlowia mollis is a marine red alga that grows in the
intertidal region along the coast of Oregon. We began studying
the chemistry of this alga after a survey of Oregon seaweeds
revealed possibly interesting chemistry and antimicrobial activity
in its crude organic extract.
Over the past three years the...
A field study was established to determine the impact of interfering vegetation on survival and growth of Engelmann spruce (Piceaeigelmannii Parry) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var contorta Dougi.) at a site in the high elevation Engelmann spruce-Subalpine fir (ESSF) zone, of south-central British Columbia. The study examined (1) the...
Stocking levels and height growth rates of noble fir and
associated species were measured on 51 clearcut study areas within
the Pacific silver fir zone of the Oregon and Washington Cascades.
Clearcut study areas were approximately 20 years old and had either
planted noble fir or natural regeneration of noble...
The 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens damaged or destroyed vegetation on more than 66,100 hectares (270,000 acres) within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The effects of the eruption on planting sites and seedling performance were unknown. Regeneration of "cut over" lands near Mount St. Helens has historically been limited...
