In November 1990, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 5,
placing an ultimate ceiling on local property tax rates of 1.5% of
market value (excluding specific levies for capital expenditure). Any
resulting shortfalls in local education revenues are to be made up by
transfers from state funds, at the expense of...
A study is conducted to provide information useful to the future development of agro-pastoralists
in the Kolda Region through an economic and socio-cultural analysis of the
practice of stabling. Two main issues are addressed: the generation and distribution of
profits and the factors related to adoption of stabling. A partial...

The federal government is the largest single landowner in the 11 western states. The majority of federal lands is grazed by domestic livestock, a consumptive resource use. Communities have evolved dependent on traditional consumptive uses. Recently, non-traditional users today have contested public land management decisions and these users have become...
The conservation of open space will become increasingly important as populations expand and undeveloped land is converted to urban uses. The benefits derived from open space conservation include protecting and improving water quality, providing wildlife habitat, maintaining scenic amenities and rural character, and supplying certain recreational opportunities. This study utilizes...

A method has been developed for the continuous automated monitoring
of cardiac output in adult rainbow trout. Average cardiac output measured under
control conditions and varied environmental conditions of hypoxia and post-hypoxia
was significantly higher (P≤ 0.05) in male than female trout. The cardiac
output of trout in spawning condition...
The pesticide carbaryl is applied annually to tidelands in Willapa Bay and Grays
Harbor, WA to control populations of burrowing shrimp which modify sediments making
the habitat unsuitable for oyster culture. Fish trapped on sprayed mudflats are often killed,
but little is known about effects on fish present in subtidal...
The "equilibrium partitioning theory" is one of the most widely used models to evaluate the
bioavailability of sediment-associated, nonpolar, organic contaminants and it makes
specific assumptions regarding the factors that influence this bioavailability. The objective
of this research was to test two assumptions of this theory: (1) that benthic organisms...
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a
difference in the resources and library services in men's and
women's state prison facility libraries, and to determine to
what extent the librarians who administer services to inmates
in prisons believe the resources available are adequate in giving...

The ecology of netleaf hackberry (Celtis reticulata Torr.) is poorly known
throughout its broad western range. To gain some understanding of the species' basic
ecology, three components of its life history were studied. First, seed germination
requirements were analyzed under laboratory conditions. Second, hackberry population
dynamics were evaluated from tree...
