This research focuses on the anaerobic transformation of trichloroethylene (TCE) that is occurring in the subsurface of the Evanite site in Corvallis, OR. Two anaerobic studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron donors during the anaerobic degradation of trichlorofluoroethylene (TCFE), and...
The temperature-dependent development of pupae and adults of strawberry root weevil (SRW) Otiorhynchus ovatus (L.) was studied in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. var. 'Totem'). The development of pupae and adults was investigated at constant temperatures from 3-33°C at 3°C intervals. Major emphasis was on the development of a weighted...
The purpose of the present study was to test the selfconcept
and store image congruency theory with an elderly
population. The self-concept and store image congruency
theory predicts that individuals patronize stores that they
perceive as having an image similar to their own self-concept
(Martineau, 1958). The present study specifically...
The aim of this investigation was to develop an Adjustment Assessment Instrument for Omani College Students. The adjustment instrument items were constructed and grouped into academic, family, social and personal adjustment areas common to Omani college students. The content validity of the adjustment instrument was determined by utilizing two Delphi...
The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations
led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for
the first nuclear waste repository in the United States. To adequately evaluate the
environmental impact of siting nuclear waste repositories in basalt...
Urinary steroids have been studied during early and late pregnancy in
domestic horses or sporadic samples at various stages of pregnancy in wild
equidae. In our studies, urinary estrone sulfate (E1S) and pregnanediol
glucuronide (PdG) were monitored throughout pregnancy in six pony mares by
enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Both hormones were...
After three-quarters of a century of introduction of 152 conifer and broadleaf species,
no promising candidate exotic was found for the Douglas-fir region. Growth curves
spanning 50 years or longer are figured for many species. Firs, pines, larches, spruces,
hemlocks, and cedars originating in northwestern North America had superior growth...
