We report results from a field experiment evaluating the effectiveness of mowing, mowing and herbicides, and burning on woody plants, key native and non-native grasses and forbs, and the Fender’s blue butterfly. The goal was to find a technique that controlled woody pest plants without harming native species or promoting...
The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management propose to adopt coordinated ecosystem management direction for the lands they administer within the range of the northern spotted owl. This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS) presents as alternatives the options, with slight modifications, developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment...
The Vizcaino block is an anomalously shallow region of the western U.S continental margin located southwest of the Mendocino triple junction. It originated as part of the accretionary prism of the North America plate and was transferred to the Pacific plate in the Miocene as the Pacific-North America plate boundary...
Models of magnetic and gravity anomalies along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon, one of which is coincident with a detailed velocity model, provide quantitative limits on the structure of the subducting oceanic crust and the crystalline backstop. The models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane,...
The subduction of the oceanic spreading center at the Chile Triple Junction is marked by a substantial thermal perturbation
and marked changes in the hydrogeologic and aqueous geochemical regimes in the overthrust plate. Ridge subduction substantially
changes the fluid chemistry in the wedge through variably hydrating the oceanic basement, accretionary...
Oxygen and strontium isotopic composition of sedimentary pore fluids obtained by drilling at the Chile Triple Junction have been used to obtain information on the diagenesis and transport mechanisms of fluids. Samples were collected from three sites located on an east-west transect of the pre-collision zone (Sites 859, 860, and...

Microcomputers are being used in teaching and learning
mathematics. This paper examines ways that computers can be used
to enhance teaching in precalculus mathematics. The advantages of
computers discussed are: 1) instant access to graphs, 2) examples
that are not oversimplified to make computations manageable, 3)
encouragement of hypothesizing and...
Alcohol use/abuse among college students is a serious concern for
higher education. Despite efforts to address this problem student
use/abuse of alcohol continues. The purpose of this study was to
determine which of three alcohol education instructional approaches
more significantly impacted students' attitudes regarding the acceptance
of alcohol use/abuse. Three...
