Rehabilitation of Bully Creek Reservoir, its tributaries, and segments of the Malheur River system was completed in 1963. All waters treated supported large populations of undesirable fish. The treatment procedures are discussed by project segment within the report. A portion of the funds was appropriated by the U. S. Bureau...
"Crested wheatgrass, beardless wheatgrass, and big bluegrass were
seeded as overstory grasses. Streambank wheatgrass, canby bluegrass,
bulbous bluegrass, and Ladak alfalfa were seeded as companion species.
Pure and mixed stands were seeded on sagebrush-bunchgrass
range in eastern Oregon to compare yield and competitiveness. The
grasses were planted in 1956, 1957,...
The single-cross and most F₂ progenies of 19 genotypes of
tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb. ) were used to study the
breeding behavior of forage yield. Parental genotypes were selected
for high self-sterility, high chromogen and high crude protein. These
were studied in two groups of nine intermediate and ten...
A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
The purpose of this project was to study the reactions of 1-(α-pyridyl)-3-buten-1-ol (compound I) and to determine whether or
not the products of some of its reactions are quinolizinium salts.
Reaction of compound I with bromine or iodine yields halide
salts (when no external cooling is applied) instead of the...
Some forms of bacterial respiration do not involve molecular
oxygen but instead utilize other hydrogen acceptors for oxidation
of the substrate. Various organic and inorganic acceptors may be
used. In the present study, the inorganic radicals, nitrate and
nitrite, were investigated. Preliminary evidence indicated that
nitrate and oxygen are able...
Because the life processes of the plant are related in a complex
way to the balance between the water demand of the atmosphere and
the water availability to the plant root, an exploration of the dynamic
status of water in the plant is very important. The stomata constitute
the main...
Cardicola alseae is a blood dwelling trematode found in the
fishes Salmo clarki henshawi and Salmo gairdneri gairdneri. Eggs
which were ovoid in shape and non-operculate left the adult and passed
to the gill capillaries of the secondary lamellae. The miracidium was
ovoid, 0.070 mm. long by 0.052 mm. wide,...
The first cycle of seismic waves recorded at distances of 45,
300 and 355 km. from the GNOME nuclear explosion was used to determine
whether the near source wave characteristics at 0.3 km.
could be determined from distance measurements. Both head wave
and body wave propagation were considered. First the...
A method of calculating the normal vibrations of polymer molecules
is presented in detail. The method is based on that used by
Schachtschneider and Snyder in their analysis of polypropylene but
has not heretofore been published. The factoring of the infinite matrix

Consider the estimation of the category proportions in a
multinomial population from a sample which is "censored" in the
sense that under an appropriate, unknown permutation of the sample
categories, the population proportions are all known. We are considering
the estimation of an ordered set of sample proportions, known
except...

Miller Lake was chemically treated with toxaphene on September 16, 1958 to destroy a population of parasitic lamprey (E.tridentatus) and Tui Chub (Siphatelep bicolor). Toxaphene was applied at the rate of 0.04 ppm. No lamprey or fish have been collected in the lake since the chemical treatment. Work since 1959...

A biochemical study of aging was conducted on mitochondria
from the embryo axes of germinating new and old soybean seeds.
Differential phosphorylative efficiency, an average P/O ratio of 3.03
of the new material compared to 1.44 of the old, was obtained when
all the co-factors and substrate were provided. No...
Prevailing concepts relating to the non-enzymatic gaseous
loss of nitrite from soil are thought to be inadequate as regards
to the mechanisms involved. The conventional explanation for
nitric oxide formation i.e., the acid decomposition of nitrite,
is held to be insufficient in substrates of only mild or slight
acidity. A...
"The purpose of this report is to discuss the general status of the Dungeness crab fishery in Oregon, to present the information available concerning the opening date of the 1964 season, and to inform the commission as to the merits of some regulation changes being considered by the staff."

The incitant of Verticillium wilt of peppermint (Verticillium
dahliae Kleb.) causes disease symptoms only in the genera Mentha
(the mints) and Monarda. This fungus is unable to grow saprophytically
through natural soil. V. dahliae survives in soil by colonizing
and forming microsclerotia in susceptible plants, living root tissue
of many...
During the spring of 1963 and 1964 an investigation of a small
mammal community was made in McDonald Forest, near Corvallis, Oregon.
The revised North American Census of Small Mammals procedure was
used, and from this census the species composition of the community
was determined. The relationships of several genera...
Digestibility experiments were carried out with dairy heifers to
determine the digestibility of orchard grass, Dactylis glomerata, and
also to evaluate the accuracy of various indicator techniques in pasture
digestibility experiments. Chromic oxide was used as an external
indicator to predict fecal dry matter output in three digestion
trials. Cut...
Seventeen parental clones were selected, from 9,000 plants,
on the basis of self-sterility, seed and forage yield potential using
phenotypic ratings, crude protein and chromogen content. The parental
clones were divided into two populations based on date of maturity.
Group I was intermediate in maturity and had nine parental
clones,...
This thesis is concerned with near source primary seismic waves generated by, the Gnome, Hardhat, Shoal and Haymaker underground nuclear explosions. Records of ground motion between 0.3 and 20.0 kilometers from the sources were analyzed in terms of displacement amplitude and energy variations with distance. The observed data have been...
This investigation was undertaken to characterize and evaluate
the forage production and utilization of the successional vegetation
of the mixed conifer forest.
Field studies were carried out during the summers of 1962
through 1964 at the Eastern Oregon Experiment Station Hall Ranch
which is located 12 miles southeast of Union,...
The effect of a pulse produced by an acoustic or electromagnetic
line source oriented parallel to the edge of a perfectly conducting
half plane is considered. The Green's functions for the modified
Helmholtz equation are found by solving for the Green's functions
for a cylinder of sectorial cross-section, then allowing...
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this research was to study the school districts
in Umatilla County as they existed in 1962-3 and to formulate a
guide for reorganization of these districts into sound efficient units.
The following sub-factors were considered essential to this research,
and were dealt with...

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of
hosiery made from a new fiber, polypropylene, with the performance
of hosiery made from a better known fiber, nylon, and to get
some indication of consumer reaction to a new textile product.

Preparation of a cytochrome c-cytochrome oxidase complex
was achieved, using crystalline beef cytochrome c and purified
cytochrome oxidase from beef heart muscle, or from the
Keilin-Hartree preparation. Succinate oxidase was reconstituted
with the complex.
A mixture of cytochrome oxidase, solubilized with nonionic
detergent, and excess cytochrome c was exposed to...
Eight experiments, two with poults and six with chicks, were
undertaken to determine the requirement for supplemental folic acid
as related to protein level and major protein source. Protein levels
for chicks and poults were 21, and 28 or 28 and 32%, respectively.
Major protein sources were soybean meal, fish...
Although much information is available on lipids in serum and
red cells, only limited data have been reported for white cells and
platelets. In a recent investigation in this laboratory, the concentrations
of cholesterol in the several blood fractions were compared.
The high amounts of cholesterol found in white cell-platelet...
Solar radiation intensities, incident to the sea surface off the Oregon
coast, are measured and compared. Simplification of some physical
and biological problems can be anticipated if the average radiation
received over a broad segment of ocean can be accurately indicated
by the amount recorded at the land station.
