The food consumption and growth of Pacific oyster larvae were studied in three experiments making use of a constant flow apparatus. The apparatus maintained a continuous flow of various densities of
algae through test chambers containing different numbers of larvae in a factorial design. Three additional experiments were conducted in...
This was a two part study to develop self-instructional material to meet the needs of students and teachers in an individualized clothing construction program.
First, two self-instructional kits were prepared, called Skills of Sewing Kits (SoS Kits), to teach stay-stitching and a lapped zipper application. Each kit contained guidelines for...
An investigation was undertaken to determine the role that temperature might play in limiting the distribution of the mountain beaver, Aplodontia rufa. A field study was carried on from August, 1965, through August, 1966, in the coast mountains of Benton County, Oregon, and consisted of measuring the annual temperature cycle...
Six groups of goats were used in the study. These were the normal group (Saanen, French Alpine, and Nubian breeds), 1/4 pygmy group (first backcross to normal), 1/2 pygmy group (F1) 3/4 pygmy group (first backcross to pygmy), 7/8 pygmy group (second backcross to pygmy), and pygmy group0 The mean...
Fishery biologists and watershed management specialists have recently begun to investigate the pollutional threat posed by organic debris left in or near the forest watercourses. Oxygen content in some streams has fallen below the limits required for fish survival. The biochemical oxygen demand exerted by the debris and the reaeration...
The bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera:
Scolytidae) has caused severe mortality in recent decades to young
stands of ponderosa pine in the western United States. Insect parasites
and predators, believed to be of importance in the population
dynamics of the beetle, were the subject of the thesis research, conducted...
The biomass and the composition of 15 stands of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) on river bottom sites in western Oregon was measured during August and early September, 1969. These stands ranged in age from two to 64 years. Biomass was found to vary from 134 k/ha (kilograms per hectare)...
The purpose of this study was to determine if infection levels of dwarf mistletoe on ponderosa pine could be detected with color aerial photography. The photography was taken in early September using Kodak Ektachrome Infrared Aero and Ektachrome Aero films at scales of 1/4000, 1/2000, and 1/1000. Ground truth consisted...
This study concerns the effect of pre-harvest killing of commercial
sized, forty year old western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla
(Raf.) Sarg.) on subsequent stump infection by Fomes annosus (Fr.)
Karst. Further evaluations were made on tree drying, loosening of
bark, wood deterioration and rate of crown and cambial death. Findings
on...
This study attempts to show that competitive advantage alone does not determine the directions of trade in kraft liner. Trade depends on comparative advantage and especially on familiarity with foreign demand. Implications from international trade theories guided this study of trade in kraft liner. Future demand in the E.E.C. for...
