Many changes have been taking place in Oregon's agriculture.
Average size of farms has increased. The trend is toward fewer
but larger, highly mechanized farms, leading to changed demand
for farm machinery and consequently changes in farm machinery
firms to meet the changing demands of farmers. In general, the
research...
This research design was based upon the mutual relevance
between the fields of education and anthropology to cause cognitive
cultural awareness by the teachers of adults as well as visibility
within the Mexican American ethnic group.
Specifically the purpose of this study was twofold:. (1) to
determine whether the adult...
Investigations were conducted to determine whether the low molecular weight nitrogen compounds and the extra protein complex of bovine psoas major muscle were altered during a 12-day aging period.
Electrophoretic studies of soluble proteins either before or after gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 columns indicated that the soluble proteins were...
The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of
temperature, nutrients, growth regulators, and culm detachment
during seed development on ryegrass seed dormancy and weight.
The effects of storage temperature on seed dormancy were also
studied.
Seed dormancy of annual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and
perennial (Lolium perenne L.)...
Straw has many uses, as feed, roughage, animal bedding, but
these requirements are not sufficient to utilize the available production.
In areas where grasskseed is produced, post-harvest straw is
burned in the field to help prevent crop disease the following year.
This treatment is very wasteful in terms of straw...
Of the common adult lanternfishes found off Oregon, two
species have fat-invested swimbladders (Stenobrachius
leucopsarus Eigenmann and Eigenmann 1890 and Stenobrachius
nannochir Gilbert 1891), two species have reduced swimbladders
(Lampanyctus ritteri Gilbert 1915 and Lampanyctus galis
Gilbert 1891), two species have gas-filled swimbladders
((Protomyctophum thomp soni (Chapman 1944)) and (Protomyctophum...
Environmental swabs and meat samples from two of three seafood
processing plants sampled on the Oregon Coast were found to
contain Salmonella. Although these enteropathogens were not isolated
from the finished products, the danger of contamination is great
since the processing received by many seafoods is not designed to
yield...
The purpose of the research was to investigate the chemical
composition of five starches and the physical characteristics of their
respective starch pastes as these properties relate to the characteristics
of starch-structured breads. Starch-structured breads were prepared
with five starches, corn, wheat, potato, arrowroot and waxy
maize, used as granular...
