The gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) demonstrated a
requirement for selenium and vitamin E. Animals deficient in both
nutrients suffered from liver necrosis and an unthrifty condition
characterized by inappetence, profuse diarrhea, and swollen eyes.
Vitamin E appeared less effective than selenium as a prophylaxis
against this syndrome.

Competition for the conventional supply of wood residue utilized
by the particleboard industry is increasing. Utilization of low
quality residues by the pulp and paper industry, new sawmill and
plywood recovery techniques, and the growing practice of converting
low quality residues into steam and electrical power have all cut into...
Winter recreation has increased rapidly in the Crater Lake -
Diamond Lake area of Oregon in recent years. Park and forest
managers are concerned about existing and potential impacts of the
recreationists on the resources and other recreationists.
The purpose of this study was to describe the nature and extent...
Investigations were conducted to determine the nature, type,
functional properties and the amounts of different proteins found in
bovine rumen tissue.
Data concerning the effect of pH and salt concentration on
the extractability of proteins from rumen tissue indicated that 92%
of the proteins could be extracted in aqueous solutions...
The viability of incorporating optimization within budgeting
methodologies is examined.
Resource Planning and Management System and optimization are
proposed as tools to enhance the planning and control functions of the
budgeting process. Three hypotheses are proposed: (1) Integer
Programming, Integer Goal Programming and Dynamic Programming
can be substituted in place...
The main objective of this study was to determine appropriate
accelerated aging methods for exterior plywood made with Southeast
Asian hardwood face veneers. A secondary objective of this study
was to determine the durability of exterior plywood made with keruing
(12 Dipterocarpus spp.).
To reach these objectives I made plywood...
The capacity for root growth and concentration of indole-3-acetic acid and abscisic acid in the roots of western hemlock seedlings was investigated. The root regenerating capacity (RRC) was defined as the increase in root length, greater than 5 mm, following a 28-day test period. RRC measurements over a two-year period...
