A procedural manual for sampling and analyzing sanitary landfill
leachate was designed to guide sanitarians and other public health
officials in monitoring mineral and organic material drainage from
landfill sources. The manual was constructed to allow flexibility of
conducting analytical tests in a field or laboratory environment.
Step-by-step procedures for...
An ancient delta complex is partly recorded by the upper seven
formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group exposed on Mayne and
Samuel Islands of southwestern British Columbia. Features especially
suggestive of deltaic sedimentation here are: upward-coarsening
marine to fluvial sequences, cyclic repetition of facies, subaqueous
slumping, fluvial-marine interfingering, facies changes,...
The Duzel Rock area includes four square miles in the eastern
Paleozoic subprovince of the Klamath Mountains southeast of Fort
Jones, California. The structurally complex terraine is composed
of Silurian graywacke, post-Silurian phyllite, limestone and basalt
associations, and minor andesitic intrusive rocks.
Three groups of sedimentary and extrusive rocks have...
Six early to middle Tertiary geologic units crop out in the
Saddle and Humbug Mountain area. They include the late Eocene to
early Miocene Oswald West muds tones, the lower Silver Point and
the upper Silver Point tongues of the middle Miocene Astoria Formation,
and the middle Miocene Depoe Bay...
Persistent levels of high turbidity in the outflow from the
Prineville Reservoir led to development of relationships between
watershed soils, land use, and resource management and water
quality in the Upper Crooked River, Central Oregon.
Seven stations, strategically located for measurement of runoff
volume and water sample collection, were established...
The necessity for the evaluation of training methods on a between
methods basis is suggested. Current methods of training evaluations
are considered, and found to be generally deficient for their
lack of between technique comparisons. The necessity for an outline
of planned comparative analysis of training methods is indicated and...
Paleozoic limestones, dolomites, quartz arenites, and other
clastic rocks were mapped in the vicinity of Dobbin Summit and
Clear Creek in the central Monitor Range. Sedimentary rock units
present in this area represent the shallow-shelf eastern assemblage
and basin and also the basin-slope facies of the traditional limestoneclastic
assemblage.
The...
In light of the current world-wide energy situation,
the utilization of the immense reserves of geothermal
energy is being actively pursued. The thermal energy contained
in a geothermal reservoir is mainly stored in rocks,
but is also held in liquid water and/or steam. The generation
of electrical power from these...
The objective of this study was to determine the internal consistency
rating for the Film Test for Understanding Behavior (FUB)
and the three subscales within the test. An estimation formula which
contrasts sums of squares generated from an analysis of variance
was used to compute the internal consistency reliability coefficients...
The study measured and compared the philosophies of education of OSU graduates who are experienced teachers of vocational education and undergraduate vocational teacher trainees on an essentialist-progressive scale at OSU. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine if experienced teachers of vocational education and undergraduate vocational teacher trainees...
Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of environment
and several plant growth regulators on the physiology, quality,
and agronomic performance of snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. )
and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ). The potassium salts of
naphthenic acid and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, received particular
attention.
Application of potassium...
The purpose of the study was to compare perceptions by faculty,
students and administrators of the campus environments of eight small,
independent liberal arts colleges in Oregon and to determine if similar
or like perceptions of the environment lead to greater vitality in each
of the colleges studied. In the...
Research was undertaken to describe the teaching and learning
of science in a non-Western village with particular attention paid to
cultural parameters. Cognitive elements in a Philippine (Tagalog)
village and school were analyzed.
The local language was studied for its capacity of transmitting
scientific information. Verbal interaction in the science...
Introduction. The study was conducted in response to a need
for systematic analysis of the practice of granting academic credits
for prior off-campus learning. It was stimulated by a commitment
to the goal of facilitating student development and an interest in the
theory that such development can be enhanced through...
Vegetation as a soil-forming factor was studied under forest
transition and grass while attempting to keep other soil forming factors
constant in the western part of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The
physiographic units consist chiefly of the interior foothills and slopes
formed from an old basaltic flow with some interspersed...
The major purpose of this study was to determine if
there were significant differences in the self-concepts of
vocational education teacher-trainees, non-vocational education
teacher trainees and non-education students at
Montana State University.
Two hundred students were surveyed to determine if
there were any differences in self-concepts based on
either major...
