Abstract:: This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010. Prior to white settlement Oregon...

Abstract:: Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring methods...

Abstract:: This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805 Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy, The notion that the constituents present in...

Abstract:: Cell division in a heat synchronized Tetrahymena pyriformis (GL-I) cell can be delayed if the cell is exposed to X-irradiation (300 kVp, 20 mA, HVL = 0. 9 mm Cu, 25 R/ sec) prior to a critical time after the end of the synchronizing treatment (EST). At the critical time,...

Creator:: Taylor, H. Terry
Abstract:: In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance became very apparent with the general...

Creator:: Blaisdell, Muriel Louise
Abstract:: Mimicry, obscure colors, and secondary sexual colors were important classes of observations that were analyzed by nineteenth century biologists from several vantage points. Adherents of the doctrine of special creation of fixed species believed animal colors to be evidence of design; Darwin and Wallace and their successors suggested that a...

Abstract:: A biographical study of Denison Olmsted, focusing upon his own Christian world view and its connection with his various activities in science, supports the view that religion served as a significant factor in the promotion of science in America during this time period. Olmsted taught physics, meteorology and astronomy at...

Creator:: Willis, David L.
Abstract:: The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation, and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity. More importantly, the...
