This study was to look at: (1) the orientation subjects' had
toward the resolution of conflict situations, and (2) associations between
personality traits, selected demographic characteristics and
subjects' orientation to conflict resolution.
Procedures
Eighty-seven subjects, 23 male and 64 female...
Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into
physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for
hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for
estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected
the...
A wilderness area, as administered by the U. S. Forest Service, is a tract of undeveloped land over 100,000 acres in size with no roads or provision for motorized transportation. Commercial timber cutting, hotels, stores, and similar developments are prohibited. While there are some exceptions for private holdings and administrative...
School interventions have typically focused on academic and psychological outcomes for children, but can children carry positive effects home from school to influence their parents and home environments? Developmental research typically focuses on how parents influence development in their children, but this study flips this lens to ask whether children...
Parenting education is a process of providing information to parents on the
challenges of parenting, services available for families, and ideas on how to interact with
children. The federal Even Start family literacy program, designed to increase the
educational opportunities of parents and children, has a strong parenting education
component....
Cercocarpus ledifolius (curlleaf mountain- mahogany), a small, hardwood evergreen tree, was studied to provide information on germination and initial seedling growth characteristics, and the species' relationship to its environment.and associated vegetation. Exceptional germination for this species resulted from both a wet cold treatment at 4°C for 170 days (88 percent),...
A random utility model of trip demand for steelhead fishing is constructed by using a logit regression technique and data from the 1990 Oregon Angler Survey, conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The model is formulated to estimate demand when only the regional destination is known. Results...
Two strategic approaches to water quality control in Oregon's
Willamette River are presently being utilized: point source treatment
and flow augmentation. Dry weather releases from reservoirs are for
authorized purposes other than water quality. Reservoirs can participate
in pollution control by summer flow augmentation where authorized water
resource objectives (flood...
The basic objective of this thesis was to estimate the
economic effects of yield grade standards for carcass beef
on the various market sectors of the Canadian beef industry.
The adoption of the standards was expected to enhance
consumer demand, improve efficiency within the processing
and marketing services sectors, and...
Harvest scheduling and stand level optimization have
generally been regarded as separable problems. Some
studies have attempted to jointly optimize a wide range of stand treatments and a forest wide harvest schedule using combinations of mathematical programming techniques. The mathematical programming forest level techniques presume perfect information on production, costs...
