In Oregon, "Incompetent to Stand Trial (1ST) Patients" were observed to be increasing in number, remaining in the hospital longer, and costing more to treat. A study was designed to investigate variables that could be used to predict their length of stay at Oregon State Hospital. Data for thirteen independent...
In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs
were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van
Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait.
The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated
into 282 taxa, including 108 species...
This thesis reports on the crystal growth, fabrication,
modeling and performance of Graded Index-Separate Confinement
Heterostructure laser diodes which contain pseudomorphic InGaAs as the
active region material. Laser epitaxial layers were grown with
different indium mole-fractions, and a constant InGaAs layer thickness
of 10 nm, on both sides of the...
The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate personal
attitudes and perceptions, educational and vocational plans, activities
and satisfaction among students of two basic groups selected for the
study: a) financial aid recipients, b) non-financial aid recipients.
Subgroups in each category consisted of over-achievers and under-achievers.
Over-achievers were...
Disc gel electrophoresis of the vegatative cell -free extracts ofstrains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, C, E, and F and therelated nontoxic group showed limited value as a means for identifyingthese closely related microorganisms, since separation,though not consistent in all cases, could only be based on the numberof protein...
Grass seed production in Oregon's Willamette Valley traditionally relied on open field burning for straw residue disposal and nutrient recycling. Changes in residue management from open field burning to methods that remove straw coincided with rapidly declining K soil test values. A survey of grass seed fields showed that many...
