The Mixteco primarily reside in the Mexican State of Oaxaca in Southwestern Mexico. They have been arriving in larger numbers then ever before to this part of the North American continent in the last twenty years.Their experience is composed of different dynamics compared to those of their mainstream Mexican counterpart....
WRRI 106 is placeholder for the research findings of Project No. G-928-03 funded by U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey. Findings are available in Piehl, Bradley T. (1986) An evaluation of culverts on low volume forest roads in the Oregon Coast Range (Masters Thesis, Oregon State University. Forest Engineering)...
The analysis of prehistoric stone features has suffered for two separate but related reasons. The first is the lack of stringency in defining the terms attributed to these structures and, second, the perception of a lack of formal attributes exhibited by them. These two factors have made it impossible to...
Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...
The Tumalo quadrangle lies approximately 30 kilometers behind the Cascade volcanic arc and marks the southernmost extent of continuously exposed Deschutes Formation rocks. Deschutes Formation rocks in the
Tumalo quadrangle include late Miocene volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, ignimbrites and lapillistones, and late Miocene to early
Pliocene basalts and basaltic andesites. Volcaniclastic...
Crater Lake, located in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon, is the seventh deepest lake in the world. Unlike a majority of the deepest lakes in the world, found in continental rift valleys, Crater Lake is in the caldera of a volcano. For the young at heart and mind, those...
The Whitewater River area is located directly east of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades of central Oregon. Approximately 90 mi2 (230 km2) were mapped (scale 1/24,000) and four new K-Ar ages and 151 major element analyses were obtained in a study of the stratigraphic
and magmatic transition from the Miocene...
During Early and Middle Devonian time, the main part of the Death Valley area was characterized by shallow marine shelf position. In the extreme western part, deposition took place in carbonate slope environments. Early and Middle Devonian eastern platform dolomites, represented by uppermost Hidden Valley Dolomite and lower Lost Burro...
About 225 lava flows and ash-flow tuffs of the Deschutes Formation (DF) were mapped at Green Ridge. The units fill east-trending paleovalleys which "sky-out" westward and dip east; the eastward dip of the units decreases
as they are traced eastward. The source of the units was west of Green Ridge...
Geologic mapping of the Longview-Kelso area and the measurement and description of a composite 650-meter thick stratigraphic section of the Cowlitz Formation (Tc) in Coal Creek using bio-, magneto-, litho-, and sequence stratigraphy reveals a complex interplay of Cowlitz micaceous, lithic arkosic shelf to tidal/estuarine to delta
plain facies associations,...
The Mitchell inlier in north-central Oregon contains the largest exposure of Cretaceous marine sedimentary rocks in this region. Nearly 9,000 ft of Albian-Cenamanian rocks are exposed along the flanks of the Mitchell anticline. The Cretaceous section rests unconformably overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks. The Cretaceous rocks have previously been divided...
Recently, delta-sigma modulation has become a widely applied technique for high-performance analog-to-digital conversion of narrow-band signals. Most of the early designs used discrete-time structure for good accuracy and good linearity. The transfer functions are independent of the clock frequency. However, high unity-gain bandwidths of the opamps are required to satisfy...
White women’s experiences with major institutions, the church included, often are generalized to other women’s experiences, much like how the experience of men in often represented as the experience of all humankind. In 2001 Elaine Howard Ecklund studied white lay women in the Catholic Church and explored two questions: What...
The increased ethnic diversity of the U.S. population, including an increase of Indian immigrants, calls for an investigation of the Indian apparel consumption differences among first generation Indians and second generation Indian American females within the United States market. This study examined the Indian apparel consumption behavior of two levels...
The Peck Mountain area is located in west-central Idaho just 15 miles east of the Oregon-Idaho border. It is tectonically located within the "Columbia Arc" of the Nevadan oroaenic belt. The Seven Devils Volcanics, Permian to Traissic in age, are the oldest rocks in the area. They are composed of...
About 9600 nautical miles of marine gravity, magnetic, and bathymetric data were collected by Oregon State University during the cruise Yucatan'85 in the north and eastern margins of the Yucatan Peninsula, using a research vessel of the Mexican Navy, the Altair. A compilation of Yucatan' 85 marine data and marine...
Red Light Ladies presents a perspective on prostitution in North America, within the context of the western mining frontier. A biographical profile of the frontier
prostitutor is presented, along with an archaeological model of settlement patterns and material culture. Settlement patterns and demographic changes in the prostitutor
population are hypothetically...
Studies were conducted within a 12-mile radius of Camp Sherman, Oregon, in the Deschutes National Forest during the spring and summer of 1965 and the spring of 1966, with one follow-up visit in the summer of 1967. The feeding and foraging activities of Eutamias amoenus and Citellus lateralis were observed,...
Two Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Gliders have alternated continuous sampling of a 45-nautical mile transect line (the Newport Hydrographic Line) across the Oregon continental shelf since April, 2006. Strong currents (>25cm/s) push the gliders off their trajectories as they survey this transect line, preventing them from sampling the historically occupied stations...
