Presented in this thesis are the results of a recreation survey
which was carried out in the Diamond Lake and upper Rogue River
area of Oregon, during the summer of 1961, by use of interview-type
questionnaires. A total of 400 questionnaires were completed
in the Diamond Lake Campground and Picnic...
The analysis of the most recent revision of the Clothing Construction
Placement Test battery was undertaken for the purpose of
evaluating the worth of the three parts of the test in placing students
in the accelerated and regular sections of Clothing Construction,
CT 210, and in determining exemptions from the...
The formation of shear bands in isotropic micropolar
elastic materials is considered in this thesis. The
investigation concerns localized deformation fields due to
jumps of second-order gradients of displacement across a
standing singular surface. Such a standing surface gives
rise to a shear band. The condition for the existence of...
The seabed is envisaged to meet the increased future demands for
minerals from the rapidly growing industrialized societies of the world.
Shipboard analysis of cores can significantly reduce the cost and time
spent at the exploratory drilling stage by obviating the need to go back
to land for analysis. It...
The use of municipal refuse (RDF) as fuels has
received widespread attention for reason of its energy
equivalence and the increasing lack of available landfill
sites. The principal obstacle to the construction of combustion
facilities is that RDF produces toxic compounds,
including heavy metals and such organic compounds as PCDD...
One hundred and four seed sources from throughout the range of Douglas-fir (Pseudotecia menzieaii (Plirb.) Franco)
were analysed at 20 enzyme loci to determine patterns of genetic variation and to examine intraspecific phylogeny. On average the seed sources were polymorphic at 37 percent
of the loci (range 5.0-65.0), with mean...
Douglas-fir needle midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae, Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a native invasive species in Pacific Northwest Christmas tree farms, seed orchards, and nurseries where Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) is present. Douglas-fir needle midge (DFNM) causes discoloration and galls on the needles, thereby it affects the market value of the Christmas...
Evidence suggests that adipose tissue is not a homogeneous entity,
but rather that it differs functionally and morphologically according to its
anatomical location. Production of a site-specific monoclonal antibody
(MAb) is therefore of interest, not only for the study of adipocyte
development and differentiation, but also for the elimination of...
The effect of primocane removal and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' trailing blackberry was studied. In 1991, primocanes were either not cut, or cut at ground level from plants on a single occasion at one month intervals from late April to late July. Four canes...
