The design and testing of a portable pumping system for use in
the hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots buried by ocean
sediment was undertaken. The resulting portable system retained the
four major components of the pumping systems presently used by
commercial fishermen: engine, pump, fire hose, and nozzle. Because...
An investigation concerning the acceptance of a new, legend drug
product was conducted within a community of 15,000 population.
Twenty-eight physicians within the community were chosen for evaluation
relative to acceptance of the new drug product.
Data were obtained by means of a prescription audit of nine retail
pharmacies in...
The study investigated the prescription drug
purchasing behaviors of independent retail pharmacies,
and selected pharmacy characteristics which may be related
to purchasing behaviors. The purchasing function
was considered as a major area of concern for independent
pharmacies in attempting to improve operating efficiencies,
particularly in view of increased competition
from...
A sample of fish remains from two late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central coast of Oregon were analyzed to partially evaluate two models of aboriginal subsistence-settlement systems. One model is based upon ethnograhpic data, primarily Drucker's (1939), for Yakonen speakers collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The...
An experimental study was made of acoustic switching of
pneumatic turbulence amplifiers. The development of fluidic devices
was generally reviewed, and the operation of the pneumatic turbulence
amplifiers made for testing was described. The characteristics
of the turbulence amplifiers were experimentally determined
and found to be typical for this type...
The Philpott site (35CS1) is located on the north bank of the
Coquille River near Bandon, Oregon. Test excavations at the site were
conducted in 1978 by Oregon State University under the direction of
Richard E. Ross.
One artifact assemblage and one distinct component were defined
during the analysis of...
During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing project was
completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the
upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on
two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical site type which is
especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which, to date,...
Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria dalmatica) has become a prolific invasive plant of rangelands in Oregon since its arrival in the early 20th century. In 2001, the Oregon Department of Agriculture initiated a release program promoting the distribution of the stem-boring weevil, Mecinus janthinus as classical biological control agent to reduce densities...
Analysis of the pinniped remains from site 35 LNC 14 reveal
the presence of four species: Eumetopias jubata (Stellar sea lion),
Zalophus californianus (California sea lion), Callorhinus ursinus
(Northern fur seal),'and Phoca vitulina (Harbor seal). Ratios
based on minimum number of individuals calculations disclose a
high incidence of mature Stellar...
