Thirty-six gilts were used in an experiment of 2³ factorial
design. The experiment consisted of two breeds (Yorkshire-
Berkshire and Yorkshire), two feeding regimens (pre-breeding and
post-breeding) and two levels of dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl
dimethyl phosphate, 0 and 800 mg. per gilt per day). Pre-breeding
treatment consisted of feeding dichlorvos...
The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing
occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late
Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and
antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish
artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously
mentioned archeologically defined...
This study examines empirically the relationship of value
orientation to meanspiritedness. Meanspiritedness (a collection of
acts, thoughts and/or attitudes which are intentionally malicious)
was defined and a scoring method was designed. The management
level of self-interest in individuals as indicated by their value
orientation and religious orientation was examined. Additionally,...
The passage of Measure 37 in 2004 was met with a great deal of controversy as a number of voters claimed the implications of the Measure did not represent their intentions for supporting the legislation. Namely, significant opposition was aimed towards the Measure 37 claim which offered landowners financial compensation...
Modifications of an ocean model are described, as the objective for which the model was used changed to study the kinematics and dynamics of an eastern-boundary poleward undercurrent.
Archaeological investigations can reveal persistent traditions of ethnic
groups. Hawaiians were employed in the fur trade of the Columbia River from
1810 through 1850. The Hudson's Bay Company employed them at Ft.
Vancouver, Washington from 1825 through the end of this period. Data from
the excavations of the servant's village...
The equations of motion of a suspended, inextensible cable in
the absence of damping are studied. A method is developed and
illustrated for determining the frequencies and mode shapes for small
oscillations about the equilibrium configuration.
With the introduction of a new variable, the fourth order equation
governing tangential displacement...
Recently, the big sagebrush taxa has been split into subspecies
and forms. Four habitat types related to subspecies of big sagebrush
were studied in Eastern Oregon. Response of understory vegetation was
measured following three range improvement techniques implemented on
the four habitat types for several ages of treatment. Crown cover,...
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...
Net energy metering (NEM), the diffusion of residential photovoltaics (PV), and the smart grid transition are three accelerants of change that impact the rate of transitory change in the electric power grid system. Institutional relationships that underpin the old central station model now appear to be fracturing under the weight...
