Water and methanol adsorption on a series of organic complexes of montmorillonite

Creator:: Carter, Loren Sheldon
Abstract:: Water and methanol adsorption isotherms at 25° and 37° C. were determined on a series of organo-bentonite clays. The clays differed in the length of the carbon chain attached to the amine adsorbed in the cation exchange position. The amines used had carbon chains of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,...

Status and habitat preference of California bighorn sheep on Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada

Creator:: Hansen, Michael Charles
Abstract:: A herd of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana), re-introduced to the area of Hell Creek on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada, was studied from 15 June 1978 to 20 August 1980. Major vegetation and physiographic types were delineated and described. Habitat preferences were determined from field...

Comparing Random and Nonrandom Spatial Patterns of Artifacts within Lithostratigraphic Unit 3 at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho

Creator:: Gregory, Alex R.
Abstract:: Archaeological investigations at the Cooper's Ferry site in Western Idaho have recovered cultural remains dating to 16,000 years ago, suggesting the oldest human occupation recorded in North America. However, many archaeologists have argued the initial peopling of North America occurred no earlier than the opening of an ice-free corridor between...

Mapping Minerals, Charting Community: A Petrographic Study of Dalma Ware in the Chalcolithic Near East

Creator:: Buehlman-Barbeau, Savanna S.
Abstract:: The recent recovery of Dalma Ware at the archaeological site of Surezha, Northern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraqi-Kurdistan), has raised questions regarding the method of its arrival in the region (Stein 2017; Stein & Fisher 2018). In order to assess Dalma Ware’s potential modes of dispersal into Northern Mesopotamia, ceramic petrography and...

Asthma prevalence in school children in Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Berry, Cheryl Anne
Abstract:: Asthma prevalence in children under age 18 has risen steadily in the U.S. since the mid-1970s. Most researchers attribute this increase to air pollutants, socioeconomic status or urban residence. This study examined asthma prevalence in Lane County, Oregon, using children's asthma hospital discharges (1990-1995), and data from 10 of 16...

Distribution of nearshore macroinvertebrates in lakes of the northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA

Creator:: Hoffman, Robert L.
Abstract:: Although nearshore macroinvertebrates are integral members of high mountain lentic systems, knowledge of ecological factors influencing their distributions is limited. Factors affecting distributions of nearshore macroinvertebrates were investigated, including microhabitat use and vertebrate predation, in the oligotrophic lakes of North Cascades National Park Service Complex, Washington, USA, and the conformity...

Nest-site selection in cooperatively breeding Pohnpei Micronesian Kingfishers (Halcyon cinnamomina reichenbachii) : does nest-site abundance limit reproductive opportunities?

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Despite their inherent importance and utility as ecological examples, island species are among the most endangered and least studied groups. Guam Micronesian Kingfishers (Halcyon cinnamomina cinnamomina) exemplify the plight of insular biota as a critically endangered and understudied island bird that went extinct in the wild before they could be...

Exploring Soil-Landscape Relationships on the Pacific Slope of Monteverde, Costa Rica

Creator:: Hesson, Kevin M.
Abstract:: Landscape positions have been used to determine soil properties. My soil study in Monteverde on the Pacific slope of Costa Rica was designed to examine soil-landscape relationships for sites with various land use histories and management. Soil pits were dug at Nacimiento y Vida, Crandell, Curi-cancha, La Calandria, and Finca...

Institutional capacity building through land and water stewardship integration - an analysis of source water protection in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Odom, Olivia
Abstract:: Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...
