Violations of one or more of the assumptions made In analysis of
variance (ANOVA) or linear regression analysis may lead to erroneous
results. Often data will not conform to the assumptions implicit in the
analyses, but transforming the data to a different scale may lead to an
appropriate model. Before...
The general problem of classroom scheduling is well known to be NP-complete. A typical classroom scheduling problem is that of assigning students to a limited number of pieces of laboratory equipment. Frequently several identical pieces of equipment are available only at fixed hours and have limited access due to physical...
Hydrogen is an increasingly attractive low-carbon energy carrier for a variety of stationary and mobile applications. Currently, the vast majority of hydrogen in the United States is produced via the energy intensive steam reforming of natural gas. The cost and carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production can be reduced by...
Approximately 750 million acres, or one-third, of the total area in the United States is in forest land. The United States Forest Service, a 34,000 person agency of the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for the management of roughly 20 percent of the forest land in the United States. The...
Sheep and cattle dietary preferences were determined on tall fescue-subclover ( Festuca arundinacea-Trifolium subterraneum) and
perennial ryegrass-subclover (Lolium perenne-Trifoliuni subterraneum)
pastures in western Oregon during the spring and summer periods
of 1964 and 1965. Esophageal-fistulated Willamette ewes and
Hereford and Hereford-Angus yearling cattle were grazed separately
on each pasture mixture...
We investigated the root endophytic fungi of lupine using
four approaches: (1) occurrence of fungal colonization in field-collected
roots; (2) growth response of L. latifolius to inoculation
with two types of fungi; (3) structure of root colonizations of
Pinus and Lupinus by Phialocephala fortinii, a septate endophytic
fungus of lupine;...
A state of the art motor testing facility has been built at Oregon State University.
This is the largest independent testing laboratory of its type in the western United States.
The construction was funded by a consortium of industrial sponsors, with a goal of
becoming financially self-sufficient by charging the...
