Foliage from Douglas-fir(var. glauca) seedlings grown under two light intensities was bioassayed to examine palatability to the
western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Free.). Samples were collected in Fall, Winter and early Spring to
identify seasonal changes in host foliage, as evidenced by the response of spruce budworms. Fall collected foliage...
Despite extensive research on the historical and technical aspects of national space policy, little has attempted to understand the links between technological evolution in NASA’s spaceflight program in relation to its administrative, political and economic context. This essay explores these connections in the development and evolution of core systems in...

These changes occur across a narrow, structurally complex zone (less...
This work was performed on Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae), to
clarify the pattern of morphological variation between the small-flowered
populations at the northern limit of its range ( T. parviflorum Soukup) and the
larger-flowered populations from southern Oregon and northern California. It was
hypothesized that only a single species of...
