Between 43° 17' and 43° 21' north latitude along the south-central coast line of Oregon lie the collecting grounds adjacent to the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. These 10 miles of coast line, between Coos Bay and Cape Arago, provide an assortment of intertidal environments ranging from the protected brackish...
The main focus was on developing an algorithm and supporting computer programs for use by extension personel to counsel farm managers on problems of enterprise choice. Investigation was initiated from the complete certainty viewpoint of linear programming. Upon introducing uncertainty, ramifications of changing expected income, variance and the correlation coefficient...
This monograph is focused around the controversy in the economic literature regarding the effects of income changes on labor force participation. In particular, this controversy arises from the opposing hypotheses: the "additional worker" and the "discouraged worker." Each hypothesis predicts different behavior in response to falling income or rising unemployment....
Purpose of the Study
The education of culturally diverse children has been one of the
focuses of education since the early 1960's. One of the factors
influencing education's inability to deal with the needs of culturally
diverse children is the lack of teacher's foundational knowledge of
language and linguistics as...
This report includes information concerning experimental use of unregistered pesticides or unregistered uses of pesticides. Experimental results should not be interpreted as recommendations for use. Use of unregistered materials or use of any registered pesticides inconsistent with its label is against both Federal Law and State Law.
Male dominance in conversation is encouraged by the adult
socialization pattern in which men routinely interrupt the conversation
of women and develop a topic out of turn.

predisposition of counselor candidates on selected factors found to be
associated with effective counseling, upon entering a counselor education
program, was predictive of effective counselors at the end of that
program.
Hypotheses
Two central hypotheses...
Two diverse genotypes of tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Schreb (6X=42), with normal fertility, produced upon intercrossing, vigorous F

hybrid plants that were sterile. One parent genotype (P₁)
was from P. I. 234-906, introduced from Switzerland and the other
(P₉) was an introduction from Turkey, P. I. 174-209. P₁

Elasticity properties of wood studs are essential inputs for
the structural analysis of wood-stud wall systems.
A theoretical procedure was developed to determine the probability
distributions for the deflection-load relations of stud samples.
The procedure is based on the finite element analysis and a Monte-
Carlo type simulation and accounts...
