Approximately 200 raw prunes were harvested from each of five Italian prune trees near Corvallis every three days for nine consecutive harvest dates. Forty individual fruit from each tree were drawn at random and subjected to a series of fresh fruit quality tests.
For each quality factor which was measured,...
The study was conducted over approximately 191,000 acres in central Klamath County, Oregon. The research had three objectives: first, to describe and classify the seral and near-climax vegetation by using polyclimax principles; secondly, to determine the southern extension of five plant associations and one plant associes as previously described by...
This paper discussed the human electrocardiogram, the instrumentation
used to graphically record it, and the design and performance
of a specialized system for vector cardiography: the Vector Electrocardioscope
(VECS) System. The introduction reviews in considerable
detail the pertinent known physiology of the heart, especially the
electrophysiology responsible for the genesis...
Seventy-two species of Blennocampinae in 21 genera and six tribes
are known from the Nearctic region. The adults and known larvae of
all species and genera are keyed, described and illistrated. A
definition of the subfamily, a review of previous work, a table of
host-plant associations, and a discussion of...
This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from
the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including
critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions
for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010.
Prior to white settlement Oregon...
While the public trust doctrine at common law placed effective limitations on the Crown, these limitations have been somewhat obscured by state court decisions in the United States. Though some courts have suggested that the public trust places limitations or the power of the legislature to convey lands beneath navigable...
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of
Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in selected
schools of the Oregon Small Schools Project. Specifically, the
objectives were to analyze:
1. To what extent were the objectives of the OSSP
accomplished.
2. To what degree...
This thesis is concerned with the analysis of heat transfer in a tube with forced flow under conditions of an arbitrary variation of wall heat flux both axially and circumferentially. This total study is separated into two distinct problems which are presented separately. The first is the case of a...
Between 1970 and 1974, data were collected on the distribution and biology of the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) in Oregon. One-hundred and sixteen pairs and seven single birds were located. Spotted owls occurred throughout the mountains of western Oregon and on the east slope of the Cascade Range at least...
The genus Lichnanthe Burmeister contains eight extant and one
fossil species which are strictly nearctic in distribution. The
subfamily Glaphyrinae, however, is distributed nearly world-wide.
Five species were previously described and three are described as
new herein. All eight extant species are described in detail herein,
synonomies are made current,...
Fifty species and subspecies and six varieties in eight genera of
the family Tabanidae are recognized from Oregon. The following genera
are represented in Oregon: Apatolestes Williston, Pilimas Brennan,
Stonemyia Brennan, Silvius Meigen, Chrysops Meigen, Atylotus Osten
Sacken, Hybomitra Enderlein and Tabanus Linnaeus. Adults and larvae
were collected from various...
Infiltration, soil erosion, nitrogen loss and soil profile
characteristics were measured on 36 sites representing land occupied
by Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentate, wyomingensis, and vaseyana.
Infiltration, soil erosion, and nitrogen loss were strongly correlated
but highly variable. Soil loss, but not infiltration or nitrogen
loss was significantly different between subspecies....
