Surface-geology, oil-well, seismic-reflection, and magnetostratigraphic data are
integrated to evaluate structural style and shortening rate at the Himalayan front (Sub-Himalaya) of northwest India. The Sub-Himalaya, between the Main Boundary thrust
and the Himalayan Frontal fault, is the actively deforming front of the Himalaya. At
certain locations, the Himalayan Frontal fault...
The North Potwar Deformed Zone (NPDZ) is part of the active foreland fold-and-
thrust belt of the Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) in northern Pakistan.
About 500 km of seismic reflection profiles are integrated with surface geologic and
drilling data to examine the structure of the NPDZ, in general,...
In a majority of light-frame wood buildings, studs
and joists are the basic structural components in walls
and floors. The walls act as bending and compressive
panels and transmit lateral wind and gravity loads to the
foundation. Joists are used in floor systems, and
together with the sheathing member act...
The Sulaiman foldbelt is an active and conspicuous tectonic
feature on the northwestern margin of the Indo-Pakistani plate.
Seismic reflection data have been combined with surface geological
mapping and drillhole data to interpret the structural style and
tectonic shortening of the eastern Sulaiman foldbelt and its adjacent
foredeep. The data...
Approximately 1600 km of seismic reflection profiles from the
eastern Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) of Pakistan are
integrated with available magnetostratigraphic, surface geologic and
well data, to categorize structural styles, determine the timing of
deformation and estimate the amount of telescoping of the
sedimentary cover. The eastern SR/PP...
Recreational impacts on the subalpine-alpine ecosystems of Mount Rainier National
Park have developed over the past century, and today pose a major problem for park
managers. Field data were collected during the summer of 1987 in the Paradise meadows
area in order to describe visitor impacts on social trails (trails...
Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic
energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber
structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted
connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in
timber brace.
The research was...
The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

Sixteen secondary school health teachers evaluated their own
course teaching performance. Students in each of these courses
evaluated the same teacher and the results were compared. An
adapted version of a teacher rating form developed by the School of
Agriculture, Oregon State University, was used by all study participants.
Teacher...
With little previous research on Astragalus peckii (Fabaceae), a state-listed
Threatened species in Oregon, I investigated three facets of its biology which are
integral to the conservation and management of the species. First, a four-year
demographic study of two large populations revealed increasing population growth at
one site (Chiloquin) and...
