Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of birth
order, sex, and the interaction of birth order and sex on the self concept
as measured by the 29 mean scores of the Tennessee Self-
Concept Scale (TSCS). Procedures: This research is restricted to...
In Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley, cabbage maggot (CM), Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) often renders Brassica root crops unmarketable. Scheduled insecticides are the only current control. Studies were conducted to: 1) describe and characterize spring emergence of CM flies and their seasonal flight activity relative to degree-day (DD) accumulations; 2)...
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss concepts and strategies that provide a general framework which can be used to develop a microcomputer simulation model for educating senior public officials on the linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country. Tradition has it that agriculture is preeminently...

State University Extension Service educators have made limited use of
this equipment for delivery of educational programs to clients of the
state's 36 county Extension Service offices. Some Extension educators
may be hesitant to use distance technology because they are unsure

The basic problem of this investigation was to determine if
peer counselors could be effective as group counselors for Educational
Opportunity Program (EOP), freshman students. This effectiveness
would be demonstrated by changes in self concept and
academic adjustment for those students who participated in the group
counseling process. This investigation...
The problem of this study was to determine whether graduate students
in education (the experimentals) participating in a counseling
practicum would demonstrate a change in self-actualization which would
be significantly different when compared with other graduate students
in education (the comparisons) who were not participating in the above
program. The...
The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test
the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)
damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of
corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features
include: tree...
Three areas of liquid state theory are considered.
First, Monte Carlo computer simulation of a two-dimensional hard
disk fluid with an imbedded ellipse was undertaken to determine how a
non-spherical molecule affects intermolecular ordering. The
elliptical molecule (with axial ratios of 2, 5 and 10) altered the
isotropic distribution of...
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which personal
values congruence and self-actualization related to the question
of counselor effectiveness. The subjects consisted of the 20 Oregon
State University graduate students enrolled in the counseling practicum
class fall term, 1972, at Oregon State University. Most of...
The primary problem of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of trained peer counselors on the personal growth of freshman students at a small liberal arts college. An effort was also made to determine if training residence hall student assistants in counseling skills affected freshman perceptions of those assistants.A...
