Precipitation occurrence in three winter periods and three
summer periods is examined for two Oregon stations: Seaside and
Squaw Butte. The winter periods are January, February, and the
interval January 15 to February 20. The summer periods are July,

Native flood meadows are important for hay production and winter feeding areas in many western states. With the introduction of meadow foxtail (A lopecurus pratensis L.) and other new species, the botanical composition of the meadows has been steadily changing.

Shallow, translational landslides occur naturally and are the dominant form of erosion in the Pacific Northwest and the Oregon Coast Range. These landslides are triggered during large, infrequent storms. Forest management activities, such as timber harvesting, can exacerbate the occurrence of these landslides. Understanding the relationship between the occurrence of...
This study was a comparison of the prevalence of infectious
gastrointestinal disease and the quality of construction of individual,
surface source water systems in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Two measurement instruments were developed for this study. An
objective instrument was developed to determine if the water systems
observed in the study...
Peakflow frequency analysis is used in forest hydrology for designing stream crossing structures such as culverts and bridges. The traditional approach to frequency analysis is based on the assumption that the observed sample of peakflows represents a homogeneous population. It is not clear if using the "homogeneous" population of the...
Ranchers in the high desert area of Eastern Oregon traditionally
market their calves when they are weaned in late fall.
This is the time when the market prices for calves are at a

A random sample of 60 patients receiving gentamicin at a
small community hospital was studied. The gentamicin blood
levels resulting from the actual doses given and those resulting
from doses determined by a method of dose adjustment
designed by a pharmacist were predicted and compared. The
study shows that 79...
This investigation has analyzed and described the impact of
place on one of man's activities -- the production of sugar beet seed.
It is apparent that in this activity man's relationship to the earth is
especially close and dependent upon a number of factors. These
are localizing factors. Sugar beets...
