Ore deposits of the Butte district formed at ca. 66 to 62 Ma within a host rock of Butte Quartz Monzonite (ca. 76 Ma). Deposition of the Lowland Creek Volcanics Formation (ca. 53 to 50 Ma) on top of the Butte Quartz Monzonite and its ores, followed a period of...
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...
Thirteen fabrics containing "Rovana" (saran), "Verel" (mod-acrylic), and rayon were examined for colorfastness to light and laundering,
shrinkage, tensile strength, elongation, abrasion-resistance
and flammability. The fabrics represented three weaves: plain,
twill and leno; and three colors: white, eggshell and turquoise. The
fiber contents, according to the manufacturers, varied from 20...
This study examined the behaviors relating to the utilization
of prescription and over-the-counter medications in a small group
of elderly subjects in the 65 years and over age range. This group
was attending an Elderhostel at Western Oregon State College
during the summer of 1991, when the information was obtained....
This study had two purposes: to determine solid waste management needs of residents and organizations of the San Xavier District Indian reservation near Tucson, Arizona; and to develop a solid waste management plan to be recommended to the San Xavier District Tribal Council.
A solid waste generation study compared the...
The purpose of this study was to document, through
personal interviews, perceptions, attitudes and coping
skills utilized by women who have survived breast cancer
treated by mastectomy for at least 5 years without
recurrence.
A semi-structured interview guide was developed with
input from professionals in the field. The questions were...
This thesis synthesizes surficial structural data, a detailed analysis of an earthquake in 1944, and historical seismicity into a new model of crustal scale deformation in the eastern Precordillera in northwestern Argentina in the vicinity of San Juan. The eastern Precordillera was uplifted during previous thin-skinned deformation episodes, and is...
Sediment yield increases following timber harvest and road construction
were predicted for four Pacific Northwest experimental
watersheds. Sediment yields were predicted using a handbook developed
by the U.S. Forest Service entitled, "An Approach to Water Resources
Evaluation of Non-Point Silvicultural Sources" (WRENS). Predicted
sediment yield increases varied from 40 to...
This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of sexual harassment codes on college and
university campuses. The situational model proposed by Lloyd Bitzer is used to examine
representative artifacts from Rice University in Houston, Texas, and Oregon State
University in Corvallis, Oregon, so as to determine whether they operate as "fitting"...
A large, damaging earthquake in 1944 on a blind thrust fault caused 60 cm of surface rupture on the subsidiary La Laja fault and additional unmeasured growth of an associated backlimb fold. Both the fold and fault are components of the La Laja Fault System (LLFS) located 25 km northeast...
