First year survival of Douglas-fir seedlings outplanted in areas
characterized by intense vegetative competition is heavily dependent
on available soil moisture. To test this hypothesis, five distinct
classes of Douglas-fir planting stock were planted on the south slope
of McCulloch Peak in McDonald Forest in February of 1975. The
stocking...
During the North Pacific cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1966,
total magnetic field intensity was measured in the Andreanof group
of the Aleutian Islands. Three north-south track lines were made
across the Aleutian Trench and ridge between longitudes 175° W
and 180°.
Three small scale magnetic profiles across the...
Rats given morphine-codeine combinations exhibited significantly
increased hotplate reaction times compared with rats given
an analgesic dose of one agent alone. Genera, species, sex, protein
binding and metabolism were studied as possible implicating factors
for the increased reaction times. Both male and female rats exhibited
increased reaction time, and showed...
Both oxy-Cope and siloxy-Cope rearrangements involve
(1, 3) and (3, 3) sigrnatropic shifts. Both the concerted mechanism,
and the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate are possible.
In a cyclic system such as cis-l-vinylcyclooct-3-en-l-ol, the thermal
rearrangement takes place preferably through a diradical intermediate.
At high temperature, the reaction also...
A field study on grass field burning was conducted in the
Willamette Valley of Oregon during the summer of 1965. Approximately 243,000 acres of grass fields are burned in the valley during
August and September. Serious air pollution problems result from
this burning. The purposes of the study were to...
Wetlands play an important role in our social and economic well being. Many
services wetlands provide, such as wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics, are
collective goods. Because these services are not represented in a market, an over supply
of wetlands converted to other uses and an under supply of protected...
Townsend's mole, Scapanus townsendii (Bachman), was
studied by live trapping, dead trapping, and observation
from July 1961, to July 1963, in Tillamook County,
Oregon. This study was initiated at the request of Tillamook County farmers to determine biological facts that
would assist them in their efforts to control this small...
