was precipitated with polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG), extracted
with fluorocarbon, concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by
isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The physical and chemical properties
of the purified virus were studied. The examination of purified
avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) with electron microscopy using
negative stain revealed...
In recent years the types of engineering data accumulated by many telemetry systems have become so diversified and complex, and
the environment in which these systems operate has become so restricting
that telemetry systems with increased capabilities and decreased
size are becoming a necessity. Advances in integrated circuitry
techniques satisfy...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the
Delphi Technique on two types of judgment; factual judgment and value
judgment. Other considerations were the effect of the process on
mean response and variability of response.
In testing the Delphi Technique this study arrived at five

Nonpoint sources of pollution are being recognized
nationwide as a significant threat to groundwater quality.
In Oregon, groundwater supplies in several areas have been
affected by contamination possibly caused by nonpoint
sources associated with agricultural activities, on-site
sewage disposal, and inadequate hazardous materials
management in urban areas. State groundwater protection...
During a study of the abnormal dienone-phenol rearrangement
discovered by Marvell and Geiszler, Imel (1960) found that 4-oxo-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrophenanthrene rearranged slowly to a phenol
which was tentatively identified as 3,4-dimethyl-l-phenanthrol;
further evidence to support this assignment was deemed essential.
The recent work by Mallory on the photochemical conversion of
stilbenes to...
Back-calculation of length-at-age from otoliths and spines is a common technique employed in fisheries biology, but few studies have compared the precision of data collected with this method for catfish populations. We compared precision of back-calculated lengths-at-age for an introduced Ictalurus furcatus (Blue Catfish) population among 3 commonly used cross-sectioning...
Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...
Measurements of suspended sediment concentration, velocity, salinity, and turbulent
microscale shear in the near-field region of the Columbia River plume are used to investigate
the mechanisms of sediment resuspension and entrainment into the plume. An east-west
transect was occupied during spring and neap tide periods in August 2005 and May...
This report measures the effects of logging on the production and yield of Coho salmon, coastal cutthroat, and steelhead trout in small coastal streams. It contains descriptions of the physical and biological environment before logging, and describes some immediate effects of logging, such as such as a decrease in dissolved...
River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive
interdisciplinary study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal
waters in an eastern boundary current system, as well as the effects of the resultant plume
on phytoplankton standing stocks, growth and grazing rates, and community...
These are the proceedings of the third short course in the management of young Douglas-fir and western hemlock conducted by the School of Forestry, Oregon State University, June 15-18, 1970.
The course included one day of lectures and discussion on the campus of Oregon State University, two all-day field trips...
This study documented the history of the development and practice of the
kinlein associate. Consumer dissatisfaction with health care, nursing unrest, and
increased demand for long-term care-givers were the antecedents for a paradigm shift
to "caring with" persons based upon the theory of esca developed by
M. Lucille Kinlein. Interested...
Roots of greenhouse-grown peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.)
plants and in vitro-grown shoot cultures were inoculated with Verticillium dahliae conidial suspensions to
study symptom development, detection, and elimination of the V. dahliae. There were significant
differences in the symptom expression of control and infected shoot cultures...
Fall-planted barley makes the best use of available precipitation in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This growth habit is also suitable to many other areas of the world. A prerequisite for production in most of these areas is tolerance of low temperature during the vegetative growth stages. Fall-planted...
Finding new examples of compact simply connected spaces admitting a Riemannian metric of positive sectional curvature is a fundamental problem in differential geometry. Likewise, studying topological properties of families of manifolds is very interesting to
topologists. The Eschenburg spaces combine both of those interests: they are positively curved Riemannian manifolds...
A phytoplankton bloom dominated by the pennate diatom Nitzschia
curta (Van Heurck) Hasle was observed during January-February 1983 at
a receding ice-edge in the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica. The core of
the bloom was found between 100-150 Km from the ice-edge. Nitzschia
curta cell densities up to 22 x 10⁶...
After a 40-year absence from Oregon’s landscape, expanding gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations are reestablishing elements of interspecific competition with sympatric large carnivores, like cougars (Puma concolor). This presents new challenges for management of large carnivores and their ungulate prey populations (e.g., elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus)...
Phospholipase C-Jβ (PLCβ) is an important effector enzyme in G-protein-coupled
signaling pathways. Activation of PLCβ by Gα and Gβy subunits has been fairly well
characterized, but little is known about other protein interactions that may also
regulate PLCβ function. A yeast two-hybrid screen of a mouse brain cDNA library
with...
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) face numerous challenges associated with climate change. Most research has emphasized the potential effects of elevated summer water temperatures; however, climatic changes are also projected to significantly alter incubation and rearing habitats during the late autumn, winter, and spring months ("the incubation period"). Along the southern...

This thesis is a study of Herman Melville’s symbolism. I have chosen to investigate the elemental images of water, fire, and stone in Moby-Dick (1851), Pierre; Or, The Ambiguities (1852), and Clarel; A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876). This work is a semiotic study, insofar as the...
A parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday
(Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) was imported from Europe and
initially released against the filbert aphid Mvzocallis
coryli (Goetze) in hazelnut (filbert) orchards of the
Willamette Valley, Oregon beginning in 1984. In the
present study, I investigated the establishment rates of
this parasitoid. A total of 13...
Shorebirds display great variation in mating systems and breed in dynamic environments that are increasingly subject to human threats worldwide. In order to adequately assess productivity and demography of shorebird populations, it is important to understand factors that influence patterns of parental care and reproductive success. The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus...
Coral reproduction is vital to the persistence of coral reefs. Decades of ecological studies have correlated environmental variables, such as temperature and light, to the timing of reproduction in anthozoan cnidarians, including corals and sea anemones. However, elevated temperatures associated with climate change impair reproductive success and threaten the resilience...
