The purpose of the research was to computerize mathematical
procedures for the analysis of range vegetation and environmental
data. The specific objectives were as follows:
1. to develop and apply computer techniques to the classification
of vegetation in order to provide a phytosociological
framework within which to investigate the ecology...
The tosylhydrazones of 2-heptanone, 4,4-dimethy1-2-
heptanone, 6-heptyn-2-one and 4,4-dimethy1-6-heptyn-2-
one were synthesized and decomposed under a variety of
reaction conditions: dry lithium and sodium salt pyrolyses,
sodium methoxide thermolyses in diglyme and photolyses of
the lithium salt in tetrahydrofuran. The saturated analogues
2-heptanone tosylhydrazone and its 4,4-dimethyl
isomer afforded the...

Comparative morphological and anatomical studies of the dispersal mechanisms
characterizing the wheat complex (Triticum L. and Aegilops L.) have documented
patterns of adaptive radiation which may have significance for evolutionary
relationships. These patterns, which form an array of diverse types of diaspores
among the diploid taxa, appear conceptually to have...
This study describes and analyzes Oregon Trail related
exhibits of eleven museums and two interpretive centers
that are geographically located along the Oregon Trail
from Baker City, Oregon to Portland, Oregon. The exhibits
were featured at the facilities during the 1993 Oregon
Trail Sesquicentennial, a celebration that was initiated
and...
This study evaluates the Earth Resources Technology Satellite-
One (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner (MSS) as a means of predicting
lacustrine trophic state and the magnitude of selected trophic state
indicators.
Numerical classificatory methods are employed to ascertain the
trophic character of 100 lakes in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
and New York using...
This investigation has as its purpose: (1) to identify present
student personnel practices in evening community college programs,
(2) to identify student personnel practices considered "desirable" or
"undesirable" in evening community college programs, and (3) to
develop student personnel service guidelines for an evening community
college program.
Securing and Treating...
