A steady gas convection model of heat transfer to a horizontal
cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed is presented. Contributions due to flow within
attached bubbles as well as the interstitial voids are
included. The interstitial flow is approximated as flow within a series
of double cusped channels and...
The vast majority of housing in the United States today has been
created to conform to a family definition that does not match current
demographic realities. The "traditional family" - a married couple with
an employed husband, a homemaker wife, and several children has been
the model family that housing...
Port Orford is a small fishing community on the southern Oregon coast. Like many coastal towns in Oregon, Port Orford's main economy is the commercial fishing industry. As such, the community has a high dependence on its nearshore marine resources. Those who make their living from these resources know that...
Understanding connectivity among exploited populations is critical to their sustainable management and long-term viability. In the marine environment, estimates of connectivity often rely on the use of genetic markers, as dispersal primarily occurs during a planktonic larval phase which is difficult to track using direct methods. In this thesis, we...
During summer of 1998 and 1999, 34 and 10 vineyard sites, respectively, were sampled to assess spider mite pests and associated biological control by phytoseiid mites. Vineyards studied spanned five major valleys in western Oregon where grape production occurs. Leaf samples were taken from site perimeters and centers. One leaf...

It is well established that family members,
particularly adult children, are involved in their frail
parents' decision making. It remains unclear however, how
intergenerational decision-making influence is exercised and
how it relates to personal and relationship characteristics.
This study examined the impact of decision-making strategies
and a mother's level of...
Garden-based learning (GBL) with young people has long been viewed as an educational experience capable of teaching numerous types of science content including general science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as discipline specific areas such as biology, horticulture, agriculture and nutrition. However, much of the GBL literature focuses...
A diversity in climate, geologic parent material, and soil
characteristics exist in Jackson, Josephine, Coos, and Douglas
Counties of southwest Oregon. Previous field trials and soil testing
results have revealed uncertainties as to the phosphorus (P) status
of the soils in this area. Twenty-four sites from nine agriculturally
significant soil...
A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at the Hyslop Crop
Science Field Laboratory near Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the optimum
capsule harvest date of Papaver bracteatum Lind. for thebaine yield
and oil yield, while maintaining an acceptable percentage of seed germination.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972
prohibits the discharge of seafood processing solid wastes into
navigable waters after July 1, 1977. Oregon shrimp and crab processors
must use other methods of disposal for the 15 to 30 million
pounds of solid waste generated annually. The application of...
This biological assessment (BA) documents the potential effects of existing Forest Service (FS) Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs), or 'Forest Plans' and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Land Use Plans (LUPs) on the Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis), hereafter referred to as the lynx. LRMPs and LUPs are collectively referred...

We studied the natural hybrid (Fragaria ×ananassa subsp. cuneifolia) between
two sexually dimorphic octoploid strawberry species (F. virginiana and F.
chiloensis) to gain insight into the dynamics of sex chromosomes and the
genesis of sexual dimorphism. Male sterility is dominant in both the parental
species and thus will be inherited...

This study was conducted by the School of Forestry at Oregon State University to provide some of the information needed by the Oregon Board of Forestry to develop a forestry program for Oregon. The study makes three contributions: One, a data base that provides an up-to-date timber inventory and information...
Exercise-related menstrual dysfunction (ExMD) is associated with low energy availability (EA), decreased bone mineral density (BMD), and increased risk of musculoskeletal injury. We investigated whether a 6-month carbohydrate-protein (CHO-PRO) supplement (360 kcal/day, 54 g CHO/day, 20 g PRO/day) intervention would improve energy status and musculoskeletal health and restore menses in...
