A procedural manual for sampling and analyzing sanitary landfill
leachate was designed to guide sanitarians and other public health
officials in monitoring mineral and organic material drainage from
landfill sources. The manual was constructed to allow flexibility of
conducting analytical tests in a field or laboratory environment.
Step-by-step procedures for...
This study was concerned with the effect of additional time in
health instruction for 9th graders at the junior high school level.
A 120-item questionnaire, developed after extensive review of related
tests, was mailed to a jury of ten health subject matter experts.
The evaluations of all the items made...
This study was concerned with identifying the program activities
and resources believed necessary to support a districtwide, comprehensive

of an expert committee composed of persons involved in
school health instruction in the State of Washington.
A questionnaire, developed after extensive review of...
The purpose of this study was to determine if male and female
Counselor-Trainees enrolled in master's degree programs in the
State of Oregon would emit significantly different responses to a
new and professionally developed video-based client simulation.
The sample consisted of ninety-two Counselor-Trainees
enrolled during the 1975-76 academic year in...
Improvements have been made to the spatial coherence method for automatically determining cloud-free ocean radiances in satellite imagery by incorporating the spectral signatures of reflecting surfaces. The spatial coherence method relies on the fact that small-scale cloud-free regions typically exhibit uniform emission and uniform reflection. While small-scale overcast regions typically...
An on-line trace enrichment (TE) system, based on high pressure
liquid chromatogroaphy (HPLC) and flame atomic absorption (AA), has
been developed for trace metal analysis. The sample is pumped through
a column filled with a cation exchange resin which traps metal ions.
The ions are subsequently stripped from the column...
Temporal variations in individual spectrum lines
emitted by a microwave discharge in pure helium are
investigated: The discharge is produced in a quartz tube
located inside of a section of waveguide which carries
pulsed 3 centimeter microwaves. The helium used is purified by a three-fold process consisting of treatment with...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship
between kindergarten experience and fine-muscle eye-hand coordination
abilities of first grade children.
The subjects were 181 first graders in the public schools of
Albany, Corvallis, and Salem, Oregon. The mean age of the sample
was 76.69 months with a standard...
Although studies have shown that some marine invertebrates
can obtain a portion of their nutrition from dissolved and nonliving
particulate organic matter, the relative importance of such foods in
their diet has not been established. The success of oyster hatcheries
could be significantly improved if the diet of living algal...
