Factors influencing soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content in complex terrain, where vegetation, climate, and topography vary over the scale of a few meters, are not well understood. We examined the spatial correlations of lidar and geographic information system-derived landscape topography, empirically measured soil characteristics,...
The transfer of trace metals within an estuarine
system is a complex function of physical and chemical processes
unique to that system. Although interactions of
metals with individual components has been studied, there
has been little investigation of interactions with multiple
component systems. Thus to further understand these
processes, an...
The sample ratio of sublegal to legal male crabs retained in crab
pots was used in calculations to predict future harvest of Dungeness
crabs, Cancer magister, along the Oregon coast. Accurate predictions
by this method require a sample ratio representative of the population
ratio. I sampled the Oregon Dungeness crab...
Coplanar microstrip structures placed on dielectric substrates
are used as high frequency electro-optic modulators. The method of
lines, a mathematical technique for solving partial differential
equations, has been applied to solve for the propagation
characteristics of such a configuration.
It has been determined that simple transmission line models
are adequate...
The 36 samples collected with a 22-foot semi-balloon shrimp
trawl at depths from 40 to 1,829 meters off the central coast of
Oregon between July 1961 and June 1962 provided preliminary data
on the distribution, species composition, and associations of benthic
fishes with respect to depth and sediment type.
Sixty-seven...
Groundwater overdraft in the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, as a consequence of increasing rates of agricultural groundwater withdrawal, has led to significant regional groundwater level decline and threatens to undermine the basin’s long-term water resource security. Updated characterization of the basin’s water resource conditions and agricultural water demand is critically important...
The Internet is growing rapidly in terms of websites, users and uses. People use the Internet for reference, shopping, social networking, communications, business and much more. Though the Internet is useful, there are many risks associated with its use, like malicious websites, identity theft, hateful content and fraudulent practices. Online...
Purpose of the Study
This exploratory study examined whether nontraditional career role
(female) teachers in vocational agriculture differ significantly from
traditional career role (male) teachers in vocational agriculture on
perceived (a) events in career choice, (b) work satisfaction, and (c)
future career plans.
The Procedure
A survey instrument was developed,...
