This study was initiated and designed, first, to determine the reliability of the stocking survey system, and, second, to construct free hand curves which would give the ratio of percent of stocking to number of trees per acre.
The purpose of this study was to examine the total direct costs of occupational injuries as they relate to workers compensation allocations within a self-insured firm.
Through the use of a model, this study provides financial impact information for safety professionals by defining the total direct costs of occupational injuries....
Adaptive immune capabilities of the Urochordate S. montereyensis
were studied. Animals repeatedly injected with bacteria were bled and
the following properties were measured in vitro: agglutinin, bactericidin,
bacteria-cell association. Both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria
were isolated from the gut of S. montereyensis and used as antigens at
10⁸...
The addition of catalase to culture medium increased the period
of viability of Beggiatoa from one week to two months. Addition of
catalase also produced a marked increase in cell yield and enzyme
activity. The addition of cysteine or hydrogen sulfide to the growth

The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) was created in 1972 by the Air Force to serve Air Force enlisted personnel with educational opportunity. No study exists identifying and assessing the mission of this college. Various mission sources iterate the different goals of CCAF. These sources and other indicators...
Seed of Cougar and Newport Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)
was harvested at Pullman and Spokane at several stages of maturity.
Variations in seed attributes resulting from environmental and maturity
effects were evaluated through germination tests, tetrazolium staining,
seed moisture and seed weight determinations. Seedling vigor was
determined by .speed...
This dissertation addresses the problem of how best to share purchasing specifications among the community colleges of the State of Oregon. In order for Oregon's community college administrators who are responsible for the acquisition of goods and services for vocational and other programs to perform successfully, it requires the development...
Basalts of both Eocene and Miocene age from several groups
along the Oregon and Washington coasts have been analyzed for some
major, minor, and trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The rare earth element (REE) patterns observed
in these samples are used for comparisons within the groups studied...
Professional development is a critical part of education, especially in career and technical education (CTE). CTE programs have rapidly changing technological foundations, and while the CTE teachers' primary focus is to prepare students for entry-level positions in their occupational areas, CTE teachers are also required to embed academics into their...
Recently the independent multinomial selections model (IMS) with the
multinomial logit link has been suggested as an analysis tool for radio-telemetry
habitat selection data. This model assumes independence between animals,
independence between sightings within an animal, and identical multinomial habitat
selection probabilities for all animals.
We propose two generalizations to...
Plumage development and growth were studied in young whooping
cranes (Grus americana) from hatching until 450 days of age. The
downy stage of the young cranes lasted about six weeks; the development
of the juvenal plumage took until 100 days of age, and the molt
to the adult or all...
The silicate phases of 11 pallasites were analyzed instrumentally
to determine the concentrations of some major, minor, and
trace elements. The silicate phases were found to contain about
98% olivine with 1 to 2% accessory minerals such as lawrencite,
schreibersite, troilite, chromite, and farringtonite present. The
trace element concentrations, except...
Twenty managers of large diversified irrigated farms in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon were interviewed about the economic information and analysis techniques they use when making crop selection decisions. Two community college farm management instructors, two agricultural lenders, and two certified public accountants working with farmers were interviewed about...
The acceleration in a second-order system is directly controllable
by the input. The Acceleration-Oriented Learning Controller
generates the input to control a second-order system and adjust this
input based on observations of the system's response in order to obtain
a particular acceleration pattern.
Large changes with time and some nonlinearities...
This paper examines the influence of species, method, and area on automated
species-area curve created from a systematically sampled data set. Because this is a new
approach to species-area curves, three tests were run to evaluate the performance of the
data sets and accumulation technique. The tests involved 1) range...
In many statistical applications an interval is needed that will contain the values of all J future observations with some preassigned probability. For example, suppose twenty rockets have been fired in a test program and three have failed. If two more test programs are to be conducted, an interval that...
The spectrophone method for the study of vibrational relaxation
has been claimed to possess a distinct advantage over the more commonly
used ultrasonic techniques in that it permits the relaxation of
the various infrared-active vibrational modes in a polyatomic molecule
to be studied separately. A discussion of the rate equations...
The study investigated the prescription drug
purchasing behaviors of independent retail pharmacies,
and selected pharmacy characteristics which may be related
to purchasing behaviors. The purchasing function
was considered as a major area of concern for independent
pharmacies in attempting to improve operating efficiencies,
particularly in view of increased competition
from...
Several series of measurements of the hydrography, currents,

independent spectra, and...
There is a growing interest in bringing online and streaming content to the television. Gaming platforms such as the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are at the center of this digital convergence; platforms for accessing new media services. This presents a number of interface challenges, as controllers designed for gaming...
The classical dimension theories of Menger-Urysohn and Lebesgue are equivalent on metric spaces. However, their infinite-dimensional analogues may differ, even on compact metric spaces. The three such infinite-dimensional dimension theories considered in this thesis are known as countable-dimensionality, property C, and weak infinite-dimensionality. The open questions regarding the relationships between...
Marginal agricultural land is currently a focus of concern for
public land use agencies in Oregon. Two approaches for evaluating marginal
agricultural lands are the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model
of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, and the marginal lands criteria of
the 1983 Oregon Legislature's Senate Bill...
The goal of these experiments was to ensile combinations of shrimp or crab waste
with perennial ryegrass straw and analyze it for silage quality and ruminal degradability.
The rapid deterioration of seafood wastes required initial preservation prior to ensiling
to minimize odor production and protein breakdown. Eight experiments were conducted...
The study examined classroom instructional practices and teacher's
professed conceptions about teaching and learning college calculus in
relationship to the implementation of scientific-programmable-graphics (SPG)
calculators. The study occurred at a university not affiliated with any reform
project. The participants were not the catalysts seeking to implement calculus
reform, but expressed...
Incubation experiments with an acid poorly drained soil have
shown that the application of neutral soluble salts influenced the level
of extractable Mn. The application of a salt which lowered the soil
pH either increased the extractable Mn or retarded the oxidation
and/or fixation of extractable Mn. This effect was...
