The primary purpose of this research study was to determine whether
significant differences occurred in the amount of knowledge achieved as
a result of using Braille or compressed speech as learning modes.
Biographic/demographic characteristics such as present age, highest
educational level achieved, age at loss of vision, age at initial...

Grazing experiments were conducted in summer, autumn and winter
to assess the effects of stock density, grazing duration, pre-grazing
pasture mass and stock type on forage intake by sheep grazing at high
stock densities for short durations. In summer and winter, sheep were
stocked at 200 sheep/ha on 0.1 ha...
Sensory evaluation and instrumental methods were applied to the
evaluation of strawberry juice concentrate (68°Brix) stored at
20°C which had been produced both commercially (C-SJC) and in a
pilot plant (SJC). Sensory evaluation included taste and aroma
ratings by intensity scaling and time-intensity of taste, and visual
colorimetry by matching...

I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
