The Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an original validated Lickert-type attitudinal survey instrument and administer it to selected samples of teachers and students in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon to determine their attitude toward the "purposes," "functions," and "responsibilities" of student councils and place these results...
Biological attributes and alteration of the habitat of Labops
hesperius Uhler were investigated on rangeland seeded to crested
wheatgrass near Vale, Oregon, and on rangeland seeded to crested
and intermediate wheatgrass near Seneca, Oregon. Nymphs and
adults were present at Vale from late March until mid-June and at
Seneca from...
This research emphasized fundamental physical and electrochemical
studies of systems based on the room temperature fused salt, triethyl-ammonium
dichlorocuprate(I). Such systems, which must be maintained
under a protective atmosphere, were also used in some preliminary
battery studies.
Spectra of dark green solutions of copper (II) chloride in
triethylammonium dichlorocuprate(I) obey...
We present the results of our experiments designed to extend the clinical applications of commercially available Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters. Our initial experiments demonstrate the linear response of the OSL dosimeters for doses under 200 cGy and the non-linear response of the device after 200 cGy. Our experiments show...
Field experiments were done to test the relative
effectiveness of single and multiple biological control
agents in reducing weed populations using two insects, the
cinnabar moth, Tvria iacobaeae (L.), and the ragwort flea
beetle, Lonqitarsus iacobaeae (Waterhouse). These two
insects were released for biological control of the biennial weed tansy...
Previous research in program understanding has been hampered by the
lack of an easy tool to measure the degree of that understanding. The cloze
procedure, suggested by Cook, Bregar, and Foote (1984) was an attempt to find
a simple, reliable, and valid measure of program understanding. In this
procedure, tokens...
More Americans are participating in sport every year
and several organizations have made it their mission to
provide the opportunity for organized sport participation.
College and University intramural departments are one of
those organizations. They provide participation
opportunities on nearly every college campus. The review of
literature identifies the sociological...
This report describes the isolation of a new virus from adult
chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) returning to the Tokushibetsu Hatchery,
Hokkaido, Japan. The agent was isolated in the CHSE-214 cell line
derived from chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). The virus
replicated in selected fish cell lines incubated between 10 and 20°C...
Soil, water, and climatic classification systems are reviewed as
background for the construction of a classification system for earthen
aquaculture ponds. The physical and chemical properties of important
soil types are also reviewed because of the critical role that the
soil plays in earthen pond systems. A pond classification system...
