Quantitative and qualitative information on the retention of chlorinated residues in chloropicrin treated wood is lacking. Retention of chloropicrin and its chemical breakdown products in wood, and the effects of chloropicrin treatment of wood on invading decay fungi are explored in this thesis. Chlorinated residues in amounts up to 1.5%...
An analysis of 4,385 recoveries of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), that were reported during the years 1929 to 1972, was made to determine the migrational characteristics and survival rates of
mallards banded at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. Two populations, a transitory population and a wintering population, were banded...
The interaction of magma with continental crust at convergent margins is fundamental to
understanding if and how continents grow. Isotopic and elemental data constrain the
progressive stages of development of the magmatic underpinnings of the long-lived
Aucanquilcha Volcanic Cluster (AVC), situated atop the thick continental crust of the
central Andes...

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF
Barry Alan Walker, Jr. for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
Massive Multiple-User Miltiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication systems incorporate promising advanced strong technologies for upcoming 5G communications. To obtain some of the high spectrum and energy e ciencies bonuses brought by MU-MIMO systems, the ability to obtain Channel State information, especially on the receiver side (CSI), is important. To minimize...
Effects of light intensity, exposure to desiccation, reduced
salinity, and thermal elevation on the functional and structural characteristics
of marine benthic diatom communities were investigated
in a laboratory model ecosystem and a respirometer chamber.
Measurements of biomass (dry weight and ash-free dry weight)
and chlorophyll a were made for each...
Ninety basalt samples from eight locations in central Oregon
and one location in the Willamette Valley were analyzed for Si and Al.
Fourteen basaltic rock specimens (> 1 kg each) from four buttes in the
Willamette Valley were sampled and analyzed for Si, Al, Fe, Na, K,
Mn, Cr, Co,...
Limited measures of socio-economic affluence
among some Oregon counties reflect deficiency in the
availability and development of agricultural resources.
Seventeen indicators qualify county census data into
comparable relative values. Rank correlation analysis
of the relationship between agricultural resources and
socio-economic affluence demonstrates a significant
correlation coefficient at the 95 percent...
