Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of using incinerated sewage sludge ash as a soil amendment for sweet corn production on Willamette silt loam. In 1977, field plots were treated with 0, 11, 22, and 43 mt/ha of ash containing lime, in factorial combination with a...
Ethnocentrism is a term for an attitude which causes

A problem facing the casting industry is inclusions in
the finished parts. The inclusions can be sand from the
molds, oxides or other impurities in the metal charge.
Inclusions lead to costly part repairing or reworking.
A study was done to try and find inclusion trapping
devices that could be...
Chemical and microbial analyses were made at four seasonal intervals on soil horizons under red alder, conifers, and mixed
alder-conifers at the Cascade Head Experimental Forest, established in 1937 by the U. S. Forest Service near Otis, Oregon.
Microbial analyses showed that although plate counts of molds and bacteria fluctuated...
In the past decade, issues related to cultural diversity and pluralism
have risen to the forefront in education. The increasing cultural diversity in
American classrooms and communities requires preservice teachers to be
ready to promote multiple perspectives within their curricula and among their
students. The purpose of this study was...
The objectives and characteristics of university biotechnology research, including its applicability to such industries as agriculture and food processing, arise from formal and informal linkages among university scientists, public and private-nonprofit funding sources, and industry. In the present study I develop, specify, and estimate a model of the supply and...
This chapter is divided into three main sections. The first section discusses land cover map development. It begins by providing background information on the regional division of labor and the regional land cover legend. It then focuses on our land cover mapping methods, including a description of data sources, the...
