Franz Boas collected anthropometric data on approximately 15,000 people from over 200 Native American tribal groups between 1888 and 1902. Twelve basic measurements were taken: standing height, shoulder height, height to digit III, arm span, sitting height, shoulder width, head length and width, face height and breadth, and nose height...
Relative effects of light, nutrients, and grazing on primary production were investigated in streams in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and in laboratory streams. Relative magnitudes of primary production and associated processes were examined for one year in a stream that flowed through a clearcut and an old-growth forest in...
Purpose of the Study:
The purposes of this investigation were threefold:
1. To determine the areas of commonality existing in known
juvenile delinquents in Umatilla and Union Counties of Oregon.
2. To devise a test that would aid in identifying delinquency
tendencies in preadolescent children on the basis of areas...
Several types of instream structures were evaluated for their
potential to provide rearing habitat and to increase reach carrying
capacity for steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Evaluation was
conducted in each season over the course of 1 year.
Blast pools created in bedrock glides increased the carrying
capacity of stream reaches...
The abundance and biomass of cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) have
been found to be greater in logged than in forested streams of the
Oregon Cascades. Although certain prey taxa increase in abundance
following logging, habitat stability generally decreases and cover
structures are removed. Research was conducted to examine the manner...
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of televised instruction to aid in changing attitude toward problem solving. The study determined whether fifth and sixth grade students would demonstrate significant differences in: 1) attitude toward the nature of problem solving, 2) self-confidence in...
Proper immune function is indispensable, as failure to mount an immune response against a pathogen can lead to serious complications or even death. T cells act by enhancing the activation of phagocytic cells as well as the activation of B cells. Their widespread influence on an immune response makes optimal...
Leda is a strongly typed, compiled, multiparadigm programming language. This paper describes various implementation concerns which arose from the experience of writing a Leda compiler as part of the Leda research team. These include aspects of run-time representation, symbol-table information, and code generation. The paper concentrates on objects and classes....
