The primary problem of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of trained peer counselors on the personal growth of freshman students at a small liberal arts college. An effort was also made to determine if training residence hall student assistants in counseling skills affected freshman perceptions of those assistants.A...
The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test
the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)
damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of
corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features
include: tree...
The adult western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB), Diabrotica undecimpunctata
undecimpunctata Mannerheim is considered a major pest of snap beans grown for
processing in Western Oregon. Control consists of 1 or 2 insecticide sprays prior to
harvest. A commercial semiochemical-based insecticide bait, Adios TIC®, 1.3% carbaryl
+ 5% buffalo gourd root...
The primary purpose of this research was to compare posttest scores
for changes in depression and self-esteem in spouses of stroke patients
with aphasia who received group counseling with those who did not receive
group counseling. Depression was measured by the Depressive Adjective
Checklist (A-D) and self-esteem by the Tennessee...
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which personal
values congruence and self-actualization related to the question
of counselor effectiveness. The subjects consisted of the 20 Oregon
State University graduate students enrolled in the counseling practicum
class fall term, 1972, at Oregon State University. Most of...
An investigation was conducted in 1980 and 1981 on the larval
parasitoid complex of the orange tortrix, Argyrotaenia citrana
(Fern.), a major contaminant in cane fruits (Rubus spp.) in the
Pacific Northwest. A total of 13 parasitoid species were reared from
1,350 larvae predominantly collected from red raspberries in western...
In the past, a major emphasis of child development
research and theory building has been the study of
acquisition of sex role learning. Today, an additional
dimension is seen in the study of the effect of sex role
stereotypy on self-concept. As a result of the research in
this area,...
Three areas of liquid state theory are considered.
First, Monte Carlo computer simulation of a two-dimensional hard
disk fluid with an imbedded ellipse was undertaken to determine how a
non-spherical molecule affects intermolecular ordering. The
elliptical molecule (with axial ratios of 2, 5 and 10) altered the
isotropic distribution of...
The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a
worldwide pest of numerous agronomic and horticultural plants. Conservation
biological control of this pest can be unreliable due to asynchrony of natural enemies
and certain horticultural practices that have a direct or indirect affect on natural
enemies and the...
Biology of Scaptomyza apicalis Hardy (Diptera: Drosophilidae) was studied in
relation to its host, meadowfoam, Limnanthes alba, a recent oil seed crop grown in the
Willamette Valley, Oregon. Populations of flies and larvae were monitored weekly over
three consecutive crop-years beginning in 1996. Yellow sticky traps gave relative
population estimates...
