The volatile components of rye flour were isolated
by steam distillation and trapped in cold traps under
vacuum. After preliminary tests indicated the presence
of carbonyl compounds, the distillate was reacted with
2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine to convert the carbonyl compounds
to their stable derivatives, 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazones.
Three classes of monocarbonyls were...

This study measures the recreational boating use in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Improved access conditions to the Sound over the last decade coupled with a statewide increase in outdoor recreation participation among both resident and out of state tourists have made the Sound a focal point for recreational boating in...
This thesis examines a range of generic influences in William Shakespeare's Richard II. By exploring the play's references to conflicting interpretations of history from different generic perspectives, I hope to advance a more nuanced reading of the play's dynamic staging of history. In Chapter One, I suggest that Richard II...
The eight stories in Wild West Love Songs explore issues such as loss, suffering, and betrayal, but perhaps the most consistent theme is the examination of the ways we are haunted by our past. All the protagonists in these stories are haunted. Sometimes they are haunted literally, by a ghost...
The functioning of marine habitats needs to be understood in the context of the ecological relationships and associations between organisms and the physical and biogenic environment they inhabit. Thus, it becomes important to explore and define habitat features which contribute to these relationships and which are important in the life...

The most interesting study connected with the
development of the American novel is the accompanying
feature of the growth of the country itself. In a
certain way the changes seem peculiar, but in another
way they are exactly what we might be led to expect.
In tracing the development from...
Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation),
but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly
across large spatial scales...

Three inbred and relatively unrelated lines of Hereford cattle
(1. Lionheart, 2. Prince, and 3. David) developed at the Corvallis
branch of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station as part of the

Public construction projects are frequently presented as
occurring in complex social, political and economic settings
described as being uncertain. In public administration, this
uncertainty is cited as a cause for shifting from the so
called "rational-comprehensive" model of policy and decision
making toward an "incremental" or "mixed-scanning" approach.

As young as American Literature is, it has been found necessary to divide it into five periods, namely: First Colonial Period (1620-1689); Second Colonial Period (1689-1763); Revolutionary (1763 -1815); First National Period (1815 -1863). Though by courtesy called Literature, the first attempts at writing by our forefathers cannot properly be...

In the following pages the information, so far as it has been possible to obtain it, is given in the following order for each alumnus: Name, year in which the degree was conferred, degree, course, present occupation, and present mailing address.
Champoeg, located along the Willamette River, developed
as a transportation center for both river and overland
travel and as a shipping point for agricultural products.
Retired employees of the Hudson's Bay Company were the first
to settle in the area, in the 1830s. American settlers
began arriving in large numbers...
Several crops grown in the Willamette valley of western Oregon

soils of this area are naturally low in plant-available B. Application
of B to the soil annually or at less frequent intervals is currently

to the section Trichodium (Michx.) Trin., of
Agrostis, and the genus Podagrostis. Experimental methods
were employed, including: uniform garden culture of transplants
and plants grown from seeds collected in natural
populations; breeding studies; physiological and phenological
investigations; cytological studies; ecological

The importance of seagrasses (families Posidoniaceae, Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae and Cymodoceaceae) to estuarine communities is widely accepted and this, combined with their continued decline throughout the world, have resulted in a need to better understand the factors affecting their growth and reproduction. Conservation and restoration of seagrasses will require an understanding...

The forest-products industries are most important to the state of Oregon. Oregon leads the nation in the production of plywood, lumber, and particle board. More than half of softwood plywood production in the United States came from Oregon at the time of this survey, and more than a fifth of...
In this dissertation, I posited the need to understand how an invented community (the Society for Creative Anachronism) constructs symbolic meaning in material objects and value systems. Using ethnographic methods, I focused on the Knights and their regalia as this is the most widely accepted material symbolism. People go to...

Oncorhynchus spp. released from hatcheries or smolt traps and recovered in the north Pacific Ocean and its tributaries. I used this data set to examine the spatial and temporal variation in the marine distributions of 77...
Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time, provinces were based on at least a 10% endemism and nested within biogeographic regions that covered large geographic areas with contrasting biotic...
The genus Ormyrus has a worldwide distribution and
comprises about sixty recognized species. The higher

Small hydroelectric development, the construction or reconstruction
of small scale hydropower systems, has become a much discussed alternative
for the future supply of U.S. energy. In the Pacific Northwest,
the greatest potential for small hydro application is in the development
of new dam sites. Although much is known about the...

The Champoeg townsite first developed due to its ideal settlement and trade location within the Willamette Valley, becoming the ‘legal birthplace of Oregon’ in 1843. However, by 1860 Champoeg’s significance had begun to decline, and in December of 1861 a devastating flood wiped out the townsite. Archaeological excavations took place...
