A new species belonging to the lichen genus Physconia is described from Alaska and the Canadian and American Rocky Mountains and adjacent forested regions. It is also reported from China, Nepal, India and Siberia. The new species, Physconia labrata, is superficially similar to P. perisidiosa, but can be distinguished by...
The purpose of this study was to test, by means of
a controlled classroom experiment, the effectiveness of
an experimental method involving the introduction of
regular dictation of unpracticed material beginning with
Lesson 25 in the Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified,
Second Edition, by Gregg, Leslie, and Zoubek.
The study involved...
This study was to determine the common competencies needed in
physical education graduate curricula as perceived by physical
education teachers and other physical educators in Thailand, to
determine if differences existed among three groups of physical
educators on the Importance of Content and Level of Learning of
the selected competencies,...
Over 1,000 9th and 10th grade male high school youth in the
Country of Belize, Central America, were administered the AAHPER
Youth Fitness test during the 1972-73 academic school year. Results
were analyzed and compared to similar data in the United States. Of
41 comparisons utilizing the Student t for...
The purpose of this study was to determine a student's attitudes toward
business, his level of occupational aspiration, and the degree of correlation
between them. Two questionnaires were used: Student Attitudes Toward Business
and Level of Occupational Aspiration.
The business attitude questionnaire elicited student reactions to 87
business-related statements. The...
This thesis presents two related studies on the methodology for creating, and
subsequently analyzing, an inverse food web model of an intertidal seagrass bed. The first study (Chapter 2) describes, for the first time in the literature, a method for incorporating isotopic information gained from Bayesian mixing models into an...

The purpose of this study was to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of the business program at Southern Oregon College,
Ashland, Oregon. It was assumed that former students of the Business
Division could make a rational evaluation of their college education
and so state the effectiveness of the preparation in...
This is the first report on the susceptibility of salmonid fish to infection with the glochidia of the freshwater mussel Margaritifera. margaritifera using known numbers of parasites under controlled conditions. The relative susceptibility of six species of salmonid fish, 2O to 80 mm in total length, to glochidiosis was determined...
A survey of Oregon sheep producers conducted as part of this research, indicated that lambing losses by sheepgrowers in winter rainfall areas of Oregon currently average 16 percent. The majority of the lambs born in these areas are born in pastures without the benefit of shelter. The utilization of portable...
This study was designed to measure the results on public
school teachers of training in three teaching systems. The results
of the study were intended to provide evidence that might be used
for designing a single system which would bring together the most
effective aspects of each of the systems...
A new algorithm, the Horizontal and Vertical Algorithm, for
on-line detection of deadlocks in distributed computer systems, is
presented. Two protocols for implementing the algorithm are given.
The first protocol, the centralized protocol, is based on the
assumption that one site in the network acts as the controller for
global...
The purpose of this research is to develop methods to
translate a certain machine independent intermediate
language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a
class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been
developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a
high level microprogramming language used to implement a...
The specific objectives of this project are to compare the
Sequent and the transputer to determine the speed of both
and find out which is easiest for programming in parallel.
The results are graphs showing relative and real time
speedup versus number of processors and conclusions based
on those graphs....
Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical
and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution
pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments,
(2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic
variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with
respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...
