Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
The wetlands are distinguished from other lands of the Mid-Willamette Valley by excessive soil moisture. The wetlands, as defined for this study, consist of 20 soil series (in 22 soil mapping units) which are classified by the Soil Conservation Service as having excessive wetness as the major factor limiting their...
Cryopreservation of pollen offers a simple and effective method of
long-term pollen storage. Pollen may be stored in liquid nitrogen (LN)
for many years without loss of its essential capabilities to pollinate,
fertilize, and set normal fruit and seed when used in plant breeding,
for controlled pollinations, or for the...
This is a bibliography of the work of T. L. Jackson, who conducted research at the North Willamette Research and Experiment Center. It is limited to those Extension publications and research reports that addressed the nutrient needs of fresh market and processed vegetables.
Boron deficiency or toxicity can reduce yield and
quality of vegetables. Seven vegetable crops, varying from
low to high boron requirements were grown in field plots at
Corvallis in 1987. Leaf-B and yield components of green
bean, cucumber, potato, carrot, tomato, broccoli and table
beet were examined under conditions of...

Concern about noise pollution has swept the country.
People are conscious of their environment and are trying to
preserve or to improve it. When the City of Lake Oswego
selected a site for their water treatment plant, they had
to assure the neighbors that it would not increase the
ambient...
The selenium-responsive syndromes and the discovery of
Factor 3-selenium focused attention on selenium in metabolism. Two
hypotheses have been advanced to explain the metabolic effect of
selenium: 1) substitution or sparing of alpha tocopherol, and 2) a
primary role in metabolism. The first hypothesis is supported by
Scott and Desai,...
Signification temperature differences were found to exist among three similarly situated stations in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon. The stations were McMinnville, Salem, and Corvallis. Factors known to influence temperatures were compared with the temperature differences of the stations using available weather data. Factors examined included elevation, latitude, cloud cover,...
Based in part on previous work by this researcher, variables assumed to play a minor part in the process/ response system examined by the OSU Alsea Bay Hazard Study Team (1985-87)--river input and subsequent variations in hydrology--were more completely analyzed for their range of effects on the stability of Alsea...
Diet, nutrition, and foraging strategies of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) and redheads (A. americana) were studied by collecting actively feeding birds throughout the reproductive season in 1980 and 1981; samples of available foods were taken each time a bird was collected. Nutrient composition of the aggregate diet was determined for each...
Three special cases of the resection problem of surveying
are examined and solved. The coordinates of unknown points are
found with respect to given points in a rectangular coordinate system.
This is accomplished in the case of (a) one unknown point and three
given points (Snell's problem), (b) two unknown...
