Dust deposition on ecosystems with highly weathered soils may provide vital rock-derived nutrients that maintain ecosystem productivity. Because of the difficulties in measuring temporally and spatially heterogeneous dust deposition over ecologically meaningful timescales, evaluations of the spatial variability in dust deposition are extremely rare. In the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto...
This dissertation deals with end and side launching of marine
vessels. Its object is three-fold: first, to review several successful
techniques of launching and to describe the problems involved;
second, to derive and explain the calculations needed for assuring a
successful launching; and third, to propose several computer programs
which...
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...
During the summer of 1981, Oregon State University archaeologically tested three prehistoric sites on the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Among the sites tested were typical Willamette Valley floodplain and adjacent upland sites. Most settlement-subsistence pattern models proposed for the Willamette Valley have been generated with data from the...
This work examines the varied populations which have inhabited the South Fork region from prehistoric times to the present.
It disclosed that even though almost no archaeology has been done
in the area, data from contiguous regions suggest that persistent
and careful archaeological investigation should reveal valuable
and informative sites...
The dramatic upsurge of contract-supported archaeological activity,
generated by legislative action, has precipitated an increase
in information about Oregon's prehistoric peoples. This information,
however, has not been presented in a format which can be easily
understood by the general public.
This study presents an account of early peoples in Oregon,...
The purpose of this study was to determine the readability of three
series of selected fourth, fifth and sixth grade social studies textbooks,
a total of nine textbooks. Two measurements were utilized: a readability
formula (Fry Readability Graph; Knapp, 1971), and group informal reading
inventories.
The Fry Graph was applied...
The research analyzed the relationship between the preferred cognitive learning
style of field independence/field dependence and success in learning English as a
second language (ESL) among post-secondary Japanese students. The study provided a
review of literature in the field and developed a methodology including identification of
appropriate measurement instruments. The...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

The competencies of athletic coaches in selected Oregon
high schools were analyzed to determine the agreement among
various groups of coaches and principals as to what represents
success in high school coaching, and the agreement among groups
of selected coaches and principals in their assessment of the
importance of these...
The research developed a methodology to code and quantify eye movement patterns as a function of a neuro-linguistic programming strategy elicitation process. Secondarily the research established methodology that identified the degree of consistency among certain certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioners while they rated eye movements. The study reviewed literature in the...
