Goals in 1972 included characterization of the soils of the
Oregon IBP reference stands, development of information on the soils
throughout the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, and evaluation
of nutrient provision to the major kinds of soils. Field reconnaissance,
soil morphology studies, and sampling were carried out.
Lab analyses...

Field reconnaissance, soil sampling, and laboratory analyses were
conducted to characterize the soils of the 50 by 50 meter forest community
reference stand plots in and near the H. J. Andrews Experimental
Forest. Soil descriptions, chemical and physical properties, soil classification,
and nutrient capital information for mineral soils are summarized....
Thermal analysis was used to investigate the following seven
systems: H₂S-B₂F₄, SOF₂-B₂F₄, COC1₂-B₂F₄, SF₄-B₂F₄, Xe-BF₃, NF₃-BF₃, and NF₃-BC1₃. In two of the seven systems
compound formation was observed.
In the system, H₂S-B₂F₄ the compounds H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ and
2H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ are formed. The compound H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ has a melting
point of...
Intercollegiate wrestling at Oregon State University had its
inception on March 20, 1909. On that day, the Oregon Agricultural
College wrestling team wrestled in a home meet against the team
from Washington State College. The Beavers, under the tutelage of
their first coach Eddie O'Connell, won their first intercollegiate meet,...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether sex-role
identification differences among college students were related to place
of residence, and if so, whether certain factors affect these
differences. Six hypotheses were developed. The study sought to
ascertain if sex-role identification is related to certain dimensions of
peer association...
Absentee-owned manufacturing plants made up a significant
portion of the manufacturing sector in Oregon. In both 1969 and
1979, more than a quarter of the state's wage and salary
manufacturing workers were employed by manufacturers whose home
offices were located in other states or nations. Although the
orthodox economic view...
In November 1990, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 5,
placing an ultimate ceiling on local property tax rates of 1.5% of
market value (excluding specific levies for capital expenditure). Any
resulting shortfalls in local education revenues are to be made up by
transfers from state funds, at the expense of...
Professional school counselors are tasked with providing effective and relevant career counseling and career-focused activities with all K–12 students; however, the career domain remains the area where school counselors feel least efficacious and competent to broach as part of their role. Addressing the career domain in schools is vital as...
The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
Red Light Ladies presents a perspective on prostitution in North America, within the context of the western mining frontier. A biographical profile of the frontier
prostitutor is presented, along with an archaeological model of settlement patterns and material culture. Settlement patterns and demographic changes in the prostitutor
population are hypothetically...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a
significant difference existed between Oregon community college
transfer students and native students at Oregon State University with
respect to academic achievement, persistence, and graduation.
Two groups of students were selected for observation. The
first included all of the...
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
The average size and age of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) caught in commercial fisheries along the Pacific Coast
of North America have decreased substantially in this century. These
declines might be caused in part by changes in size and age at
maturity within the stocks contributing to those fisheries. Upriver...
