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...
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)...
This research work investigates the use of production
systems as a model of parallel processing. The purpose of
the model is to provide a suitable medium within which parallel
processing systems can be systematically specified,
analyzed, and designed. Furthermore, the model provides a
suitable means for deriving implementations of synchronization...
The heartwood of mesquite (Prosopis juliflora var. velutina) and of Utah juniper (Juniperus utahensis) is generally considered to have outstanding decay resistance. Quantitative evidence of the juniper superiority appears in a study of old fence lines by Meagher. Nearly three fourths of the juniper posts averaging 3.6 inches in diameter...
Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was
described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four
wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and
11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made
of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...
Intelligent selection of wood for the job it is to do is particularly essential during wartime conditions of scarcity when supplies must be conserved and useful life extended. One way of increasing the service life of wood exposed to damp conditions is to select material that has a high natural...
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 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...
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...
Purpose of Study:
The purpose of this study was to find the specific qualifications
of a programmer in order that counselors and educators can better
advise students who are interested in electronic data processing for
career purposes. The information received from the data processing
companies will offer some criteria on...
In Oregon, "Incompetent to Stand Trial (1ST) Patients" were observed to be increasing in number, remaining in the hospital longer, and costing more to treat. A study was designed to investigate variables that could be used to predict their length of stay at Oregon State Hospital. Data for thirteen independent...
