In this paper we characterize changes in the level and spatial distribution of fishing effort during the extreme ocean temperature event known by oceanographers, climate scientists, and the public as “the Blob.” The Blob was an unprecedented marine heatwave that occurred off of the Pacific Coast of North America from...
The financial aspects of divorce are of great importance
to the growing numbers of men, women, and children
who live with the consequences of economic decisions
made at dissolution. The purpose of this study

in Oregon after ten or more...
Fisheries management is increasingly being conducted at finer scales of spatial resolution. The spatial distribution of fish stocks is recognized as being an important aspect of stock abundance and spatial management tools, such as marine reserves, have become common. Information on the spatial distribution of fishing effort is critical to...
The Second Pandemic had a profound impact on the people of Europe. In the few years between 1347 and 1350, a new epidemic disease spread across the entirety of Europe and killed between one third and two thirds of the population. While this initial wave was important, the real significance...
The interrelationships between physical measurements, dietary
intake of specific nutrients, and plasma lipids were examined in 19
healthy elderly subjects. The mean blood pressures, relative weights,
and skinfold thicknesses were within normal ranges, although women
tended to be more overweight. Systolic pressure and relative weight
were associated with increased body...
Techniques were developed for extracting histones from isolated
chromatin of encysted embryos of Artemia salina. Histone extracts
from embryos collected at eight time intervals after rehydration and
initiation of development were analyzed by electrophoresis for qualitative
and quantitative changes in composition. Histone to DNA ratios
were determined for the same...
Although there is information available on the distribution of
phospholipids in human serum and red cells, very limited data have
been reported for white cells and platelets. To the knowledge of the
author, no data have been reported on the distribution of phospholipids
among the four blood fractions, of individual...
Wendy Bishop's lively voice and scholarly contribution continue to resonate and be important in composition studies. Bishop--poet, scholar, feminist, teacher, ethnographer, and compositionist--sought to blur the lines between creative writing and composition. This thesis argues that in challenging the boundaries that exist between creative writing and composition, Bishop also challenged...
This study was designed to determine personal and professional
traits of effective and ineffective selected home economics teachers of
sophomore girls and to discover if characteristics of effective and
ineffective teachers varied between large schools of 1,000 or more
pupils and small schools with 500 or fewer students.
A survey...
This exploratory study examined the estate planning knowledge
and actions of married couples in Oregon. The specific objectives of
the study were: (1) to determine couples' estate planning knowledge

existed between couples' estate planning knowledge and their estate
planning...
This study was designed to determine the differences and similarities among first-year
accounting curricula in high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges in Oregon. The
areas studied were teaching methods, testing methods, communication skills, evaluation methods
used in the communication skills, inclusion of necessary computer application skills, and the testing...
Agricultural production in the Sahelian region of Africa is
among the lowest in the world. Cyclical infestations of locusts and
grasshoppers have contributed to this low productivity. The infestations
appear to be triggered by heavy rainfall at the beginning of a crop season
after extended drought. Because locusts and grasshoppers...
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education program (EFNEP) helps limited income families in Oregon improve their nutrition practices. These include learning to: □ Stretch family food dollars □ Choose foods for better nutrition for family members □ Purchase food for nutritional needs □ Improve food production, preparation, storage, safety, and...
With the neuromuscular performance deficit typically associated with aging, the maximum rate of response of the individual is diminished with advancing age. Physical activity has recently been examined as a possible factor delaying the aging process as it relates to neuromuscular performance. This investigation examined folk dancing as a potential...
