This thesis seeks to explain how Lord George Gordon
Byron achieves catharsis through the writing of his truth
in Don Juan. In the poem the narrator expresses Byron's
innermost emotion while at the same time the protagonist,
Juan, relates to readers on a more conscious level. The
ability that Byron...

The number of varieties of ryegrass (Lolium spp.) has increased greatly in recent years. An accurate and rapid laboratory technique to identify these varieties would benefit the consumer as well as protect an organization's Plant Variety Protection rights. There is also a need for a technique to complement the seedling...
High protein wheat seeds frequently perform better than low
protein seeds of the same variety. Protein content of seeds can be
increased by management practices, the most important of which is
rate and timing of N applications. The purpose of this study was to
determine the chemical, biochemical and physiological...
The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...
Bacteria of the genus Klebsiella have been found to be
associated with redwood water storage reservoirs, redwood
chips, and liquid expressed from within living redwood. A
1,000 gallon experimental redwood reservoir was employed to
determine how to control the presence of Klebsiella and
Enterobacter in drinking water stored in these...
The thesis examines the applicability of a two-dimensional flow acceleration model to describe a terrain-induced flow perturbation as measured at Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. The geometry of Yaquina Head together with the upstream wind values were used in estimating hilltop winds. These estimates compare well with the...
This bibliography focuses on works that will provide the reader with supplemental resources on the history of ethnic minorities in Oregon. An effort has been made to highlight materials that are particularly appropriate for use in teaching students of various ages. The featured resources address all historical time periods, but...
The thesis area covers 165 square miles including the greater
part of the northeastern quarter of the Mitchell quadrangle in north-central Oregon. The three stratigraphic units exposed in the area
consist of a variety of Tertiary volcanic rocks including the Clarno
Formation, the John Day Formation, and the Columbia River...
There is an increasing need for development of laboratory
identification procedures for purposes of plant variety protection, seed certification, quality control and consumer protection. In the past there were fewer commercial varieties and field
testing methods based on morphological differences were used satisfactorily. These tests require several months to complete...
This research effort examined Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of Siletz tribal members of the environment they live and/or lived in, and how both Western societal beliefs and land reduction to the initially established reservation location affected and altered how the area TEK has been maintained and passed down. The theory...
Certain plant-associated prokaryotes such as Corynebacteriurn
fascians and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are known to produce substantial
levels of cytokinins. In view of the fragmentary and
presumptive evidence available on the quantitative and qualitative
levels of cytokinins produced by A. tumefaciens, it was decided to
conduct a study of the cytokinins produced...
