Data were presented on epididymal spermatozoa from 29 inbred
and linecross bulls raised at Oregon State University in connection
with the Western Regional Beef Cattle Breeding Project, W-1. The
inbred bulls came from four inbred lines. Three of these inbred
lines were Herfords and the other line was Angus. The...
The production records used were all converted to a comparable
based, 305 day lactation period, two times a day milking, and
mature equivalent (305 days-2-x-ME) of 71 cows from four Holstein
bulls and 59 cows from four Jersey bulls were used for the study.
The Equal Parent Index, Regression Index...
Six experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
DES implantation on preweaning performance and sexual maturation
of male calves when implanted at various stages of development and
different sites.
Calves receiving DES implants in Experiments I and II were
implanted at birth, at birth and at about three months...

Distribution and juvenile habitat use of bull trout (Salvelinus
confluentus) were surveyed in selected areas of the Upper Willamette,
Deschutes, upper Yakima, and upper Cedar River basins in Oregon and
Washington from 1989 to 1991, using day snorkeling, night snorkeling,
and electrofishing. These methods were selected after a preliminary
diel...
This research sought to explore the implications of different tenure regimes for both
landscape-level ecological processes and the overall resilience of a social-ecological
system in Central Oregon. The purchase by an investor of former industrial timberlands
known as the Bull Springs tract raised the specter of dispersed residential development on...
There were two studies involved in the thesis research. In the
first study, variation in the amount of adenohypophysis gonadotropins
among 22 individual beef bulls were investigated. These bulls
represented four inbred lines, and six linecrosses. The bulls were
raised in the Oregon State University purebred herd.
The bulls were...
I. Frozen bovine semen samples were measured by flow cytometry
(FCM) to determine if FCM analyses could be useful for sperm quality
evaluation and prediction of bull fertility. Fluorescent dyes
utilized were acridine orange, to measure sperm nuclear chromatin
heterogeneity by quantifying susceptibility of the chromatin to
denaturation, and rhodamine...
An 18-year record of nitrate (NO₃), orthophosphate, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in four streams of the Bull Run
watershed, Oregon, was examined to determine its precision and time resolution. Of these four species, only NO₃ was found to be known to a sufficient level of detail for modeling and...
I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...
Resident bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) may be particularly vulnerable to human related disturbance, however very few studies have focused on resident bull trout populations. The abundance of bull trout is one measure of the strength and potential for persistence of a population. Habitat characteristics may influence resident bull trout abundance...
One of the greatest threats to native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations is the presence of non-native brook trout S. fontinalis. This study, conducted in two second-order Eastern Oregon streams, investigates the effect of brook trout on the feeding behavior arid diet of bull trout. Feeding behavior, microhabitat use, and...
Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...
Increasing demand for exploitation of natural resources
in federal-municipal watersheds in the Western United
States has caused conflicts involving municipalities, the
U.S. Forest Service, and community interest groups. Better
understanding of the resource management process is needed
to help resolve these conflicts.
The objectives of this study were to document...
Throughout the 20th century, windthrow has affected forests in the Bull Run watershed, a 26,500 ha basin that is the principal water source for the city of Portland, Oregon. Windthrow from storms in 1973 and 1983 was mapped into a geographic information system (GIS) and compared to a 1931 windthrow...
Distribution and life history characteristics of lacustrine-adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus
confluentus) were described in the North Fork Skokomish River Basin (including Lake
Cushman, a reservoir) from 1994 to 1996. Day snorkeling was conducted in the river to
determine initiation of the bull trout spawning migration, abundance of spawners, and
duration...
This dissertation focuses on the behavior of security returns around certain events that occurred in the Saudi stock market. In the first study, we measure and analyze the reaction of security returns around a major horizontal merger that occurred in the banking industry in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this...

Oregon's only remaining non-reservoir population of adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) is found in Odell Lake, in the headwaters of the Deschutes River. The population size is unknown, but appears to be quite small. Limited spawning and rearing habitats, combined with the effects of introduced species and other anthropogenic changes...
Traditional readings of George Bernard Shaw's texts suggest that he is not a pure
Marxist socialist because of the spiritual and nationalist aspects of his vision. This thesis
attempts to confront Shaw's politics in order to demonstrate that he indeed offers a viable
socialist program. Overlaying his socialism with Louis...
More than 1500 species of plants and animals in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Departments of Interior and Commerce are required, under Section 4(f)(1) of the ESA, to develop recovery plans for ESA-listed species under the respective agency...
