Woody biomass of trees outside forests (TOF) is gaining increasing interest in many countries as it is a renewable energy source that has not been managed for bioenergy production. Our case study describes two independent approaches to assess regional area of TOF as a means for the biomass production potential...
Excessive nitrates in drinking water pose a human health threat, especially to infants. Methemoglobinemia, or blue-baby syndrome, is a potentially fatal condition that inhibits the ability of red blood cells to bind and transport oxygen. Nitrates/nitrites have also been linked to such conditions as cancer, birth defects, and behavioral and...

This study analyzed Thai textbooks as a dimension of research on
sex-role stereotypes in Thailand. One hundred and sixty-two stories
in Thai elementary school textbooks were investigated, using both
quantitative and qualitative methods of content analysis. This study
was a modified replication of Britton and Lumpkin's study (1977) and
partly...
Part I describes the synthesis of bis(fac-S)((tris)2-aminoethanethiolatoiron( III))iron(III) chloride. The compound was first discovered during an attempt to prepare a ternary complex of iron, thiolate and pi-acid ligand. The compound is a reasonably air-stable iron(III)-thiolate that contains a linear tri-iron cluster with each iron bridged to the adjacent iron by...
Fisheries nationwide are facing major challenges that require collection of real time (RT) and near real time (NRT) information. High-resolution RT and NRT data are critical for addressing a variety of fishery needs including quota accounting, observer coverage, bycatch management, electronic logbook and fish ticket requirements, research and monitoring, spatial...

Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a
two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...

This is a bibliography of doctoral dissertations and masters' theses in forestry and related topics issued during the period from July 1981 through June 1990. The colleges and universities included are all accredited by the Society of American Foresters. The actual listings were supplied by the individual institutions. Topics covered...
Hydroxyurea (10mM) blocks the exponential growth of Tetrahymena
pyriformis (GL-I) populations by arresting progress through the cell
cycle once the cells enter S-phase. Autoradiographic analysis reveals
that HU reduces the uptake of tritiated thymidine (³H-TdR) into
macronuclear DNA in S-phase cells to about 1/5 of that in untreated
S-phase cells....
Although employee theft is claimed by many authors to be a
significant problem in America with corrosive and damaging effects upon
business and society, very little research has been done to establish
the causes of such behavior. The purpose of this thesis was to identify,
discuss, and critically evaluate theories...
Site ORYA3, the Smith House, is located in Dayton, Oregon. The archaeological project originated because owners of this structure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, applied for a demolition permit. The 1859 home, first occupied by two early Oregon pioneers, Andrew and Sarah Smith, was considered architecturally significant,...
This dissertation develops a framework for Curandera feminism, informed by familial healing practices, women of color feminisms, and institutional critique. My research centers my family’s generational Curandera practices. As I honor the call to be critical of the master’s tools, I seek possibilities for institutional change through Curandera feminism. Institutions...
A technique was investigated in which a silicon crystal was
used as a very sensitive detector of sub-nanogram quantities of
boron. The unknown quantity of boron was spread uniformly on
the surface of an n-type silicon wafer which was then baked for
diffusion. The measured depth of the p-n junction...

This study describes and analyzes Oregon Trail related
exhibits of eleven museums and two interpretive centers
that are geographically located along the Oregon Trail
from Baker City, Oregon to Portland, Oregon. The exhibits
were featured at the facilities during the 1993 Oregon
Trail Sesquicentennial, a celebration that was initiated
and...
The progress report that follows includes research results ranging from unproved ideas to scientific papers published during the tenure of this contract. The end of the contract year finds several facets of our work in various states of preparation, therefore the reader is cautioned that all except the published papers...
The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...
The overall goal of the Greater Sage-grouse Comprehensive Conservation Strategy (Strategy) is to maintain and enhance populations and distribution of sagegrouse by protecting and improving sagebrush habitats and ecosystems that sustain these populations. This Strategy outlines the critical need to develop the associations among local, state, provincial, tribal, and federal...
The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems
has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper
use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical
nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation,
and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity.
More importantly, the...
Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
