This document provides the latest science and best biological judgment to assist in making management decisions. Fortunately, recent emphasis on sage-grouse conservation has resulted in a substantial number of publications dealing with a variety of aspects of sage-grouse ecology and management, summarized in the 2010 listing petition (75 FR 13910),...
The 1971 report includes catch/effort data and reviews of the major groundfish fisheries. The report also includes historic trawl fishery data of all agencies and their current market sampling techniques.
In 1961, the Technical Sub-Committee of the International Trawl Fishing Committee considered the petrale sole fishery: regulations, statistics, a report on fish-tagging experiments, and trends for the fishery. The group also considered mesh sizes and minimum sizes regulations for all species of bottomfish, and the Russo-Japanese fishery in the Eastern...
The 1963 report includes status reports on important bottomfish fisheries, a review of catch/effort assessment techniques, a catalog of market sampling techniques, a summary of otter trawl regulations, and preliminary results of fish-tagging experiments.
The 1969 report included catch/effort data, reviews of major fisheries and cumulative summaries of fish-tagging studies. Other topics considered included size limits on ling cod and sablefish. A new data exchange of computer programs was initiated. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations in effect as of July...
In addition to the standard reports on the status of major fisheries, catch/effort data, and cumulative groundfish tag recoveries, the 1968 report focused on the developing hake fishery and international fishery issues. A new agreement with the Soviet Union lessened the presence of the Soviet fishing fleet off the coast....
The 1970 report considers catch/effort, statuses of major fisheries, and cumulative fish tagging data. Other topics included a groundfish bibliography, international fishery problems, and the sablefish fishery. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations and their rationale as of July 1, 1970.

One of the least studied areas of Information Foraging Theory
is diet: the information foragers choose to seek. For
example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do
they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do
their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate
"what" and "how"...

Presents properties of wood and wood-based products
of particular concern to the architect and engineer. Includes
discussion of designing with wood and wood-based products
along with some pertinent uses.
The USDA Forest Service has an outstanding scientific resource in the 77 Experimental Forests and Ranges that exist across the United States and its territories. These valuable scientific resources incorporate a broad range of climates, forest types, research emphases, and history. This publication describes each of the research sites within...
The purpose of this thesis is to aid in qualitative improvements to technical support documents on the Internet. By using a generic criticism this analysis will make substantive suggestions towards the improvement of this type of document by engaging the rhetoric employed by their authors. It will discuss the history...
The purpose of the study was to identify a list of skills, knowledges and related factors that are common to fourteen occupational cluster areas representative of the work community of Oregon. PROCEDURES A list of skills, knowledges and related factors needed for successful employment was derived from existing task analyses...
Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...
We present a methodology for creating a simulated foam microstructure for use in forward simulations of wave equations to quantitatively analyze the expected scattering phenomenon primarily responsible for the attenuation of interrogating signals in Sprayed-On Foam Insulation (SOFI). Our approach builds off of the popular use of Voronoi Tessalations for...
We consider an SI model of three competing species that are all affected by a single pathogen which is transmitted directly via mass action. The total population sizes of the three species satisfy a three-dimensional Lotka-Volterra competition model. We address the interaction between competition and disease dynamics, and show that...
We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in, several higher order (in space) staggered finite difference schemes for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the...
Evidence supporting the contribution of American high school
curricula to student transition from school to work was inconclusive.
Social science research indicated that high school programs had little
effect upon student achievement after leaving school. This study
developed a model to identify factors that influence the transition
from school to...
This report presents data collected on six cruises made during the months May-October 1972 along the Oregon coast. Both complete data listings and sequential surface data contour charts are presented. The latter graphically display rapid changes in surface water characteristics on time scales as short as a few hours.

The Office was created by the Vice Provost for Student Affairs in July, 2002. Rebecca A. Sanderson, PhD, was the first Director for this office.
Industrial training in the Fashion Apparel Industry is confronted with difficult objectives. In this industry, continual style and fabric change challenge the effectiveness of conventional industrial training techniques and concepts. To meet this challenge, the "Self-Help" training concept was developed. "Self-Help" centers around the philosophy of training sewing machine operators...
This critical review of literature on dissolved oxygen requirements of freshwater fishes is one of a series of papers on water quality criteria, the formulation of which is a prerequisite to the
control of water pollution. It was prepared for FAO by the State of

The purpose of this report is to review existing wildfire prevention activities and recommend strategies to reduce the number and severity of human-caused wildfires in Oregon.
Oregon’s forest protection system was created in 1911. At that time, timber harvesting, forest management, and other land-clearing activities were the predominant uses of...
In the summer of 1931, the author investigated Tillamook, Netarts, and Alsea bays to determine their suitability for oyster culture. He also investigated the state of oyster growing in Yaquina Bay, the only place in the state where oysters were grown commercially. This is an unpublished manuscript that was distributed...
