The major purpose of this study was to examine relationships
among biographical characteristics, psychological characteristics,
motives for returning to school, and the need for student support
services among Reentry Women.
Primary objectives were to:
(1) examine biographical and psychological characteristics of
Reentry Women to determine if significant relationships
existed among...
The overall objective of this research project was to evaluate
the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) by the European flat oyster
(Ostrea edulis)-bacteria system. Individual oysters exist in nature
as "systems" with commensal microorganisms and should be recognized
as such when the metabolism of a specific environmental contaminant
is being studied....
Over the past 42 years clay smoking pipes have been excavated from two U.S. army posts, Fort Hoskins (35BE15) and Fort Yamhill (35PO75) and curated at Oregon State University. These two forts were established in Western Oregon in 1856 and by 1866 both had been decommissioned. Numerous theses have focused...
This is the first data report of a program designed to study physical
processes in Oregon shelf waters by means of moored instrument arrays.
Various statistics and plots of smoothed data are presented for time
series of current velocity and of temperature. Data were collected in
July, August, September, and...
The Conference Program for IIFET, held July 10-14 in Corvallis, Oregon. Program lists the sessions by date and time and includes the session titles, speakers and paper titles.
A significant proportion of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain, a category of disease that is not yet well understood by healthcare professionals. A majority of this group is made up of women; individuals who often have to convince healthcare professionals that their symptoms are real...

Focus on Forestry is published by Oregon State University College of Forestry. Our goal is to keep Forestry alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students informed about the College of Forestry and its many activities and programs.
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
Some parasites may modify the behavior of their
hosts. Altered behaviors may: 1) benefit the host in
that they defend against the pathogen, 2) benefit the
pathogen and represent manipulations of the host
response, and 3) benefit neither the host or the
pathogen and simply be a product of the...
Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village
complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal
bones recovered from the site offer the first significant
insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region.
Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented,
detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were
the primary meat resource...
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...
A greenhouse experiment was conducted in 1991 and in
1992 to determine the effect of soil water pressure on
potato (cv Russet Burbank) plant growth and infection by
Verticillium dahliae. Soil water pressures of -0.01,
-0.03, -0.08, or -0.15 MPa were combined factorially with
two inoculum concentrations, 0 or 10...
Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...

Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...

The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...
The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the 1981
recommendation by the Montana State Board of Public Education had in
fluenced actual implementation of sexuality education in that state.
The study also sought to describe sexuality education in Montana and to
assess perceptions of Montana public high...
The War Production Board issued limitation order 85 in April 1942 in order to conserve fabric and manpower needed for the war effort. The L-85 order froze the silhouette so no major style changes in women's wear would occur during the war. It is clear that on the one hand...
The Champoeg townsite first developed due to its ideal settlement and trade location within the Willamette Valley, becoming the ‘legal birthplace of Oregon’ in 1843. However, by 1860 Champoeg’s significance had begun to decline, and in December of 1861 a devastating flood wiped out the townsite. Archaeological excavations took place...
The stability of a limpet-dominated community was
assessed in a experiment in which an consumer was
temporarily removed. Compared to unmanipulated plots,
the limpet-exclusion plots developed greater algal
abundance and altered species composition of both algae
and barnacles. The community was not perturbed beyond
its capacity to recover, since the...

In the following pages the information, so far as it has been possible to obtain it, is given in the following order for each alumnus: Name, year in which the degree was conferred, degree, course, present occupation, and present mailing address.
The purpose of this study was to examine the responses to a mail
survey of a random sample of female subjects (Ss), who at the time of the

clerical specialists by the State of Oregon, in order to: 1....
Comparative morphological and anatomical studies of the dispersal mechanisms
characterizing the wheat complex (Triticum L. and Aegilops L.) have documented
patterns of adaptive radiation which may have significance for evolutionary
relationships. These patterns, which form an array of diverse types of diaspores
among the diploid taxa, appear conceptually to have...
