Includes 1922 Summer School Graduates.
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.
At the time of the eruptions of Lassen Peak in 1914-1915, an
area of vegetation along the east slope of the mountain approximately
1 1/4 miles wide and four miles long was destroyed. Except for a
few surviving trees, all vegetation was destroyed.
A study of the revegetation of this...
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...
The vegetation of the Oregon coast is characterized by a
variety of stages of plant succession which are repeated widely
throughout the sand dune area. During the years from 1960 to 1963
the gradation of upland sand dune succession was studied on 48 plots
within a 150 mile section of...
When nitrate is used in a biological electron transport
system as the final acceptor of hydrogen to form water,
the system is characterized as "Nitrate Respiration." However,
the quantitative expression of the over-all participation
of NO₃⁻(0) in the oxidation of glucose by denitrifiers
such as Pseudomonas stutzeri deserves clarification.
In...
The reactions of aldehydes with proteins are of nutritional and
physiological significance. The nutritive value of food materials can
be impaired by a reaction necessitating additional dietary protein,
and enzymes have been shown in vitro to be inhibited by reactions
with aldehydes.
Aldehydes present may arise from the autoxidation of...
Montane forest vegetation as it occurs on the east flank of the
central Oregon Cascades has provided excellent conditions for a
"natural experiment" in the use of various methodologies in studying
vegetational distribution. This "experiment" has reflected on some
theory and practice for the discipline of plant synecology. Detailed
descriptions,...
Two methods for the estimation of non-esterified fatty acids in
plasma were evaluated. An attempt was made to obtain a reliable
micro-technique to estimate these acids in blood fractions.
The titrimetric method of Trout et al. was satisfactory in the
analyses of pure fatty acids and fatty acids added to...
This paper discussed the human electrocardiogram, the instrumentation
used to graphically record it, and the design and performance
of a specialized system for vector cardiography: the Vector Electrocardioscope
(VECS) System. The introduction reviews in considerable
detail the pertinent known physiology of the heart, especially the
electrophysiology responsible for the genesis...
Chemical and microbial analyses were made at four seasonal intervals on soil horizons under red alder, conifers, and mixed
alder-conifers at the Cascade Head Experimental Forest, established in 1937 by the U. S. Forest Service near Otis, Oregon.
Microbial analyses showed that although plate counts of molds and bacteria fluctuated...
The purpose of this study was to compare the level of behavioral
understanding of preschool children of mothers who had observed in
the nursery school with the level of behavioral understanding of
mothers who had not observed. "Behavioral understanding" was defined
as a mother's degree of awareness of the factors...
Swamp rice offers tropical populations the most feasible means
of obtaining a dependable and plentiful supply of protein-rich cereals.
An acre of swamp rice land will support many persons and the crop
does not cause erosion. A further production of this type of rice appears
warranted in Sierra Leone and...
Malonaldehyde, a three carbon dialdehyde, is one of the numerous
carbonyl compounds associated with oxidative deterioration of
food lipids. It is assumed to be formed as a product of lipid autoxidation
occurring according to the generally accepted free radical
mechanism. This compound is of great interest because of its potential...
By salt depleting the animals or by injecting them with
aldosterone, I was able to increase the active transport of sodium
across the isolated skin. The potential difference was increased
by 37% and 43% respectively and the net sodium flux by 69% and
62%. Exposure of frogs to 50 mM...
A sequence of soil profiles was sampled along a climate-vegetation transect on the dated Mazama pumice fall in central
Oregon. The <2 μ size fraction from each sample was characterized
with respect to the relative significance of amorphous and
crystalline components, and the individual minerals of the latter
group were...
