The purpose of this study was to determine whether knowledge
beneficial to an organization operating under normal conditions could
be gained by studying a manufacturing plant operating with salaried
personnel during a labor strike. It was hypothesized that no difference
in productivity would exist between the strike work force study...
This report reviews the 31 papers on machine learning that were presented at the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-85) held in Los Angeles during August, 1985. The papers are grouped according to a taxonomy of the various subareas of machine learning research. The areas receiving the most...

A series of chemical penetrants are employed to
investigate the chemical characteristics of size bonds in
different sizing systems. The bonding strength has been
proved to be determined by the type of bonding. In rosinalum
size the size bond is an indirect coordinate bond,
which is vulnerable to the attack...
The present bibliography is the third compilation by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) of theses and dissertations containing information on the geology of the state. It follows and incorporates the Bibliography of Theses on Oregon Geology by H.G. Schlicker (DOGAMI Miscellaneous Paper 7, 1959) and the...
Rocks are defined as aggregates or mixtures of minerals; rocks also include noncrystalline materials such as the natural glasses, and organic material such as coal. Rocks are found ready-made in nature. They are not homogeneous nor are they crystalline, although they may be made up of crystalline material. The composition...
Important records such as driver’s licenses, birth certificates, and insurance papers often are lost or damaged in a disaster. It is important to replace these as soon as possible because obtaining replacements may take weeks
or months.
Dry strength is an inherent structural property of a paper sheet. It is due primarily to the development of fiber-to-fiber bonds. Polyamines, especially polyallylamine·HC1 (PAA), were found to be suitable mordants for rosin sizing. However, their effectiveness as dry strength agents has not been studied. In this study polyallylamine·HC1 was...
Bacillus subtilis and essential oils have been explored separately for their ability to limit colonization by wood stain and mold fungi, but neither approach has been completely effective. One alternative strategy would be to combine the bacterial biocontrol with one or more natural products extracts. In this report, the ability...
A novel technology for processing pulp slurries with high inorganic filler content and at high consistencies (solids content) is extrusion. The paper industry waste comprises of fibers mixed with inorganic filler content. Using extruders similar to food extruders and consistencies ranging from 30-45%, profiles can be extruded from this waste...
White pitch deposits originated from the wood
extractives, synthetic polymers, and additives used in the
papermaking process, etc. may cause numerous problems to the
papermaking process and also degrade the product quality.
The timely analysis and characterization of white pitch
deposit is important for tracing the origin of the deposits....

Many paper products like towel and tissue cannot serve their purposes without temporary wet strength Glyoxal-polyacrylamide (GPA) resin is one of the widely used commercial wet strength additives that impart the temporary wet strength to paper and paperboard products However, GPA resin is derived from petrochemicals and contributes to contaminants...
As the options for open access publishing increase, scientists and students are a bit befuddled by the choices and the costs. Librarians are being asked difficult questions: Is this an okay journal to publish in? Is the editorial board reputable? How much is this going to cost? Is it worth...

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant issue among adolescents in the United States affecting 13% to 25% of young adults. In 2012, Arizona saw over 12,000 adolescents in emergency rooms due to self-injury. Approximately 50% to 85% of self-injuring adolescents will attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime. Adolescents...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...
Birds of prey and carnivorous mammals feed on small birds, rodents and other small mammals. Humans perceive many of the prey animals of these predators as well as the predators themselves, as “pests”, and seek to control them. Control methods for these unwanted pests, particularly rodents, have the potential to...

Four charges of S-inch paper roll plugs of Oregon maple were kiln-dried at various temperatures and humidities. The charge with the most desirable combination of short drying time and low degrade was dried to 12 per cent moisture content in lit hours, using a dry-bulb temperature of 160 degrees F...
This thesis is an arrangement of essays, poems, and journal entries expressing and
exploring experiences from the author's six years in a medium security women's
prison. They are collected around the themes of longing and grief, of despair, of
survival, of joy, and of the complexity of homecoming.
In 1861, in order to recoup foreign loans, France invaded Mexico. Assured by the Civil War in the United States that American response would be limited, Napoleon III undertook a scheme to replace the republican president Benito Juarez with a monarchy headed by the Austrian Archduke Maximilian von Hapsburg. Bracketed...

Studies were conducted to assess influencing the effectiveness of sheep for grazing control of false brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum) an invasive grass species. Orphan lambs were exposed to false brome via grass extract in their milk and naturally reared lambs were exposed by grazing dense stands of false brome with their...
