Nine small Mesozoic plutons in TJmatilla County, northeast Oregon, crop out within an area of 58 sq km in the Blue Mountains. The plutons are divided into an earlier series of probable Permian-Triassic age and a later intrusive series of probable Late Jurassic to Middle Cretaceous age. The earlier rocks...

This history concerns the scientific contributions of Charles
Babbage (1791-1871) to mathematics, to the invention of calculating
machines, and machine tools, to the development of scientific ideas
through a wide variety of scientific investigations and his involvement
in several different scientific reforms. Babbage considered himself
a philosopher in the broadest...
In this memoir, by alumnus and Zoology Department instructor William J. Gilstrap, the author details various aspects of his life, including: childhood in Missouri, student experience at Oregon Agricultural College (OAC) in the 1890s, and his medical practice in various Oregon locales. Gilstrap also describes in this narrative the origins...
Breeding habitat of Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus
histrionicus) was studied in eastern Prince William Sound,
Alaska, during 1991 - 1993. Streams in Prince William
Sound were surveyed for Harlequin ducks and monitored with
mist nets. Physical characteristics of 24 Harlequin
breeding streams were compared to those of 24 streams not
used...
During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio
addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to
speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty to warn Americans
against the perpetrators of this evil. But after 1934, the tone...
Dedicated to recording, portraying, and indicting
the social inequities that he witnessed in nineteenth
century Victorian England, one of Charles Dickens' many
concerns was the roles assigned to women both in the
public and private spheres.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the
narratives of Amy Dorrit and...
The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
The study of the question of why Shakespeare's Hamlet delays killing
Claudius in revenge for his father's murder is examined in light of the major
critical theories from neo-classical to modern scholarship. An expanded
treatment of the works of Fredson Bowers, Eleanor Prosser, Bertram Joseph,
and Roland Frye, is provided...
The Modern era, roughly the time between 1860-1930, brought about a significant restructuring of artistic mediums. From the canvas to the page, artists of the twentieth century turned towards collaboration as a means by which they could reconfigure their works. Painters, writers, and dancers, borrowed aesthetic techniques from one another...
Nineteenth-century England witnessed burgeoning urban growth and the resultant struggle of the poor to find adequate shelter. Against this backdrop, Charles Dickens was a fierce advocate for the rights of the street people of London to have sanitary and adequate housing, earning him the title of radical. By combining sentimentality...
This study was conducted in the old-growth forests of Clatsop,
Tillamook, and Lincoln counties, Oregon. The three objectives of
the research were to describe and classify the near-climax plant
communities found within the forests, to relate the associes described
by a previous study to the forest communities characterized by the...
The leaf- cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) is an important
alfalfa pollinator in western North America.
This study was designed to provide information on methods of
orientation used by M. rotundata in order to make recommendations
regarding the parameters within which adult nesting populations may
be relocated.
Preliminary studies suggest...
The objectives of this study are to: 1) study the variations
among stands of old-growth Sitka spruce forest located within a relatively
restricted geographical area, 2) determine the relationship between
species distribution, vegetational pattern, and such site factors
as slope and aspect, and 3) ascertain the abruptness of phytosociological
change...
The need for and problems related to string processing are
discussed and a definition of the term "string" is derived. A
brief review of some existing string processing systems leads
to the presentation of a design for a string processing extension
to the programming language Pascal. A rationale for the...
The present investigation was undertaken to characterize a
number of strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus intended for use by a commercial starter supply
company. Thorough characterization of each culture was required in
order to combine compatible strains so that their usefulness in
Mozzarella cheese manufacture would be maximized....
This study was undertaken to ascertain some of the physiological
effects of the herbicide atrazine on Douglas-fir seedlings.
Photosynthetic and respirational rates were measured on seedlings
grown in a controlled environment chamber. Height and dry weight
increases, shoot/root ratios and percent total nitrogen were obtained
from treated and control seedlings...
Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have less atherosclerosis than others with and without mental retardation (MR). Why individuals with DS do not develop atherosclerosis similarly to others is not known. The insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), a common neuroendocrine disorder underlying cardiovascular disease, has not been investigated in adults with DS...
A photographic band-ratioing technique was investigated.
The data source consisted of 70 mm Landsat Multispectral Scanner
(MSS) negatives. The process would require combining registered
positive and negative transparencies to achieve a ratio
modulation in the resulting print. This would also require
compensation for atmospheric effects on the original negatives by...
This research details the adoption, implementation, and outcomes
of Project C. 0. R. E. (Careers Oriented Relevant Education)
in District #19 junior high schools in Springfield, Oregon. Information
was gathered from teachers, students, and parents associated
with each District #19 junior high school via questionnaires, interviews,
and by field observations....
A possible form of a theory of exploitation of fish populations was examined. The exploitation theory was derived from a theory of community dynamics that represents the interactions between populations in a biological community with complex interrelated systems of isoclines on phase planes. The isocline systems are deduced, with a...
E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...
The effects of discharged sewage on physico-chemical conditions
and the distribution and abundance of marine benthic animals were
studied in Shilshole Bay, a part of Puget Sound, off Seattle,
Washington. For over 50 years prior to 1965, when this study was
initiated, 87,300 pounds (32,400 pounds BOD) per day of...
Dredged spoil plumes are monitored during nine hopper dredge
disposal events in 186 foot water depths offshore near Coos Bay,
Oregon. Position and solids volume concentration characteristics of
the plumes are established.
Computer simulations of the monitored events are executed using
the WES modified version of the Koh-Chang instantaneous disposal...
These studies are concerned with the forced motion of a two-degree-of-freedom system consisting of a "flexible beam" supported
by pendulum type hangers.
Using an asymptotic method, an approximate solution to the
nonlinear equations of motion was found. The solution takes the form
of a series in powers of the amplitude...
