My thesis examines perceptions of power in relation to white and black masculinity in the United States. The introduction invokes the work of Mireille Miller-Young, Hortense Spillers, Vincent Woodard and Hiram Pérez as a foundation to ground my discussion of agency, consumption, desire, homoeroticism and the characteristics of the Mandingo,...
The objective of this study was to determine the
feeding habits of the Mazama pocket gopher (Thomomys
mazama Merriam) in the pine region of south-central
Oregon. Damage caused by pocket gophers to conifer
regeneration was a major incentive for this research.
A permanent reference collection, consisting of
epithelial tissue from...
Reduction of pocket gopher damage to conifer seedlings is important to successful reforestation in many regions of the Pacific
Northwest. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that influence the local distribution of the northern pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides Richardson) in a forested region of south-central Oregon....
The objectives of this investigation were to examine the changes in vegetation resulting from application of herbicides, and to study the effects of these vegetative changes on the abundance and composition of small-mammal populations, and on deer usage of treated and untreated plots. Three areas in western Oregon were selected...
Despite relatively mild weather, black bears (Ursus americanus)
in southwestern Washington entered dens and remained for an average
of 126 days. Bears entered their dens during a 5-week period which
began on 21 October. A significant difference (P < 0.05) was found
among the average dates of den entrance of...
The purpose of this.investigation was to determine how enzymes and oxygen influence the role ascorbic acid has on pigment degradation and browning during storage for strawberry juice and concentrate.
The ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acid content of blanched and unblanched, nitrogen-treated and air-exposed samples of strawberry juice and concentrate was measured...
Oregon State University conducted a series of laboratory experiments to measure and quantify the near-field wave effects caused within arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC). As the waves and WECs interact, the WECs generate radiated waves; these effects vary with the location within the array. Analyzing the near-field waves will...
