The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a
power lifting weight training program on the dynamic strength, static
strength and body composition of college females. Thirteen college
females volunteered for the study. The subjects trained three days
per week for a total of nine weeks which...
Although public sector unionism dates back at least
to 1916, collective bargaining emerged mid-century when
President John Kennedy signed into law Executive Order
10988 which established federal policy recognizing unions
for federal employees. Today all levels of public education
have unions. In today's community college, the curriculum,
the professional background...
Excised stem segments of vines had higher specific hydraulic conductivies (flow rate per pressure gradient per stem transverse area) than did trees during the dry season in a deciduous forest in Jalisco, Mexico. Vine species averaged from 2.7 to 203 x 10-3 m2 MPa-1 s-1 and tree species from 0.8...
This study examined the culture of Earth First!, an environmental
activist movement. The study was limited to two groups of Earth
First! in the Northwest, Corvallis and Eugene. The goal was to
discover what it is to be a communicatively competent member of Earth
First! The method used to address...
This study quantified the frequency of simple versus
complex races of Puccinia striiformis Westend. in mixtures
of wheat cultivars possessing different race-specific
resistance genes. A simple race of a pathogen can infect
only one component, and a complex race of the pathogen can
infect two or more components of an...
The Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions of five Cretaceous guyots (Limalok, Lo-En, Wodejebato, MIT, and Takuyo-Daisan) within the West Pacific Seamount Province (WPSP) indicate that they originated from geochemically enriched mantle sources. They are characterized by large isotopic variations in Pb (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.58-19.80, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.55-15.68, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb...
The septoria diseases of winter wheat are a limiting factor to wheat production in the Willamette Valley. This publication will describe the symptoms and development of the septoria diseases, including the influence of environmental conditions, the reactions of different cultivars to Septoria, the impact of Septoria on yield, and control...
Four experiments were carried out with broiler chicks from day-old to three or four weeks of age to assess the effects of nitrates and nitrites from calcium, potassium, and sodium salts in the drinking water of broilers on growth, body weights, feed utilization, blood chemistries, liver tissues, and lipid oxidation...
