Over two million people experience homelessness in the United States, but homeless people are often marginalized by invisibility and stigmas surrounding poverty within their local communities. This research seeks to amplify the voices of Corvallis area homeless women as a means to understand their everyday lived experiences. Six women residing...
While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The...
A biosystematic investigation was undertaken in 15
species and three subspecies of the genus Aster, in western
North America. Previous studies had been based entirely on
external morphological features, and it was believed that
much could be learned about the natural affinities of the
taxa by exploring their cytological and...
The purpose of this study was to identify significant differences
in body composition, body cathexis, and attitudes toward obesity
of women in various age groups involved in different levels of physical
exercise.
A total of 216 women, ranging in age from 17 to 64, took part in
this study. They...
Esophageal fistulation, stomach content analysis, fecal analysis,
and ocular-estimate-by-plot are four of the most publicized methods
of determining the diets of large herbivores. The principal objective
of this study was to compare the relative values of each of these
methods based upon information collected from bi-fistulated (esophageal
and rumen) sheep...
Studies were conducted to establish some characters which
could be used, either in the field or in the laboratory, to differentiate
between annual ryegrass (Oregon), Lolium multiflorum Lam. , and
Linn perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L.
Vernation, percentage of glumes covering the spikelets, and
height of seedlings seem to be...
Research studies indicated that differences in cognitive
processing style influence individual behavior on various types of
tasks. This study investigated the effect of the cognitive style
dimension, field independence-dependence, on the metacognitive
functioning of individuals involved in three problem tasks which
varied in inherent structure.
Twenty-six subjects were randomly selected...
