This thesis study attempts to differentiate between attention and
understanding as separate phases of communication theory. To do this,
additional analysis was made of data already gathered from a random
sample of Oregonians by the Survey Research Center at Oregon State University.
An additional objective was to determine the role...
The purpose of the workshop was to exchange information on sampling procedures, research methodologies, preparation and
interpretation of specimen material, terminology, and the application
and significance of findings, emphasizing the relationship of dendrochronology procedures to fire history interpretations.
The theoretical analysis of an unseeded, isothermal mixed-suspension
mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) crystallizer with a fines trap is developed.
The lumped parameter system equations are presented for a homogeneous
nucleation and a number-dependent secondary-nucleation model. Linear
stability analysis and system simulations are used to investigate the
system's dynamic behavior.
Modal control algorithms...
From January 1980 to January 1981 approximate monthly sampling of a unique rockfish (Scorpaenidae) fishing area on Heceta Bank, Oregon was undertaken using acoustic techniques and trawling aboard chartered commercial fishing vessels. Rankings of density of fish sign observed on acoustic transects were regressed against selected environmental variables. Acoustic abundance...
The effects of clonal variability, crown position of cones, and top-pruning of ramets to reduce height growth, on 1) the proportion of viable self-fertilized progeny (s) and 2) the proportion of filled seeds (PF), were investigated in a 20 year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.1 Franco) seed orchard. Cones were collected...
The purpose of this research was to investigate the
effectiveness of using an early childhood language intervention
program with children who had been determined to be
language delayed at the ages of 3, 4 and 5 and to determine
how the early childhood langauge intervention program was
associated with changes...
