The behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was assessed
with and without exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1260).
After describing the crab's behavioral repertoire, activity budgets were
developed from observations of the time crabs spent in 20 categories of
shelter use, posture, and activity while held in habitat replicas...
Microtus canicaudus Miller, the gray-tailed vole, was studied
in the field and laboratory in order to clarify aspects of the relationship
of this species to its habitat. All trapping and sampling was done
on permanent pasture land in the William L. Finley National Wildlife
Refuge 12 miles south of Corvallis,...
A primary objective of the management practices of the Oregon
State Game Commission is to maximize and sustain the annual harvest
of salmon and steelhead by sportsmen fishing in Oregon. Assessment
of these practices is dependent upon an accurate determination of total
annual sports harvest throughout the state.
Present total...
In an attempt to improve the mid-season forecast of filbert
production, objective measure techniques were started in 1955 on an
experimental basis. In the following years an adjusted ratio estimate
was used to forecast the filbert production. The purpose of this
study was to review the different assumptions and consider...
The purpose of this study is to determine if the problem of
scheduling instructors to classes can be formulated as a linear
program involving integer variables limited to values of zero and
one. Once such a formulation is accomplished, attempts at electronic computer solution of the problem are considered.
Specifically,...
Reports of foodborne outbreaks have increased in the last decade, posing a public health risk to consumers. In an attempt to mitigate this risk, the newly established Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) takes a preventive rather than reactive approach to food safety. Under FSMA, producers are required to validate...
In the study of uniform convergence, one is led naturally to
the question of how uniform convergence on subsets relates to uniform convergence on the whole space. This paper develops theorems on how pointwise convergence relates to uniform convergence
on finite sets, how uniform convergence on finite subsets relates to...
