Numerous isolates of Armillaria mellea were obtained within
a 250 by 450 foot Study Area in a ponderosa pine plantation in central
Oregon. These isolates were recovered from roots of armillaria-killed
young-growth pine, from large stumps of the former pine
overstory, including roots away from the stump proper, and from...
A study was undertaken to determine the reliability of the formation
of a line of demarcation between paired cultures of Fomes
cajanderi Karst. as an indicator of dissimilar compatibility genotypes.
The results were applied to an assay of the number and location of
compatibility genotypes in each of four glaze-damaged,...
In his Nick Adams stories, Ernest Hemingway traces the life of a single man as he moves from boyhood to adolescence to adulthood to fatherhood. From the beginning of Nick Adams life, it is clear that he does not fit into the role of the traditional hero. In addition, Nick...
Grazing experiments were conducted in summer, autumn and winter
to assess the effects of stock density, grazing duration, pre-grazing
pasture mass and stock type on forage intake by sheep grazing at high
stock densities for short durations. In summer and winter, sheep were
stocked at 200 sheep/ha on 0.1 ha...
Over the past ten years, reports of piracy and other forms of maritime violence have been dramatically on the rise. As these reports increase, so too does international attention toward how to solve this.

Soil bulk density and disturbance were measured before and after a commercial
thinning of 3 0-50 year-old Douglas-fir using a cut-to-length (CTL) and a skyline system
on the Willamette National Forest in the Oregon Cascades. A dual-probe nuclear
densimeter was used to measure bulk density at four and eight inches....
Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to
test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level
intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated
whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement
in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics.
EQUATIONS is...
