Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...
The gastrula of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was dissociated into single cells. In culture these cells appeared
apolar, but reassembled into quasi-normal embryos composed of
structures with polarized cells. In this study emphasis was placed on
those morphological events coincident with the reestablishment of a
polar orientation within the...
Spores of Equisetum were germinated and the resulting
gametophytes grown to maturity in standard microcultures. Light and
electron microscope observations were made of the chloroplasts
within the gametophytes.
These chloroplasts were found to be oval to dumb-bell shaped
organelles possessing organized grana. By means of time-lapse
movies they were shown...
This thesis examines factors limiting understory herb presence and flowering in young second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA. I studied the belowground effects of canopy trees on understory herbs and shrubs in old-growth forests using trenched plots from which tree roots...
Fuels management on Bureau of Land Management lands in SW Oregon, USA, is motivated by the needs to reduce fire hazard and restore ecosystems thought to be impacted by fire suppression. Chaparral is one of the most characteristic vegetation communities of SW Oregon's interior valleys, and extensive acreages within this...

Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni; hereafter elk) populations in northeast Oregon have declined in the past 10 to 20 years. Concurrent with these declines, cougar (Puma concolor) populations have apparently increased, leading to speculation that predation by cougars may be responsible for declining...
Asians are a minority group that are scarcely represented throughout Hollywood and the film industry. Even when there is some type of inclusion, they are often subjected to stereotypes that have been perpetuated for decades. This contributes to shaping how Asian and Asian Americans are perceived, as well as the...
The Vietnamese population that migrated to the United States is largely tied to South Vietnam. As the population settled, their strong opposition to communism has driven many in the community towards political alignment with the alt-right and even white nationalists. The proximity to these movements and their seeming tolerance of...

The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill operated between 1890 and 1962. The mill produced predominately woolen blankets and woolen fabrics for outerwear garments. Mission Mill Museum Association purchased the woolen mill after its closure in order to develop the property as a museum. The purpose of this study was to provide...
The relationships between black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) herbivory and understory vegetation in unmanaged forests in Olympic National Park were studied from 1985 - 1989. From 1985 to 1986 I studied the impact of cervid exclusion on shrub, fern, and forb forage quality, tannin...
