The purpose of the study was to compare perceptions by faculty,
students and administrators of the campus environments of eight small,
independent liberal arts colleges in Oregon and to determine if similar
or like perceptions of the environment lead to greater vitality in each
of the colleges studied. In the...
This study examines the effect of mood and fairness
of treatment on children's generosity toward peers.
Thirty-one third and nineteen fourth grade males participated.
A positive or negative mood was induced using
recorded stories. Each child then played a ring toss
game for which he had been promised a certain...
Field and controlled environment chamber studies were carried out
to evaluate modes of action of post-harvest treatments on the development
and seed yield of cool season grasses. Red fescue (Festuca rubra
L.) was used as the primary test species.
There was no difference in total biomass production of red fescue...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of
the by-product, ryegrass straw, and the feed additive, monensin, on the
performance of feedlot lambs.
Four pelleted rations were fed ad libitum: Ration 1 - 50% barley,
50% alfalfa hay; Ration 2 - 50% barley, 50% alfalfa hay and...
The problem of the restoration of quadratically
distorted images is considered in this investigation, based
upon the fact that images formed by partially coherent
illuminations are related quadratically to the amplitude of
the object. Two of the most important problems in image
restoration are: 1) determining the degradation
characteristics of...
Chalkbrood is a mycosis of larvae of the alfalfa leafcutting bee,
Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). It is a serious threat to alfalfa seed
growers in western North America who use populations of this bee for
pollination. Basic studies were conducted to determine the etiology of
this disease and the course of...
Background: According to the National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), the treatment gap of any mental disorder in India among the general population was reported to be as high as 83% (R. S. Murthy, 2017). There is insufficient evidence currently describing the treatment gap among the child and adolescent population. Given...
The research presented in this thesis seeks to further our understanding of the geochemical signatures that can be used to trace and quantify non-ferrous smelting emission inputs into the environment. Strong evidence suggests that emissions from the non-ferrous smelter in Trail, BC are the primary source of metals deposited from...
Elodea densa Planch. was exposed to diquat (6, 7 dihydrodipyrido [1,2-a: 2', 1'-c] pyrazinediium dibromide), alone and in combination
with disodium endothall (disodium salt of 7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]
heptane-2, 3-dicarboxyclic acid), and copper sulfate pentahydrate.
Studies were conducted in coastal lakes of Oregon infested with E.
densa. Dichlobenil (2, 6 dichlorobenzonitrile)...
