Flat, laminar, premixed hydrocarbon-air flames were stabilized
on a porous-plate burner. In addition to temperature profiles,
concentration profiles were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene,
propane, acetylene, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen. Dead space thickness, luminous flame zone
thickness and hydrocarbon disappearance point responses were also
monitored....
Leptarctia californiae (Walker) was studied on clear and semi-forested southern slopes in the Coast Range Mountains of Benton County, Oregon. The spring of 1965 had an unusually long warm period (21 days) resulting in adult emergence approximately 25 days earlier than in the cooler spring of 1966. Peak flight activity...
The composition and some qualitative aspects of ground beef
offered for sale in Corvallis, Oregon were studied. Samples were
purchased from six retail markets twice weekly throughout a six
week test period. Three stores were independently owned and operated
and three were chain stores.
Differences in moisture, fat and protein...
Malonaldehyde, a three carbon dialdehyde, is one of the numerous
carbonyl compounds associated with oxidative deterioration of
food lipids. It is assumed to be formed as a product of lipid autoxidation
occurring according to the generally accepted free radical
mechanism. This compound is of great interest because of its potential...
The Enhanced Data Collection Project (EDCP), administered by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, collected data on discard rates for groundfish species and bycatch rates of prohibited species. From late 1995 to early 1999 EDCP observers collected discard data from 235 fishing trips by 25 trawl vessels that voluntarily...
Oregon leads the U.S. in the number and extent of established collaborative groups on national forests. Understanding similarities and differences in Oregon’s current forest collaboratives may aid more informed approaches to peer learning, policy, and technical assistance in public and private land natural resource management across the U.S. West. Our...
This is the third study of farm labor the Agricultural Experiment Station has completed for the Oregon Strawberry Commission. The first was completed for the 1987 harvest season. The second was completed for the 1989 season. This report covers the 1990 harvest year. The strategy for this study has been...
