Nitrogen availability in agricultural soils from fertilizer, plant residue inputs, and soil organic matter has important implications beyond crop yield. Legume winter cover crops and one fourth the recommended N rate on sweet corn resulted in yields equivalent to those at the recommended rate in the Willamette Valley of western...
Nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient for crop growth. Winter cover crops planted after a commercial crop is harvested, or relay planted before harvest, can provide N for subsequent crops, thus saving money and improving soil quality. Furthermore, cover crops can recover N remaining in the soil following summer crops,...
The theory of Biorhythms is an up and coming topic.
Its founding fathers: Dr, Fliess, Dr. Swoboda, and
Dr. Teltsher discovered the 23 day physical 28 day sensitivity,
and 33 day Intellectual cycles around the turn of the century.
Today, biorhythms are being looked at and studied
from many different...
Fifty species and subspecies and six varieties in eight genera of
the family Tabanidae are recognized from Oregon. The following genera
are represented in Oregon: Apatolestes Williston, Pilimas Brennan,
Stonemyia Brennan, Silvius Meigen, Chrysops Meigen, Atylotus Osten
Sacken, Hybomitra Enderlein and Tabanus Linnaeus. Adults and larvae
were collected from various...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
Understanding seasonal changes in growth, survival, and movement rates is
crucial to salmonid management. These life history characteristics provide a context for
evaluation of management actions. We evaluated the life history of individually
marked Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri in the South Fork John Day River basin in
Northeastern Oregon. This thesis...
In 1746, Dr John Buchanan, a recently retired medical officer in the British Army, produced a manuscript, 'Regimental Practice, or a Short History of Diseases common to His Majesties own Royal Regiment of Horse Guards when abroad (Commonly called the Blews).' Revised almost until the time of Buchanan's death in...
In 1960 a program of monitoring the zooplankton populations of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, was begun. The frequency of sampling was maintained at close to weekly intervals after 1 January 1963, usually at five stations. Abundances of all the species found in the bay of both meroplankton and holoplankton have been...
