Ponderosa pine trees exhibiting large oval scars on
their trunks are found in northeastern Oregon. Patterns
in the occurrence and morphology of the scarred trunks
raise questions of archeological interest. Examination of
ethnographic sources from the Pacific Northwest indicate
that the bark of ponderosa pine was peeled to obtain the...

This thesis reports on an investigation of flow patterns in
shallow geothermal wells in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Although
wells have been extensively used in the area, the exact nature of
the flows in the wells has not been characterized.
Flow characterization is a principal object of this study.
Horizontal crossflows...
It was observed that certain myoelectric surface
potentials are of a pulse nature. The pulses have nearly
the same exact waveshape, but are asynchronously
repetitive.
Physiological evidence indicated that myoelectric
pulses are concurrent with the activity of a small unit
of organized muscle fibres (motor unit). The electrical
activity of...
The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
