Field studies were conducted in 1975 and 1976 to evaluate
sequential sampling plans for the redbacked cutworm, Euxoa
ochrogaster (Guenee), in Oregon peppermint. Sequential sampling
resulted in reliable decisions concerning whether or not cutworm
densities were high enough to justify treatment with insecticides.
The use of sequential sampling reduced the...

Rubus spp. seeds have a thick protective endocarp and testa (seedcoat) that can
restrict germination even under favorable conditions. The effect of pregermination
treatments were studied in Rubus chamaemorus L., R. eustephanos Focke ex Diels, R.
idaeus 'Amber' L., R. leucodermis Douglas ex Torrey & A. Gray, R. multibracteatus A....
The North Pacific humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population has been increasing at an average annual rate of ~6% since the early 1990s. In northern Southeast Alaska alone, there are now more whales than estimated for the entire North Pacific several decades ago. An understanding of how this growing population is...
Several series of measurements of the hydrography, currents,
and winds during the past ten years are used as a basis for an overview
of the physical oceanography and meteorology during the
upwelling season near Newport, Oregon. Data are described using
elementary statistics, progressive vector diagrams, coordinate system
independent spectra, and...
Studies on net carbon exchange, ¹⁴
C assimilation, and growth
analysis were done on four cultivars of high yielding soft white
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), Anza/Sturdy, Hill-
81, Stephens, and Yamhill, which differ in morphology, maturity,
and yield, to see if differences in production and distribution
of...
Numerous managerial and organizational theorists have worked to
develop a set of concepts and theories that encapsulate the key elements of
leadership. Contemporary research links leadership to such matters as gender and
organizational mission or focus. The present study was undertaken in response to
a new approach to leadership theory...
As demands for major, system-wide reforms in the American welfare system are being

evaluate those programs which have attempted to foster a reduction in the level of public
assistance subsidies and, particularly, programs that are...
