From the 1860s into the 1920s Edward Sylvester Morse (1838-1925) was a staunch advocate of Darwinian evolution and of science education in the U. S. and likewise for several years in Japan. He had a major impact on the American public’s understanding of evolution, both before and after he became...
Sediment transport measurements on Flynn Creek, a headwater stream in the Oregon Coast Range, have illustrated the magnitude of
fluvial transfer processes, primarily of the bedload component, during a moderate storm runoff season (1979 water year). The total dissolved solids concentration of storm runoff averaged 40 mg/L, and was independent...
Because Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii(Mirb.)Franco] bark is a raw material produced in our renewable forests along with wood, an understanding of the ultrastructure of bark cells is of paramount importance if wood technologists are to utilize the bark to the fullest potential. The objectives of this study were to develop microscopic...
Using Southeast Asian hardwood veneers for exterior plywood siding
has caused problems because some species produced quality plywood while
other species produced plywood which delaminated soon after being put
in service in exterior exposure. This study attempted to improve the
durability of glue bonds of some Southeast Asian hardwood veneers...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the occurrence and characteristics of undercut streambanks in forested headwater streams of the Oregon Coast Range. Undercut streambanks and associated reach characteristics were surveyed along 46 sample reaches (each 152 m in length) in 8 streams; all sample reaches occurred in unmanaged forested riparian...
THE PROBLEM. The problem was to study the recreation resource-
user and to determine attitudes, characteristics and relationships
between selected variables common to these users.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY. The purpose of the study was to
examine:
1) Who are the recreation resource-users of the Bend Ranger
District, Deschutes National...
Effect of temperature on seed dormancy, alpha-amylase activity and kernel weight in five wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties was studied. Three ripening temperature conditions - 15.5°C, 26.6 °C and "Field" were used to induce dormancy. Alpha-amylase activity and kernel weight of developing kernels was determined every ten days after anthesis...
This research provides information on the distribution of an
unexploited Roosevelt elk population in unaltered habitat in Olympic
National Park. Radio-telemetry was used to document home range and
habitat use by 11 adult cow elk in the Hoh Valley during March 1978,
from 10 June-15 September 1978, and from 1...
During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio
addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to
speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty to warn Americans
against the perpetrators of this evil. But after 1934, the tone...
