This monograph gives a brief biography of Reed W. Ferris and discusses his vocational and avocational work at the Beaver cheese factory in Tillamook County, Oregon. From 1930 to 1943, Ferris banded nearly 33% of the birds banded along the Oregon coast that were later recovered. Ferris banded 8,000 seabirds...

Some kinetics of the oxygen requirement of amine oxidases
have been investigated using bovine plasma monoamine oxidase (PAO)
and pea seedling diamine oxidase (DAO). A system is described for
studying enzyme reactions under controlled oxygen tension and in an
O₂-free N₂ atmosphere.
O₂ Km values were determined at two different...
Roots of greenhouse-grown peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.)
plants and in vitro-grown shoot cultures were inoculated with Verticillium dahliae conidial suspensions to
study symptom development, detection, and elimination of the V. dahliae. There were significant
differences in the symptom expression of control and infected shoot cultures...
Genetic stability of micropropagated and cold-stored Fragaria x anannasa cultivar
'Pocahontas' was evaluated by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay.
Plantlets grown for eight months on M & S medium with 5 μM and 15 μM N6-
benzyladenine (BA) were analyzed. No evidence of mutations was seen in over 200...
Clay mineral genesis was studied in soils representative of several
different geomorphic surfaces in western Oregon, ranging in age from
Pliocene-early Pleistocene to late Pleistocene. Soil solution studies,
clay mineralogy, and soil raicromorphology were employed to provide
evidence of clay mineral synthesis and interpret soil genesis.
Soils at each study...
