The purposes of this investigation were: (l) To attempt to
determine how well programs of guidance services were felt to be
functioning in meeting the needs of pupils through an analysis of
guidance services in selected high schools in Oregon, and (2) To
develop recommendations for improving programs of guidance...
The major purpose of this study was to determine the current status
of family life/sex education programs in the public high schools of
Oregon. A mail questionnaire was submitted to all health teachers in
all the high schools in Oregon. The questionniare was mailed twice to
447 health teachers in...
Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships
between age, sex, eye-hand coordination, the time it takes individuals
to learn how to manipulate dental floss between all of their teeth, and
the time it takes individuals to learn how to effectively clean their
teeth with dental floss.
The...
Comparative morphological and anatomical studies of the dispersal mechanisms
characterizing the wheat complex (Triticum L. and Aegilops L.) have documented
patterns of adaptive radiation which may have significance for evolutionary
relationships. These patterns, which form an array of diverse types of diaspores
among the diploid taxa, appear conceptually to have...
Aggregate, which consists of crushed rock, sand, and gravel resources, is one of the most extracted resources in Oregon. Floodplain sites throughout the Willamette Valley -- particularly along the Willamette River -- are of particular importance because they produce high quality sand and gravel, located close to the aggregate market....
This thesis presents an examination of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer
under conditions of significant sediment response. Using both field observations and
simple models, the response of the bottom boundary layer to random waves is shown to
have a complex behavior. First, the linearized wave bottom boundary layer governing...
A 24 bed community hospital was the setting where a comparison
of shared and traditional pharmacy services took place. This study
also provides a model for implementation of shared pharmacy
services for health care professionals faced with improving the
quality of patient care and controlling costs.
Curry General Hospital and...
Using clones to regenerate a species new to clonal reforestation presents the forest manager with many problems. A number of interrelated and interdependent research and development activites are needed to answer these technical questions. Network diagraming was used for scheduling research activities and for indicating interdependencies among activities. The resultant...
