Meteorological aspects of geothermal energy development are first
discussed in general terms. An instructive case study is then presented
of a hypothetical 100 MW geothermal electrical generating plant at
a site near Vale, Oregon. Long-term climate data from Ontario Airport
near Ontario, Oregon, are used to describe meteorological characteristics
of...
This study was designed to determine personal and professional
traits of effective and ineffective selected home economics teachers of
sophomore girls and to discover if characteristics of effective and
ineffective teachers varied between large schools of 1,000 or more
pupils and small schools with 500 or fewer students.
A survey...
Photolysis of pentachlorobenzene was carried out in the absence
of an electron donor species at 254 nm in cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide surfactant solution. The results are consistent with the
excited triplet undergoing homolytic cleavage of a C-Cl bond in
competition with formation of the excimer, in which the radical anion
undergoes...
This work was performed on Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae), to
clarify the pattern of morphological variation between the small-flowered
populations at the northern limit of its range ( T. parviflorum Soukup) and the
larger-flowered populations from southern Oregon and northern California. It was
hypothesized that only a single species of...
This study sampled the work activities of community pharmacists in eighteen western Oregon pharmacies (9 chain and 9 independent, stratified by daily prescription volume). Utilizing a technique of recording at least 960 observations in each pharmacy, a total of 41,542 observations were recorded into 28 mutually exclusive task activity categories....
Both oxy-Cope and siloxy-Cope rearrangements involve
(1, 3) and (3, 3) sigrnatropic shifts. Both the concerted mechanism,
and the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate are possible.
In a cyclic system such as cis-l-vinylcyclooct-3-en-l-ol, the thermal
rearrangement takes place preferably through a diradical intermediate.
At high temperature, the reaction also...
The study explored a model that integrates human
capital, family resource, employment and psychosocial
factors to explain variation in economic self-sufficiency
(ESS) among single mothers. A sample of 851 single mothers
on Aid to Families with Dependent Children was selected from
the Washington State Family Income Study data base. Data...
