During 1997–1998, we investigated the influence of both the relative abundance of truffles, preferred food
items, and microhabitat structure on the occurrence of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus Shaw) in oldgrowth
forest habitat of the Sierra Nevada Range, U.S.A. Following live-trapping sessions, we searched the forest floor
for truffle diggings...

Because of their high cost, reducing the number of boards used to fill an
order of dimension parts is an important goal in a lumber rough mill. FLCO
(Fuzzy Logic Cutting Order) is a computer program that achieves this goal.
Using the concepts of fuzzy logic control, FLCO provides a...
The advanced backcross-quatitative trait loci (AB-QTL) breeding method was employed on snap bean (OR 91G x PI433251B) and dry bean (M0162 x PI433251B) interspecific populations to transfer resistance QTL from resistant donor parent Phaseolus coccineus into P. vulgaris. For OR 91G x PI433251B, analyses produced nine linkage groups corresponding to...
This report is a concise summary of information,
ideas, and questions presented at a symposium on
phosphorus held at Oregon State University,
November 12, 1996. The primary purpose of the
symposium was to deal with issues of water quality
as they relate to livestock management in the upper
Klamath Basin....
The capacity for root growth and concentration of indole-3-acetic acid and abscisic acid in the roots of western hemlock seedlings was investigated. The root regenerating capacity (RRC) was defined as the increase in root length, greater than 5 mm, following a 28-day test period. RRC measurements over a two-year period...
Plants respond to defoliation in many different and complex ways, depending on their growth habit and form as well as the extent and duration of the defoliation. Tree crowns have been shown to be quite sensitive to disturbances such as defoliation, however quantitative relationships have rarely been developed, making the...
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between stress, health, and health behaviors. The population for the study was made up of 231 full-time employees from Eastern Montana College. The subjects completed the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS), the Seriousness of Illness Scale (SIRS), the La Crosse...
