Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the effect of teacher training on the nature and context of movement instruction in Oregon elementary schools. While there are numerous instructional guides and many anecdotal descriptions of classroom movement highlighting the work of movement arts specialists, to the best of our...
This monograph gives a brief biography of Grace McCormac French (1881- 1957), who was the "Bird Woman" of the Carlton and Dayton area in Yamhill County from about 1925 to her death. She wrote articles for newspapers, gave talks on radio stations, and spoke at many clubs about birds and...
The basaltic landscapes of the Oregon High Cascades form a natural laboratory for examining how geologic setting and history influence groundwater flowpaths, streamflow sensitivity to climate, and landscape evolution. In the High Cascades, highly permeable young basaltic lavas form extensive aquifers. These aquifers are the dominant sources of summer streamflow...
Both travel times and amplitudes of large offset refracted and reflected arrivals
observed during GLIMPCE (Great Lakes International Multidisciplinary Program on
Crustal Evolution) along line A in Lake Superior have been modeled using two-dimensional
ray tracing techniques. Forward modeling was used to iteratively refine an
initial velocity model that was...
The structure of the Royal Anne cherry cuticle (Prunus avium
L.) and its penetration by a SO₂-calcium bisulfite brine was determined. The structural features of the cuticle are interpreted in the
light of its possible significant to cuticular penetration.
The morphology of the cuticle was determined by standard
histological and...
Previous studies have revealed distinctive ecotypic differences between garter snakes living in the meadow and lakeshore environments around Eagle Lake in California. Snakes from these contrasting environments have significantly different growth rates, litter sizes, adult body size, annual survival, and coloration. To try and explain these differences, bird predation was...
Before discussing the American press of the day,
with its freedom and power, a brief historical review
of the development of journalism in its several functions
seems in place.
