The purpose of this research was to examine factors associated
with the social climate of single-sex and coeducational residence
halls, fraternities, sororities, and cooperatives on the Oregon State
University campus.
The primary sources of data for this study were student
responses to the ten subscales of the URES Form R,...
Concern over the need to provide open space in communities
for recreation and other uses and to estimate the public values
involved is apparent to regional planners. This need, particularly
evident in natural resource planning, indicates that more sophisticated
analytical techniques be developed.
The primary thrust of this study is...
The major focus of this research was to examine the factors, both
instructional factors and student factors, that influence student
gains in economic knowledge in economic education. This study sampled
twelfth grade students from randomly selected high schools in the
Williamette Valley of Oregon. The stepwise regression analysis was
used...
Effective chemical control of pollination would
provide an alternative to the cytoplasmic male-sterile
system in hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production.
The objective of this study was to determine
concentration, formulation, growth stage of application
and genotypic effects on levels of induced pollen
suppression and subsequent natural out-crossing from
foliar...
Postpartum uterine inflammation (endometritis) is not uncommon in beef cattle, resulting in infertility and culling. Prolonged calving may contribute to the increased incidence of endometritis in heifers. Commonly used methods to treat endometritis in beef cattle include intrauterine antibiotics and/or hormone injections, which can result in meat residues. Platelet rich...
The morphology and genesis of soils of the Willamette series
and of some Willamette-associated soils and their relationships to
geomorphic surfaces were studied in an area near McCoy, Polk
County, Oregon. Influences of regional extent, such as climate and
parent material, were related to the soils and landforms. The soils...
Hill plots and near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy were
investigated as breeding tools to facilitate doubled haploid recurrent
selection for malting quality characters in spring barley. Main
objectives of this research were to i) compare hill and row plot
expression of agronomic and malting quality traits in an array of...
I evaluated the use of various wetlands by wintering ducks in
the Tulare Lake Basin (TLB), California, during October 1982 - April
1983 and September 1983 - March 1984. Aerial waterfowl counts of the
TLB were used to document spacial use patterns by ducks. Ground
surveys on evaporation ponds in...
