American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...
This is a bibliography of the work of T. L. Jackson, who conducted research at the North Willamette Research and Experiment Center. It is limited to those Extension publications and research reports that addressed the nutrient needs of fresh market and processed vegetables.
A cytogeographic study, the relationship between chromosome
number and geographical and ecological distribution, was made of the
tetraploid and hexaploid chromosome forms of Achillea millefolium L.
in western Oregon. Principal objectives of the investigation were
three. First was a determination of the exact distributions of the two
levels, as previous...
The present day vegetation pattern of the Willamette Valley is a result of a long past of human alteration of the landscape. Beginning with aboriginal burning of the grasslands to present day land uses, the vegetation of the valley has been affected by anthropogenic activity. Wet prairie is a vanishing...

Leonard Anderson was to recount his professional contributions to
the field of health and relate these to public health and health education. The major emphasis of this study concerned Dr. Anderson's
professional life.

This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
(SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973-
1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron
collision experiments using the...
In 1967, Doi et al. proposed the hypothesis that 'yellows type
diseases' are caused by mycoplasma. Since then more than 60
yellows diseases have been associated with mycoplasma-like bodies
(MLB) (Maramorosch, 1973). The majority of these associations are
based upon electron microscopic observations of mycoplasma-like
bodies in situ. However, little...
Red radish (Raphanus sativus L.) anthocyanins were extracted from liquid
nitrogen powdered epidermal tissue using acetone and chloroform and isolated using
C-18 resin. Chemical structure and conformation of major pigments were elucidated
by 1-D and 2-D NMR, Mass Spectroscopy, HPLC, and spectral analyses. Two novel
di-acylated anthocyanins, pelargonidin 3-0-[2-0-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(6-0- trans-p-coumaroyl-...
Eastern Filbert Blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miller, was first discovered in the Pacific Northwest in 1974. Orchard experiments suggest that the fungus completes its life cycle in two years. Infection takes place from mid-January to May, mainly through mite-galled-buds infested with an Eriophyid mite, Phytocoptella avellanae Nal....
