Increased energy costs have prompted the rural village of Galena, Alaska to explore viable alternatives for heat and power generation. Continued dependency on petroleum products will cause the community’s economic driving force, the Galena Interior Learning Academy (GILA), to face uncertain operability. A wood-fired boiler is scheduled to be installed,...
A variational integral method in the Fourier transform domain is
used to calculate the characteristic normal mode parameters of a coupled
pair of nonsymmetrical microstrip transmission lines in an inhomogenous
dielectric medium under quasi-TEM conditions. These together with the
theory of such structures are used to show that ideal directional...
A variety of soil properties have been proposed and tested as potential
indicators of soil quality. This study was conducted in an effort to produce a
standardized soil quality index for systems in Oregon. Soils in both forested and
agricultural systems were sampled in a wide variety of locations, climates,...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between moral development and year in school, gender, and personality type for university undergraduates. Moral development was measured by the Defining Issues Test (DIT) and personality was assessed using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The sample consisted of 320 freshmen,...
When voters considered Measure 37 in 2004, what it would do was a guessing game. Moreover, arguments made to justify the measure were untested. Today, three years and 7,462 claims later, what Measure 37 would do is increasingly clear. In addition, new research shows two key Measure 37 justifications were...

Senate Bill 100 (1973) and the Oregon Land Conservation and Development
Commission’s (LCDC) goals (1975) required:
- Cities to adopt urban growth boundaries (UGBs) to contain sprawl, and
- Counties to use zoning to limit 15.6 million acres of farmland to farm use, and 8.0
million acres of forest land...
Trapping migrating steelhead trout smolts was done in the spring and early summers of 1991 and 1992 as part of the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Calf Creek was monitored to "validate smolt output estimates" and to "determine if changes in habitat quality are occurring." (Introduction)
