This study concerns factors affecting production and survival
of ascospores of Elytroderma deformans (Weir) Darker, a needle
cast of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.).
The results show that summer cooling and a reduction in host
vigor delays and diminishes the number of fertile hysterothecia
produced. Evidence is offered for classification...
This study concerns the effect of pre-harvest killing of commercial
sized, forty year old western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla
(Raf.) Sarg.) on subsequent stump infection by Fomes annosus (Fr.)
Karst. Further evaluations were made on tree drying, loosening of
bark, wood deterioration and rate of crown and cambial death. Findings

A cultural landscape analysis of two historic cemeteries in St. Paul, Oregon demonstrates that the residents of this early community were unknowingly using grave markers to express their worldview and the identities that they felt were most important.

In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be
closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories
require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an
understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance
became very apparent with the general...
Polyhedra are geometric representations of linear systems of equations and
inequalities. Since polyhedra are used to represent the iteration domains of nested
loop programs, procedures for operating on polyhedra can be used for doing loop
transformations and other program restructuring transformations which are needed
in parallelizing compilers. Thus a need...
In the early part of his philosophical career, Paul Ricoeur worked out a general theory of symbols which he illustrated with the symbols of evil. He subsequently explained this theory in several essays (his final major statement on symbols can be found in Interpretation Theory: Discourse and the Surplus of...
