Given a sample from a population whose distribution belongs to a
parametric family we would like to make predictions on the outcome of
a statistic (generally the sample sum) of a future sample from the same
population. These predictions can be in the form of intervals with some
associated level...
The purpose of this study is to determine if the
ntoraines damming proglacial Carver Lake are ice-cored.
The methodology to be employed consists of interpretation
of aerial photographs and field observations. The results
of these studies will be compared. to past research of
known ice-cored moraines in other regions of...
A marine seismic refraction study, conducted in August 1976 by personnel
from Oregon State University and the University of Connecticut between Cape
Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, provides data for analysis which yields a
subsurface structural and geological cross-section of the area.
The results suggest that the structural homocline which...
This study was undertaken to determine the sorts of polygalacturonases
present in the culture filtrate of Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp. lycopersici, to purify and characterize these enzymes, and to
study any complexes that may form between polygalacturonase and
carbohydrate not degraded by the enzyme.
The polygalacturonase in culture filtrate consists...
A population of Spermophilus beecheyi was studied to determine
patterns of individual spacing, behavioral interactions among different
sex and age classes, and the relationship between aspects of S. beecheyi
social structure and sociality to those of other sciurids. Research was
conducted on a population of squirrels living in an abandoned...
The way in which subjects of different ages copy a complex design
gives an indication of the relative levels of visual perception and
the related developmental trend of overall cognitive development and
left-right hemispheric functioning. The purpose of this study was to
investigate the impact of severe to profound hearing...
The research of genealogy and family history can represent a means of self-discovery, connection, and preservation of the past. The experience is individualistic, unique to the intricate intertwining of lives that helped create and influence who we are today. Through the analysis of historical biographies, family documents, and autobiographical vignettes,...
The epidemiology of nematode infections in ewes and lambs on
irrigated pastures was investigated during one reproductive cycle
in a commercial operation in Central Oregon. Primary objectives
were to determine the sources of parasitism, the effect on lamb
weight gains, and the effectiveness of control procedures in minimizing
the detrimental...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
