Two successive years of wind speed and direction data, from
January 1973 through December 1974, have been measured and
recorded at Yaquina Head, 6 km north of Newport, Oregon. Analysis
of the data permitted 65 cases of strong wind to be isolated and
separated into four distinct wind speed categories....
The proliferation of nonfarm residential dwellings into agricultural areas is a prominent factor in the loss of agricultural land. In Oregon, permits for nonfarm dwellings in an agricultural zone must meet certain state criteria. The criteria contain vague phrases which are open to interpretation. Decision makers apply soil criteria as...
Knot Theory: In Imitation of Lewis Thomas is a collection of 14, 1200-word essays written in the style of Lewis Thomas, a physician who regularly contributed to The New England Journal of Medicine. His 1200-word column, "Notes of a Biology Watcher," ran from 1971 - 1980. The resulting compilations collectively...
Prior to 1986, economic conditions resulted in substantial
unemployment, layoffs, and reduced work time.
Such conditions produced underemployment resulting in significant
income reductions for families. A random sample
of a non-metropolitan Northwest community elicited 137
couples from a variety of incomes. Twenty-one of them
were found to have incomes reduced...
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.
Glycosides are natural molecules found in many plants and hold potential to release new flavors and aromas into alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine. One way to free these flavors and aromas is by enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by βglucosidase. The activities of β-glucosidase are strain and species dependent in yeast...
This project was a proof of concept of the use of the RAVEN software, a tool developed for the Risk Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) approach, with RELAP5-3D. This novel approach combines older probabilistic and mechanistic approaches to look at how and why the complex systems of a nuclear power...
The goal of this project was to pave the way for more data-driven decision making when considering safety within Nuclear Engineering by proving the concept of new and innovative accident scenario modeling techniques for the analysis of the economics of nuclear safety margins. To do this, a simple, if extremely...
This study examined the relationships among authoritarian
parental attitudes, home environments, parental attitudes
toward the children's freedom, and the cognitive performances
of kindergarten children. Socioeconomic status of the family
and sex of child and parent differences were also examined.
Subjects consisted of 73 pairs of Korean parents and their
children....
Headwater streams comprise nearly 90% of the total length of perennial channels in global catchments. They mineralize organic carbon entering from terrestrial systems, evade terrestrial carbon dioxide (CO₂ ), and generate and remove carbon through in-stream primary production and respiration. Despite their importance, headwater streams are often neglected in global...
