Plecoptera were collected from four sampling stations selected
to represent a range of conditions on Oak Creek, a small woodland
stream originating in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. The
elevation of Site I was 700 ft. while the lowest site was located at 225
ft. Monthly benthos samples...
Nomia melanderi Cockerell is one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in Eastern Oregon. Emergence begins in June, usually reaches its peak in early July, and may continue into early August. Male emergence precedes female emergence by four or five days. For the first few weeks of this time,...
Larval mortality of leafcutting bee, Megachile pacifica (Panzer)
(= rotundata (F.)), is high, usually exceeding 50%. Parasites and
predators are not a limiting factor in the survival of the progeny.
The disease chalk brood has been an important mortality factor since
1974. Inadequate food supply, pollen and nectar, may affect...
The purposes of this investigation were to: (1) assist the elementary schools of
Oregon in the development and implementation
of elementary school guidance programs, and (2) develop recommendations
for improving programs of guidance as well as counselor
preparation programs.
The investigation focused upon the personal and educational
background of current...
This study was undertaken to determine the role Leuconostoc
citrovorum may play in carbon dioxide production in milk. The
ability of L. citrovorum strains to produce gas was studied by two
methods. A qualitative method used visual measurement of gas where
an agar plug was forced up the neck of...
Air temperatures and soil temperatures at the surface, two inches,
and four inches under a grass cover were recorded over a 93 day period.
These data were used along with other temperature data from bare soil
in the construction of three sets of models for the prediction of
maximum and...
This thesis presents the development of dynamic control strategies for the
brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM). A simple open-loop scalar controller is first
investigated and its response is found to be oscillatory. Using the speed feedback
signal, an improved closed loop scalar control algorithm is designed. Steady state
performance is controlled...
The Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project (Oregon) was built between 1957 and 1964. As a result the anadromous steelhead trout was extirpated from the upper Deschutes Basin by 1968. The Deschutes Basin is a model for instream flow restoration projects in the Pacific Northwest that are largely driven by the...
