The purpose of this study was to examine the relativeeffectiveness of functional isometric squats on thedevelopment of dynamic strength, static strength and powerof college males. Ten college males volunteered for thestudy. The subjects trained two days per week for a totalof eight weeks which consisted of a two week preconditioningperiod...
The role and function of school counselors remains a consistent source of concern in the school counseling profession. Aligning school counseling activities with comprehensive school counseling practice is a way to standardize the profession. Creating a school board policy for counseling is a strategy to gain support for and institutionalize...
Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Increased demand for grape varieties grafted to phylloxera resistant rootstocks has led to increased incidence of crown gall at graft unions. Therefore a search for plant material that is resistant to crown gall has been undertaken....
Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Pathogenic agrobacteria residing within the vascular system are able to initiate tumor growth in damaged plant cells. Sampling from 21 sites in Oregon vineyards and nurseries yielded diverse populations of pathogenic agrobacteria. Most of the pathogenic...
Potential for large prairie remnants to provide habitat for grassland-obligate wildlife may be compromised by
nonsustainable range-management practices. In 1979–1980, high nesting densities of 3 species of hawks in the genus
Buteo—Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis), Red-tailed Hawk (B. jamaicensis), and Swainson’s Hawk (B. swainsoni)—were
documented on the Zumwalt Prairie and...
The aerobic biotransformation pathways of 4:2, 6:2, and 8:2 fluorotelomer thioether amido sulfonate (FtTAoS) were characterized by determining the fate of the compounds in soil and medium microcosms amended with an aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) solution. The biotransformation of FtTAoS occurred in live microcosms over approximately 40 days and produced...

Grassland and shrubland birds are declining globally due in part to anthropogenic habitat modification. Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. We used design-based sampling and occupancy models to test relationships of environmental...
