This study of the immediate, localized effects of a small dredging
operation on the benthic invertebrate community in the shipping
channel of Coos Bay, Oregon, was designed: 1) to measure the extent
of the physical removal of benthic macro- and meiofauna by hopper
dredging; 2) to record the subsequent benthic...
Purpose of the Study
There were two major purposes of this study. The first was to
determine which socio-economic and educational factors normally
available to Neighborhood Youth Corps personnel were associated with
success and failure in the out-of-school program. The second purpose
was to utilize these available socio-economic and educational...
This investigation was a two stage study performed in two urban/
rural communities in Washington State. Stage I was an effort to replicate a study performed in an eastern Virginia school district whereby
results were obtained demonstrating that 9th graders and black students
identified teacher warmth behaviors as being important...
Archaeological investigations of the Applegate Lake project area were conducted by the Department of Anthropology, Oregon State University Univerfrom 1977-1980. A cultural sequence believed to span over 8000 years was revealed from a series of six sites. Several of these sites contained lanceolate or leaf-shaped projectile points. A large serrated...
Annual recruitment of the New Zealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) has decreased by around 75 percent since heavy levels of commercial fishing began in the early 1970s. Given the unsustainability of existing regulatory policy, a deterministic multiple-cohort bioeconomic model is developed and applied to this system to gain insight into...
A vegetation classification based on concepts and methods developed by Daubenmire was used to identify five habitat types and their related phases on the Medicine Bow National Forest: Abies lasiocarpa/Vaccinium scoparium, including the Pinus contorta/Vaccinium scoparium community; Abies lasiocarpa/Carex geyeri, including the Pinus contorta/Carex geyeri community; Populus tremuloides/Carex geyeri; Pinus...

We report new major element, trace element, isotope ratio, and geochronological data on the Galapagos
Archipelago. Magmas erupted from the large western volcanos are generally moderately fractionated tholeiites of
uniform composition; those erupted on other islands are compositionally diverse, ranging from tholeiites to picritic
basanitoids. While these volcanoes do not...
Improving the quality of education and encouraging students to stay in school is one possible strategy for reducing poverty and raising local well-being in rural areas. A potential obstacle to this strategy, however, is outmigration to metro areas due to the lack of demand for this better-educated rural workforce, and...
