The problem of this study was to determine whether graduate students
in education (the experimentals) participating in a counseling
practicum would demonstrate a change in self-actualization which would
be significantly different when compared with other graduate students
in education (the comparisons) who were not participating in the above
program. The...
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which personal
values congruence and self-actualization related to the question
of counselor effectiveness. The subjects consisted of the 20 Oregon
State University graduate students enrolled in the counseling practicum
class fall term, 1972, at Oregon State University. Most of...
The effects of a sublethal concentration of dieldrin (0. 2 ppb)
in the water on the growth and body composition of underyearling rainbow
and cutthroat trout held in aquaria and fed different rations of tubificid
worms or Oregon moist pellets were studied at Oak Creek Fisheries
Research Laboratory, Oregon State...
The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test
the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)
damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of
corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features
include: tree...
The author presents a "state of the art" of the use of polymers
for better settling in domestic waste treatment and evaluates the
published research in the field.
Polymers have only recently been used to obtain better settling
in domestic waste treatment. Due to the number of polymer types
available...
Native populations of forest trees are specifically adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates (i.e., as the climatic transfer distance increases), the more growth and survival tend to decrease. The transfer limit is the climatic transfer distance beyond which plantation performance is...
Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...
