Local (Country) variations in key social and economic indicators are important in Oregon and Washington. Covered employment, wage and salary, unemployment, and population data for 1987 through 1997 showed regional trends in these indicators, which are compared with national trends. Future updates will be published in the 'Production, Prices, Employment,...
The Northwest economic adjustment initiative (NWEAI) provides economic assistance to a region including western Washington, western Oregon, and northern California. Timber harvests have fallen markedly in this region since 1990. The forest products industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the region, and employment has followed the downward trend in...
Feline injection site sarcomas (FISS) are frequently encountered cutaneous and subcutaneous neoplasms of cats. Significant patient morbidity is related to the invasiveness these tumors display, typically requiring extensive local excision or amputation. As with many veterinary tumors, survival time and tumor recurrence for FISS is highly influenced by histologic margin...
Verticillium dahliae Kleb. incites a vascular wilt disease of
mints. Susceptible Mentha piperita L. , resistant M. crispa L.,
and intermediate hybrid 148 were used to study 1) the site of differential
resistance and 2) the role of polygalacturonase (PG) in the
disease syndrome.
Many more V. dahliae propagules were...
The spectrophotometric titration of the tyrosine residues,
their reaction with N-acetylimidazole, and the effect of pH on the
thermally induced conformational transition of ribonuclease T₁ have
been investigated. The results of spectrophotometric titration in
0.20 M KCl/0.001 M sodium phosphate suggest that titration of the
tyrosine residues occurs in two...
The purpose of the study was to verify growth in the interpersonal
problem solving abilities of high school students. A fourpart
subtest of the Means End Problem Solving Test (MEPS) was administered
to 642 students grades nine through twelve at Columbia High
