The contribution of genetic effects to the variation in percent normal development observed in a bay mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) embryo bioassay was determined. A factorial breeding experiment
was accomplished in which 9 males were mated with 3 females. Each mating was repeated 10 times, yielding 270 mussel embryo cultures,...
This study was conducted to observe the manner in which three local
public interest organizations participated in a local, environmentallyoriented
decision process. The study period began in December, 1978,
with the passage of a revised solid waste ordinance (Ord. 78-102) for
the City of Corvallis, OR. The main forum for...
A study conducted along the Lincoln County, Oregon coast
delineated the exact location of 153 landslides. The landslides were
found through the interpretation of aerial photographs. Each landslide
was verified in the field and its class (ancient, historic, recent),
type (slump, debris slide or flow, planar slide), and status (stable,...

In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...
Biological interrelationships between the ambrosia beetle
Xyleborus dispar (F.) (Coleoptera:Scolytidae) with its symbiotic
fungus, Ambrosiella hartigii Batra (Fungi Imperfecti) were investigated
in western Oregon.
Postdiapause adults of X. dispar collected in March through
June with rotary nets, and excised from overwintered and newly
attacked host material, produced a single generation...
The study was designed to determine the attitudes of intern
teachers toward specified concepts as they began their internship in
the Portland Urban Teacher Education Program and upon completion
of their intern training, prior to receiving certification through
Oregon State University. The direction and intensity of attitude change
across the...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences between winter wheat varieties in response to nitrogen fertilizer. Seven nitrogen fertilizer rate x variety factorial experiments were conducted in several environments. Dry matter and nitrogen yields at boot, soft dough, and harvest and grain yield components were measured. The yield...
