Eight scale characters of known hatchery and wild coho salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch) were compared, and a linear discriminant
function was used to determine if hatchery and wild adult coho
salmon could be correctly identified by their scales. Eighty-two
percent of the hatchery and 89% of the wild fish were correctly...
Families of remarriage constitute a growing number of
American families. The spiraling divorce rate of the 1970s
was accompanied by a concomitant increase in the number of
remarriages. Forty percent of American families today
contain at least one spouse that has been previously
married, thus studying relationships within families of...
Since the industrial revolution, work and family
have been viewed as separate spheres, with women
relegated to the family sphere. With the advent of women
into the paid labor force, few studies have considered
the potentially complex context of women's work and
family experiences. The purpose of this study was...
Population and habitat characteristics of Acorn Woodpeckers
(Melanerpes formicivorus) were examined in oak stands (Quercus
garryana) in Benton County, Oregon. Characteristics of eight oak
stands not containing Acorn Woodpeckers were also examined. The
data were used to determine which factors might be related to woodpecker
presence and abundance within the...
Several laboratories have shown that the VV
replication cycle is dependent on the host cell nucleus.
The basic biological observation is that if the host cell
nucleus is physically removed by cytochalasin B-mediated
enucleation, functionally inactivated by UV-irradiation, or
selectively blocked with a-amanitin, the results are the
same: W is...
The central purposes of this study were to review the
historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential
learning theory, and to determine the effect and
application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory
as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990.
It was found that Kolb based his...
I measured responses of free-ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, Oregon from April to October, 2003 and 2004. Resting, feeding, and travel activities of 13 cow elk were recorded at 5-minute intervals using Actiwatch™ motion sensors. Elk were subjected to four...
Hydrogen cyanamide (CY) induced earlier budbreak, more
uniform and a higher percentage of budbreak in resting
poplar (Populus alba x P. gradidentata, NC 5339) plants.
However, it was phytotoxic to poplar when applied at 0.5 M
or higher concentrations. Percent budbreak increased and
percent dieback decreased when poplar plants were...
Counterfeits, unauthorized copies of a product presented for sale as if they were the legitimate manufacturer's product, are creating a sizeable and growing problem for the apparel and accessory industries (Olsen & Granzin, 1993). The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between consumers' likelihood of knowingly purchasing...
This study proposed a theoretical model of choice overload and empirically examined the model in the context of online apparel shopping. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the number of choices and product presentation formats influenced consumers’ online apparel shopping experience as well as how the formed...
