A microscopic study was conducted on specific gravity wafers taken from standard tensile strength specimens of young growth Douglas-fir. Samples were studied to determine the effect of variables such as percent summerwood, fiber length and fibril angle on tensile strength of Douglas-fir. The sample specimens were picked so effects of...
The purpose of the Hatfield Marine Science Center Master Plan is to provide a plan to guide future development to support the marine science research, education and outreach initiatives through fiscal year 2022.
The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic method to
analyze relationships between inputs, technology, and market structure
of an industry, and marketing activities among countries in general
and to develop an economic analysis of trade flow of the hardwood
plywood industry in the Far East exporting countries:...
This study represents an internship, as a requirement of the Professional Science Masters program at Oregon State University, performed with Western Ag Innovations Inc. The study consisted of two aspects -- one business and one science oriented. The two objectives of this internship were to: 1) qualitatively evaluate how two...
Tetracycline (Tet)-resistant strains of Chlamydia suis were isolated from swine
farms in the Midwest. The isolation of the resistant strains was significant
because Tet is an antibiotic used to treat infections by veterinarians and
doctors. One of the tetracycline (Tet)-resistant strains, R19, was able to
survive in Tet up to...
Chinook salmon returns to the Columbia River basin have declined due to impacts of a growing human population, despite significant mitigation expenditures. Consequently, fisheries managers have become focused on recovery and long-term viability of at-risk populations. A viable population depends, in part, on the connectivity and quality of diverse habitat...
