Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Current and future economic impact of Mount Hood National Forest outdoor recreation consumption

Creator:: Anderson, David M. (David Matthew), 1964-
Abstract:: Mount Hood National Forest provides opportunities for many forms of outdoor recreation. Recreationists spend money to pursue outdoor activities on public lands such as national forests and national parks. The purpose of this study was to measure the economic contribution of national forest visitor expenditures on the local economy of...

Calibration of a theoretically derived relationship between pan evaporation and evapotranspiration

Creator:: Salgado, Eduardo A.
Abstract:: Theoretical derivations to describe pan evaporation, E[subscript p], and evapotranspiration, ET[subscript r], were developed based on a flow equation expressed as the product of the driving force for vapor between the evaporative surface and a plane of reference times a conductivity coefficient of vapor through air. Under the assumptions of...

The effects of a mutation within vitamin E biosynthesis upon the development and function of the photosynthetic apparatus

Creator:: Sicher, Richard Charles
Abstract:: A new photosystem-II mutant of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus D₃, strain PS-28, has been shown to lack a-tocopherol (vitamin E). The photosynthetic activity of dark grown samples of PS-28 is about 20% of the wild-type control. Culturing the mutant at low light intentisites (10⁴ ergs/sec-cm ²) stimulates photosynthetic activity...

Reproductive characteristics of pregnant mares passively immunized against equine chorionic gonadotropin

Creator:: Shore, Maria Dawn
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of passive immunization of pregnant mares with a monoclonal antibody [MAb, 518B7, antibovine βLH which crossreacts with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG)] on subsequent reproductive characteristics and changes in plasma concentrations of hormones. In Exp.1 control mares (C, n=3) were not treated. Another...

Examining bias in estimating the response variable and assessing the effect of using alternative plot designs to measure predictor variables in diameter growth modeling

Creator:: Zumrawi, Abdel Azim M. A.
Abstract:: Diameter growth of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuqa menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) estimated from increment cores was compared with that obtained from repeated measurements of tree diameter on permanent plots located in two Douglas-fir study areas in the central Coast Range of Oregon. Growth was measured for a 6-year period (1979- 1985). Diameter growth...

Population dynamics, annual food consumption, movements, and dive behaviors of harbor seals, Phoca vitulina richardis, in Oregon

Creator:: Harvey, James T. (James Thomas)
Abstract:: Number of harbor seals, counted on 32 haul-out areas in Oregon, increased by 6 - 8.8 % per year from 1975 - 1983. Percent of seals in bays has increased an average 1.8%/year, from 47% in 1975 to 61% in 1983. Along the central Oregon coast, harbor seals were most...

Kernel hardness, protein, and viscosity as predictors of udon-noodle quality

Creator:: Ruddenklau, Helle G.
Abstract:: The Asian noodle market is responsible for the increased volume of wheat imported to that region in recent years. Soft white wheat produced in the Pacific Northwest is mainly used for baked products, whereas an Australian wheat, Australian Standard White, is preferred for noodles. To enter this market soft white-wheat...

Superposed compressional and extensional strain in Lower Paleozic rocks of the northwestern Grant Range, Nevada

Creator:: Camilleri, Phyllis A.
Abstract:: The Grant Range, in east-central Nevada, is a north-east trending range bounded on the west by a west-dipping normal fault system. Rocks within the range record a complex polyphase Mesozoic ductile compressional and Cenozoic brittle extensional deformational history. The northwestern Grant Range exposes deformed, regionally metamorphosed and unmetamorphosed, Cambrian to...
