An investigation of the effects of exogenous gonadotropic
treatments on fertility of various genetic groups of ewe lambs were
run over a six-year period. Since hormonal treatments varied and
the experimental animals were different from one breeding season to
the next, each year comprised a separate study. Hormone treatment
included...
An investigation was made of the factors which cause differences in growth rates and transformation size of bullfrog tadpoles under natural conditions. Tadpoles and algal samples were collected from two.adjacent farm ponds of similar size during the eighteen months of the study. It was found that the tadpoles in one...
Six species of Ephemeroptera were studied in two sample areas
in Western Oregon: the Metolius River, Jefferson Co., and Oak
Creek, Benton Co. The Metolius River is characterized by low
fluctuations in flow and water temperatures (8-13 C); whereas, Oak
Creek is characterized by large fluctuations in volume of flow...
Franz Boas collected anthropometric data on approximately 15,000 people from over 200 Native American tribal groups between 1888 and 1902. Twelve basic measurements were taken: standing height, shoulder height, height to digit III, arm span, sitting height, shoulder width, head length and width, face height and breadth, and nose height...
This paper records a series of experiments conducted furing a one-year period to determine the effects of boron upon the growth and fruiting of Marshall and Corvallis strawberries, two of the leading commercial varieties in Oregon. The problem was approached in four ways: (1) applications of dry borax and borax...
A gene-ecological transplant study was made on populations of
the Crepis nana and C. elegans complex from the Arctic and Alpine of
North America. Transplants were collected from the Brooks Range,
Eagle Summit, and Alaska Range in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in
Alberta, the Olympic Mountains in Washington, the Wallowa...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of inorganic
and organic components of molasses on the laxative problem
encountered when molasses makes up a large portion of livestock
rations. In a series of four trials 280 male Long Evans rats weighing
approximately 50 grams each were placed...
Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising
facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to
determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is
inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...
