In contrast to the Willamette Valley, Douglas County is powerfully conservative and Republican, being akin to Josephine County to the south, or to Eastern Oregon. No Democratic presidential nominee has carried Douglas County since Lyndon Johnsonâs landslide win in 1964: indeed the last Democrat to crack forty percent of the countyâs vote was Michael Dukakis in 1988 during an election influenced by a major drought.
Fading (conditioning) Fading is a technique applied in behavior therapy, particularly behavior modification, as well as skill training settings, where an initial prompting to perform an action is gradually withdrawn until the need for it fades away. The overall goal is for an individual to eventually not need prompts.
The cause of fading is due to a photochemical reaction involving UV and visible light. Research has shown (above) that 40% of fading is caused by UV rays. Another 25% of fading is due to heat, with 25% being caused by normal visible light. The remaining 10% cause of fading is from indoor artificial lighting, humidity, and poor dye anchorage. Visible light and UV radiation cause fading and a lack of moisture, especially in the cloth materials used to cover books.
