Land value appreciation and its relation to three
interchanges on Interstate 5 were studied. Lots within a
two mile (3.2 km.) radius and in existence in 1965 and 1975

of form, setting, type of crossroad, and distance from urban
areas. Lots...
An analysis is presented of the low-frequency fluctuations [ω<0.6 cycle per day (cpd)] of the currents near the Oregon coast, based on the 1972 and 1973 measurements from moored current meters in CUE-1 and CUE-2. Let u and v denote the eastward (approximately onshore) and northward (approximately alongshore) components of...
