The purpose of this investigation was to determine the
sprint start time to the first 10 and to the second 10
meters as a result of alteration of starting block angles
and lateral block spacings.

This paper examines the environmental factors influencing
the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria
present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors
are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems
and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality.
A model is developed that considers...
A theoretical framework for economic fishery management was
developed. Extensive isocline analysis of a general fishery model
yielded a detailed look at the possible equilibrium behavior of a
system that was allowed to vary in terms of the levels of its
environmental parameters, its composition, and the response functions
governing...
A glaze storm of exceptional severity was seen in the Corvallis
area, January, 1942. The weight of ice that accumulated in the
crowns of young-growth Douglas-fir trees caused widespread top
breakage in many stands lying in the broad path of this storm.
Early research on this phenomenon showed the majority...
Generalizations of the smooth goodness-of-fit test statistics,
the components of Cramer-von Mises type statistics and the
Pearson chi-square statistics are considered for censored samples.
Asymptotic efficiency comparisons are made between these
general goodness-of-fit tests for Weibull and gamma distributions
for certain parametric alternatives in the case of singly censored
samples....
This report describes the isolation of a new virus from adult
chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) returning to the Tokushibetsu Hatchery,
Hokkaido, Japan. The agent was isolated in the CHSE-214 cell line
derived from chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). The virus
replicated in selected fish cell lines incubated between 10 and 20°C...
Current retail food distribution practices, microbial quality of
bakery products, and the potential for growth of food borne pathogens
(Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Bacillus cereus)
were examined using pumpkin pie as a model.
The pumpkin pies, as obtained from the retail outlets, showed contamination
with food pathogens. The aerobic...
