One of the classic problems in industrial engineering is the buffer allocation
problem. The objective of the buffer allocation problem is to maximize some line
output, typically throughput, through the allocation of buffers throughout the
production line. Previous work in this area has focused on either determining
general design rules...
Highly resolved pressure measurements on the seafloor over New Jersey’s continental shelf reveal the pressure signature of nonlinear internal waves of depression as negative pressure perturbations. The sign of the perturbation is determined by the dominance of the internal hydrostatic pressure (p⁰Wh) due to isopycnal displacement over the contributions of...
The Bear Creek area is situated at the boundry between the Basin and Range Province, Deschutes Basin and Blue Mountains Province. It contains rock units representing most of the Cenozoic geologic column. The major rock units exposed are the Clarno Formation, John Day Formation, Columbia River Basalt Group, Deschutes Formation...
The Oregon Mountain area contains an ophiolitic assemblage of rocks which can he divided into two major zones on the basis of lithology: (1) spilite and diabase, with minor chert, and (2) plagiogranite, hornblende gabbro, cumulate gabbro and cumulate ultramafic rocks. The two zones have a total estimated thickness of...
Soil acidity is a major factor inhibiting pasture production in western Oregon. The typical management solution to acidic soil problems is to lime. However, lime cannot be incorporated directly into the soil in established pasture. The only alternative is topdress or surface apply lime and wait for soil fauna to...
The Whittier fault forms the central part of a fault system extending
from the East Montebello fault at Whittier Narrows to the Elsinore fault,
which is traced as far as the Mexican border. The Whittier fault forms a
restraining bend in this fault system, resulting in uplift of the Puente...
Lipid biomarkers in sediments are widely used to infer environmental conditions that have
occurred in the geological past, but these reconstructions require a careful consideration of the
biotic and abiotic processes that degrade and alter the lipid biomarker compositions before
and after deposition. In this paper, we use alkenones produced...
Four distinct lithologic units compose the Tertiary rocks of the Neahkahnie Mountain - Angora Peak area, located along the northwest
Oregon coast near the town of Nehalem. The Tertiary units are the late Oligocene to early Miocene Oswald West mudstones, the middle Miocene Angora Peak sandstone member of the Astoria...
