  • The effect of mixing on the oxygen uptake rate of estuarine bottom deposits

    Creator:
    Martin, Duane Collins
    Abstract:
    A study of the effect of mixing on the oxygen uptake rate of estuarine bottom deposits is presented. The method of study involved the mixing of samples of bottom deposits with the overlying water to result in concentrations of suspended matter in the same order as observed in the estuary....

  • Spatial, diel and seasonal variations in dissolved oxygen and temperature within a stratified lake

    Creator:
    Smith, Stanley Allan
    Abstract:
    Spatial, diel and seasonal variations in dissolved oxygen and temperature were measured in Triangle Lake, Oregon. Spatial dissolved oxygen and temperature variations measured in the stratified lake are presented to illustrate the horizontal uniformity of the lake and to demonstrate the applicability of the one dimensional assumption for sampling and...

  • Analysis of dichotomous response models for low-dose carcinogenic risk estimation

    Creator:
    Tabesh, Taraneh
    Abstract:
    Several dichotomous-response models of carcinogenesis are discussed and their implications for low-dose risk estimation are examined. In addition, a pharmacokinetic model incorporating non-linear kinetics is studied and the results are investigated with respect to multiple-pollutant exposures. None of these models appears to suggest the existence of "thresholds". The analysis of...

  • Modeling estuary pollution by computer simulation

    Creator:
    Grenney, William J.
    Abstract:
    A digital computer model was developed to simulate the time and space distribution of a dissolved pollutant in an estuary. The program is basically a one-dimensional finite-difference model, but two dimensions can be represented by attaching together several one-dimensional channels. The influence of convection, dispersion and decay are included in...

  • In situ measurement of the benthal oxygen requirements of tidal flat deposits

    Creator:
    Crook, Gene Ray
    Abstract:
    In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that actual conditions of mixing could be simulated and benthal deposit disturbance would be minimized. A mathematical model of a benthal respirometer...

  • A study on the oxidation of sulfides in estuarine waters

    Creator:
    Korpalski, Thomas Paul
    Abstract:
    Waters of various salinities were secured from the Umpqua estuary, the Umpqua River, and the open ocean near the mouth of the estuary. The rate of oxidation of sulfides in these various waters was investigated to assess the potential longevity of free sulfides in estuarine waters. The rate of disappearance...
