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....

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...

Creator:: Grenney, William J.
Abstract:: Mathematical modeling of phytoplankton populations based on laboratory observations provides increased understanding of the interaction among the environmental and biological mechanisms. influencing growth dynamics. Such fundamental understanding is necessary to estimate the impact of man-made perturbations on natural population. A three-compartment mathematical model was developed to represent a phytoplankton population...

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...

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...

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...

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...
