Each year, after crabs molt, there is a time when their shells are soft, and are not filled up with crab meat. This soft-shelled state is undesirable for fishers. Since the timing of molting varies from year to year, it is difficult for fishery managers to set the start date...
This document outlines a proposal to plant red abalone in Whale Cove in Lincoln County, Oregon, in an attempt to establish a population in the northern half of the state. A proposed regulation includes a ban on all shellfish harvesting in Whale Cove.
"During the summer of 1961, a seafood dealer at Charleston, Oregon hired SCUBA ... divers to harvest clams in subtidal areas with hydraulic equipment. This operation proved to be quite efficient and was attended by considerable publicity. During the summer of 1962, several commercial and personal-use diggers equipped themselves with...
Nine experiments were conducted during 1964 and 1965 to study
the methods of reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed
(Potamogeton pectinatus) in irrigation systems.
Frequent treatments of sago pondweed foliage with aromatic
solvent greatly reduced the number of tubers in the substratum of
an irrigation canal. However, complete...
To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
Thermal decomposition of several di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazones
was studied. It was found that the carbene decomposition
of tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione, di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone
gave two products resulting from
rearrangement. One was identified as 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-hexatriene. A tentative structure for the second was
proposed. During the course of the study, a more convenient
procedure for thermal decompositions was...
This thesis investigates a way to fabricate P-N junctions by
percussive welding. The theoretical basis of percussive welding, design
considerations of the apparatus used, and the electrical characteristics
of the junctions were the main objectives of this investigation.
P-type silicon wafers and gold wire doped with arsenic as a
N-type...
The objectives of this study were: a) to obtain and evaluate
equipment for bio-acoustical analysis for this work and for future
work in the analysis of insect sounds, b) to study the acoustical and
sexual behavior of Acheta domesticus L., and c) to determine methods
for analyzing the changes effected...
An attempt was made to demonstrate isozymic forms of esterase,
MDH, LDH and GPDH and the variation in enzyme pattern with increasing
age in the thoracic muscle, appendage muscle and hemolymph
of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Sampled specimens
of both sexes were aged one through seven days, two weeks...
