  • Microearthquake studies of the Blanco fracture zone and Gorda Ridge using Sonobuoy arrays

    Creator:
    Jones, Paul Roy III
    Abstract:
    University deployed two arrays of three sonobuoys over the Blanco fracture zone and two arrays of four sonobuoys over the Gorda ridge to detect and locate microearthquakes. Microearthquake activity predicted by plate tectonic theory for the Blanco fracture zone and Gorda ridge was observed by these arrays to originate from...

  • Characterization of Arthrobacter species isolated from marine and seafood sources

    Creator:
    McKenzie, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    Forty Arthrobacter species isolated from Pacific and Atlantic fishery sources were examined to determine their significance in seafood. All strains were able to utilize inorganic nitrogen as the sole nitrogen source and grew in the absence of vitamins or growth factors. In addition, 78% grew on a medium containing only...

  • Marine seismic refraction study between Cape Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

    Creator:
    Bee, Michel
    Abstract:
    A marine seismic refraction study, conducted in August 1976 by personnel from Oregon State University and the University of Connecticut between Cape Simpson and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, provides data for analysis which yields a subsurface structural and geological cross-section of the area. The results suggest that the structural homocline which...

  • Wide-angle seismic refraction and reflection studies of the northern California and southern Oregon continental margins

    Creator:
    Keser, Judith
    Abstract:
    Recently obtained airgun-sonobuoy wide-angle refraction and reflection profiles provide data to study crustal velocities and structures along the continental margin of northern California and Southern Oregon. In the thick sedimentary wedge at the base of the continental slope, as many as five distinct layers can be seismically observed, which range...

  • Median valley crustal structure and sea floor spreading at the Gorda Ridge, 42⁰ N latitude

    Creator:
    Thrasher, Glenn P.
    Abstract:
    Three seismic refraction profiles obtained between 42°N and 43°N along the median valley of the Gorda Ridge, an active spreading center, allow the computation of the velocity structure underlying the valley. Wide angle reflections which appear on the seismic records suggest the existence of a velocity inversion underlying layer 3...

  • Perspectives : academic research management

    Creator:
    Bahram, Borhan
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this investigation is to explore research management problems pertaining to types of research where direct outputs are in terms of intangible ideas or the kind of knowledge which takes years to be proven applicable or economically fruitful. The study was based on the analysis of the more...

  • Nutritional and biochemical characterization of Moraxella species isolated from fishery sources

    Creator:
    Vernon, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and fourteen strains of Moraxella species isolated from marine fishery sources were investigated to determine the cause of this organism's predominance in seafood. The nutritional requirements, effect of pH, NaCl concentration, and temperature on growth, utilization of carbohydrates, protein, and lipid, resistance to 12 antibiotics, sensitivity to phenethyl...

  • Selected aspects of the pharmacodynamics of malathion in Cancer magister Dana

    Creator:
    Lebsack, Stephen Grant
    Abstract:
    The metabolism of malathion in vivo was studied by injection of adult male Dungeness crab, Cancer magister, with 0.75 [mu]g/g wet weight [³H] malathion. At selected times within 24 hours of injection, subsamples of three crabs were taken for analysis of malathion and metabolites. Malathion was extensively activated by oxidative...

  • The effect of feeding tallow, urea and protected tallow on in vivo nutrient digestion in sheep

    Creator:
    Aseltine, Mark Stephen
    Abstract:
    Five sheep digestion trials with four animals per treatment and three treatments per trial were conducted to determine if feeding protected tallow and/or protein would alter the deleterious effects of feeding urea and tallow together. Apparent digestibility coefficients, nitrogen retention and biological values were calculated. An additional trial was also...

    Ben Ali, Mohamed Noureddine
    Abstract:
    A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at two locations near Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the silage yield and quality of 13 fallsown cereal varieties at two nitrogen fertilizer levels in the context of a corn-winter cemal double cropping production system. Data on the yield, crude protein (CP)...
