Occasions arise in engineering for conducting probabilistic analyses concerned
with the "state" character of systems which range in scale from the circuit level (and even
below) through the black box level and on up through the system level.
These stochastic systems are systems with random as well as deterministic features....
The objectives of this study are to revise and reformulate a
previous simulation model of the Calapooia River and proposed
Holley Dam project and to critically investigate the anadromous
fish enhancement function of the project.
The Corps of Engineers proposes a 145,000 acre-foot reservoir
for the Calapooia River at Holley,...
The relation of bud and cambial activity to root initiation and
elongation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)
stem cuttings was studied through two successive growth cycles.
Stem cuttings of current season's growth were taken periodically
from field-grown Douglas-fir trees to determine: (1) origin and
development of root initials; and...
Controlled flow reductions of 75% apportioned over
four two-week intervals were studied during the summers of
1975 and 1976 on the North Fork of Elk Creek, an Oregon
coastal stream. The effects of reduced flows on invertebrate
drift, insect benthos, and the available food for
juvenile salmonids were measured.
Invertebrate...
The social and economic objectives of society in the United
States are many and varied. All objectives, in turn, cannot be
achieved simultaneously because of a finite resource base. The problem
of finding an optimum, in some sense, level of achievement for
the various objectives is complicated by lack of...
The purpose of the study was to provide quantitative information on the utilization and processing of leaves and needles by several species of caddisfly larvae.
Field and laboratory studies were conducted on three species of Lepidostoma Rambur (Lepidostomatidae), from Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain streams, and on Clistoronia magnifica (Banks)...
Management of deer populations is directed toward multiple
objectives. Deer populations on public and private lands belong to the
public and thus management is a political process. Four components
for an effective management system for deer populations are identified.
These are the set of objectives relating to the resource, the...
