Demersal fishes were sampled at seven stations located inshore of Heceta Bank, on Oregon's continental shelf, over a 2-yr period with a 3-m beam trawl designed to catch small fiatfishes. Two general assemblages of fishes were recognized: a shallow water 74-102 m), sandy-bottom association where Pacific sanddab, Citharichthys sordidus,was numerically...
The ethyl acetate extract of the culture filtrate of the marine Ascomycete,
Leptosphaeria oraemaris (Linder) yielded a novel metabolite
designated by the common name leptosphaerin. An x-ray crystallographic
structure analysis was disproved by the synthesis of 3-acetoxy-S-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-
3-pyrrolin-2-one 1, starting with N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine
47 and D-mannitol 44. Oxidation of 47 followed...
The need for classifying vegetation in a more precise way is
evident. Also, there is a need to provide a hierarchical classification
scheme that will match changes in image characteristics as one
moves through the scales from space to conventional aerial photography.
Such refined classifications of vegetation are the first...
This report is concerned with the analysis of the effect of
finite wordlength, channel capacity and source rate in digital feedback
control of linear systems. The cases considered are (1) finite
wordlength A/D conversion, no feedback delay, ideal ROM (read
only memory) controller; (2) finite A/D wordlength (source rate),
state...
This report presents the findings of a sediment analysis
program formulated to determine the flushing potential
of various shaped small boat marina basins. Chemical tests
regarding volatile solids, Kjeldahl nitrogen, grease and
oil, and sulfides were performed with the results compared
to established sediment quality criteria. These results
were used...
Relatively simple methods are developed for obtaining discreet
orientation characterization of preferred orientation from x-ray
diffraction-determined pole figure data. It is demonstrated how this
information, along with the single crystal elastic constants, can be
used to calculate Young's modulus as a function of sheet direction.
Computer programs are developed for...
Sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites
along the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon from Yaquina Bay to Elk City near
the head of the estuary. Samples were collected in November 1973,
February 1974, May 1974 and August 1974 from two or three intertidal
levels depending on the magnitude of the...
Epiphytic diatom assemblages in the intertidal zone of Yaquina
Bay and estuary were obtained from the following host macrophytes:
Zostera marina, Fucus evanescens, and species of Enteromorpha,
Polysiphonia, and Ulva. Samples were collected in September 1970
and in January and May 1971 from seven stations approximately evenly
spaced between the...
Effects of light intensity, exposure to desiccation, reduced
salinity, and thermal elevation on the functional and structural characteristics
of marine benthic diatom communities were investigated
in a laboratory model ecosystem and a respirometer chamber.
Measurements of biomass (dry weight and ash-free dry weight)
and chlorophyll a were made for each...
A personal view of the 50 years of broadcasting - radio and ETV - that we call KOAC, Corvallis. Service to people of Oregon from 1922 through 1972 with program philosophies, historical evolution of facilities - and the people who kept is all happening ......
