Oregon pink shrimp (PandaZus jordani) landings in 1978 were a record 56,997,105 pounds (25,840 mt) over 8 million pounds (17%) more than was landed in 1977, the previous record year (Figure 1, Table 1). Increased effort was probably the main contributing factor to the record landings. A total of 186...
The purpose of the past year's research was to begin measurement of the respiratory metabolism of zooplankton and phytoplankton in four lakes in the Lake Washington drainage. This was done, using an enzyme assay for the activity of the electron transport system. The lakes were sampled frequently and depth profiles...
The anchor-last mooring procedure is investigated in order to determine the transient forces in the mooring line and the velocities of the anchor. Transient forces were determined and the results showed that no severe snap loads occurred for the cases investigated. In addition, it was found that the vertical velocity...
In this study, three main issues are discussed: possible bias
arising when inflation effects are neglected in engineering economy
studies, capital projects authorization forms which are not designed
to include inflation effects in the calculations,'and the introduction
of a new graphical technique for capital expenditure sensitivity
analysis.
Approaches are described...
The numerical analysis of thermal convection in porous media,
heated from below, and assuming Darcy flow conditions, involves the
solving of a set of non-linear equations for the temperature and flow
fields. The condition of criticality determining the onset of convection
is obtained by linearization and the solving of an...
