The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated
stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic
analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional
model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary,
ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...
An infiltration capacity and surface erodibility study was conducted six years after forest harvesting in the Oregon Cascades. A portable rainfall simulator was utilized to obtain field measurements on the Coyote Creek and Hi-15 Watersheds during summer and fall, 1977. Seasonal variations were found to occur in infiltration
capacities and...
A previously undescribed system of differential food
storage in replete forms of the honey ant, Myrmecocystus
mexicanus Wesmael, is reported. Certain repletes store lipid as glycerol and cholesterol esters associated with
sugar solutions containing glucose, fructose, and maltose.
Dover and rex sole larvae attain an exceptionally large size and have a long pelagic life. Dover sole larvae (9-65 mm standard length) were collected in mid-water trawls and plankton nets during all months of the year. Judging from growth of larvae and occurrence in bottom trawls of recently metamorphosed...
