Respiratory rates were measured, in situ, for the litter, the
soil, and the litter-soil subsystems of a Pseudotsuga menziesii forest
as a function of type of understory vegetation. The major objectives
were to demonstrate the utility of the litter layer as a distinct subsystem
of this forest ecosystem, to demonstrate...
The objective of this paper is to conduct a geographical inventory
of a sand and gravel site, Lower Kiger Island, so as to identify and
evaluate other potential land uses subsequent to the extraction of its aggregate
resources. This information is intended to aid citizens, land use
planners, and sand...
The purpose of this study was to present the new women's
studies program for the community college. The study advocated
consciousness raising for females at all levels of public instruction,
but this paper was limited to the community college. The program
outlined would seek to help women to assume a...
In April of 1974, Oregon State University conducted a geophysical
survey of the Orozco fracture zone, a Left-lateral transform fault
which offsets the East Pacific Rise off the coast of Mexico near
15°N, 105°W. Magnetic, gravity, bathymetric, and seismic reflection
data were collected during a four day period. This survey...
An additional layer, exterior to the outer membrane cellwall
layer, was found on Aeromonas salmonicida cells from aggregating
strains. Nonaggregating strains were found to lack this layer.
The nonaggregating strains were all avirulent (LD₅₀
greater than
1 X 10
⁸ CFU/fish) while the majority of the aggregating strains
were virulent...
After parenteral immunization with Aeromonas salmonicida
cells, the agglutination activity in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus
kisutch) serum was associated with the macroglobulin serum fraction.
Antibody activity was diminished by 30 minutes exposure to 50 C
but not 45 C. Reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol and alkylation
markedly lowered but did not completely...
