This paper describes the results of a time study conducted on the
Sierra National Forest to determine production capacity of the Madill 044
Skyline Yarding Crane operating in a partial cut situation for old-growth
mixed conifer stands. The yarder was rigged in the running skyline configuration
and used a Danebo...
Elodea densa Planch. was exposed to diquat (6, 7 dihydrodipyrido [1,2-a: 2', 1'-c] pyrazinediium dibromide), alone and in combination
with disodium endothall (disodium salt of 7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]
heptane-2, 3-dicarboxyclic acid), and copper sulfate pentahydrate.
Studies were conducted in coastal lakes of Oregon infested with E.
densa. Dichlobenil (2, 6 dichlorobenzonitrile)...
The "cotton fur" (CF) condition in mink has been shown through
investigations at Oregon State University to have three basic causes,
viz.: 1) Feeding diets of fish comprising certain species of the cod
family, including: Pacific hake, Atlantic whiting and Alaskan pollock;
2) Inclusion of rancid fats in the diet;...
In introducing the method of electrical images we first consider
the elementary problem of finding the electric field of a single point
charge and an infinite conducting plane. Then a problem involving a
conducting sphere and an exterior point charge is investigated and
the results are applied in the solution...
Major (Fe, Mn, Al) and minor (Cr, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cd) element
analyses of metalliferous sediments in cores from the East Pacific
Rise and Bauer Deep indicate that the Bauer Deep sediments are
similar in chemistry and origin to metalliferous sediments of the
East Pacific Rises.
Fe, Pb, and Zn...
The need for increased efficiency in regeneration of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) requires greater understanding of seedling physiology. Experiments examined western hemlock seedling growth responses to in-bed root pruning, and pruning of shoots or roots prior to transplanting. Measurement of plant
moisture stress (PMS) after physical root disturbance,...
Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics and sedimentation of this feature than previously possible. Sediment distribution along the axis shows a remarkable...
Three general types of swimbladders were found in the eight species of myctophids studied: gas-filled, fat-invested, and atrophied or reduced. Small specimens of all species had thin-walled, gas-filled swimbladders. Large specimens of Stenobrachius leucopsarus had fat-invested swim-bladders and large Diaphus theta had either gas-filled or atrophied swimbladders, as found by...
