Great Basin Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) productivity and nesting habitat utilization were studied on the Columbia River within the boundaries of the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge during the springs of 1974 and 1975.
Five islands, BL-1, BL-2, SD-1, SD-2, and Telegraph Island (TI), contained 88 percent of the nesting...
Problem areas identified are: The needs a) to develop curve
fitting procedures to estimate flood flow distributions; b) to
incorporate precipitation data into frequency analysis procedures;
and c) to better define flood potentials for ungauged streams.
Closely related to the above, it is noted that variables commonly
used to estimate...
Four assumptions--
1. That there is an effective and potential demand for processed
fruit products in the Western State of Nigeria.
2. That current supply of raw materials in the Western State
of Nigeria is more than sufficient to meet the increased demand
which the short-term addition or expansion (or...
The object of this research, project was to study how
different parameters effect the magnitude and frequency
composition of forces exerted on simulated heat exchange
tubes immersed in a cold fluidized bed. Two arrays of
tubes were assembled with the tubes mounted in an
equilateral triangular pitch pattern. The center...
The objective of the study is to analyze empirically the demand
for hired farm labor and the elasticities of substitution of capital for
labor in the U.S., the Middle Atlantic region, the Pacific region, and
in the states of California and Oregon.
The data period 1941-1969 was analyzed for the...
The objective of this study is to analyze empirically the demand
structure for the following important farm production inputs in
Oregon: hired labor, chemical fertilizer, farm machinery, repairs
and operating costs of motor vehicles and other machinery designated
as "machinery supplies," purchased feed and miscellaneous inputs.
Twenty-year data (1950-69 except...
The opening of the South Atlantic between 140 and 90 m. y. B. P.
occurred about two poles of rotation. The initial pole of rotation was
maintained until Africa and South America were completely separated.
The subsequent removal of restraints imposed by the pre-existing
structure of Africa and South America...
