This report is a preliminary presentation of temperature microstructure
data resulting from the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE) at Ocean
Station P (55°N, 145°W) during August-September 1977. During the MILE
experiment, the Caldwell research group conducted 381 casts over a period
of 21 days from the R/V OCEANOGRAPHER, using a Microstructure...
Five species of aquatic organisms were exposed to TCDD. Lethal effects of initial exposure to coho salmon of 23.4 nanogram TCDD/gram fish wet weight (23.4 ng/g), or equivalent to 100 nanogram
per liter (100 ng/l) TCDD in water, for 24 hours were irreversible; 95% mortality occurred in 60 days. Exposure...
Bilinear systems due to their variable structure properties
offer more versatility in modelling of nonlinear processes than
linear systems.
The state estimation problem for a continuous bilinear system
with a continuous observation model is studied and the results are
extended to the case where the observations are of a discrete...
The study on a p-n junction gallium arsenide avalanche photodiode
is reported. The procedures of the fabrication of the diodes
and the measurement of the device performance in terms of photomultiplication
factors are described. The photodiode is mesa type
with an active diameter of 60 microns, and the junction depth...
This thesis describes a Mossbauer effect and electron
paramagnetic resonance study of iron (III) tetraphenylporphyrinatobenzenethiolate
benzene thiol, an analog compound
for bacterial cytochrome P-450. The compound is unusual in
that it provides a model for the two ferric reaction states
of cytochrome P-450. The iron in the model compound exhibits...
In previous research in Europe, asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)
was found to be a potentially useful herbicide for controlling
broadleaf dock Rumex obtusifolius L. ) in permanent pastures.
Asulam was also reported to have a low margin of safety when used
on common pasture species. Field studies were conducted in western...
Hydrographic, tidal, and meteorological data collected near
Newport, Oregon, were analyzed to determine the relative contributions
of temperature, salinity, and air pressure variations to the
recorded departures of sea level from mean sea level.
Nearshore the steric and recorded sea levels exhibited a
similar seasonal oscillation, with high sea levels...
The biomass and the composition of 15 stands of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) on river bottom sites in western Oregon was measured during August and early September, 1969. These stands ranged in age from two to 64 years. Biomass was found to vary from 134 k/ha (kilograms per hectare)...
