Laboratory studies were conducted on the food consumption, growth, and bioenergetics of juvenile coho salmon (Oncoynchus kisutch) held at various swimming velocities and dissolved oxygen
concentrations at 15 C. Food consumption and growth of salmon fed to repletion on housefly larvae (Mus domesticus) were reduced by increasing activity at and...
One group of four adult White Leghorn male chickens was fed a
diet containing 7.3% linoleic acid and 32.4 mg/ kg of added vitamin E
(group IV) for 50 weeks which was designated as the positive control.
A second lot (group I) containing 14 males received the same level of...
Most of the nutritionally related difficulties of winter feeding
deer apparently result from either poor acceptability of artificial
rations or digestive disturbances that result from feeding starved
animals feeds to which they are not accustomed. Reported in this
thesis are studies conducted with both captive and wild deer concerning
acceptability...
There is evidence that recent ecological changes in lakes and their watersheds can be detected from analysis of lake sediments. This study was initiated to correlate
changes in some sediment characteristics of four Oregon lakes with past cultural developments of the lakes and their watersheds. The lakes chosen for this...
Ecological and historical information are combined in examining the environmental influence of fire and grazing on rangelands in eastern Oregon through time. Competitive relationships between herbaceous and woody flora in the northern Great Basin are discussed, focusing broadly on the shrubsteppe regions 'of Franklin and Dyrness (1973) but with special...
A mathematical model was developed to predict the absorption
rate of a slightly soluble gas entrained by a plunging liquid jet. The
single parameter of the model, the transfer factor, TF, was defined
as the summation of the product of the mass transfer coefficient and
interfacial area over all the...
The application of lime to an acid Nekia soil significantly
increased the yield of winter wheat and alfalfa in a field experiment.
Crop yields maximized when the lime was partially mixed into the surface
four inches of the soil. Thorough mixing of the lime into the
surface six inches of...
