This study consisted of determining some of the conditions for
culture of young English sole (Parophrys vetulus Girard) in the laboratory.
Rearing of the larvae to the juvenile stage was attempted
unsuccessfully; techniques used and problems encountered during culture
are discussed. Growth of juveniles was studied at combinations of
temperatures...
The competition or rivalry for the use of water resources
among economic sectors of the Pacific Northwest and among geographical
regions of the western United States has intensified in recent
years. This rivalry and the long run prospects for water shortages
have increased the demand for research concerning the productivity...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
A series of log storage experiments were conducted to determine
whether leachates derived from water storage of logs are acutely
toxic to fish. Log segments approximately 18 inches long and 16 inches
in diameter were stored in tanks and held submerged for a period of
7 days. The holding water...
A study was conducted over a two year period, 1973 through
1974, on perennial ryegrass-subclover pastures with stocking rates
of 7.4 (moderate), 9. 9 (heavy), and 12.4 (overstocked) ewes per
hectare to establish guidelines on stocking intensity for dryland
improved pastures in western Oregon. Climatic conditions varied
annually and caused...
By using continued fractions the set of positive
irrationals can be put in one to one correspondence
with the set of sequences of positive integers. The
entries of an arbitrary sequence of integers can be any
subset of Z and each integer appearing can occur once,
infinitly often, or anything...
This monograph presents a proof grammar for a formal language containing property symbols of every finite type. The proof grammar is thus applicable to any finite level higher-order logic.
The unique features of this system are: first, its mode of presentation as a recursive discourse grammar rigorously constructed from the...
Yield reductions due to competition of weeds with crop plants
can be extremely important. Early weed competition can be as important
in reducing crop yield as weed competition for the entire
season.
The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the weed
control achieved by narrow row-cropping patterns, (2)...
A survey of partial cuts planted with bare-root seedlings, was conducted on the Prospect Ranger District, Rogue River National Forest, Oregon, during the 1977 summer season. The purpose was to assess stocking and its composition under present levels of canopy cover, and to determine relationships between canopy density and performance...
