WRRI 106 is placeholder for the research findings of Project No. G-928-03 funded by U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey. Findings are available in Piehl, Bradley T. (1986) An evaluation of culverts on low volume forest roads in the Oregon Coast Range (Masters Thesis, Oregon State University. Forest Engineering)...
The analysis of prehistoric stone features has suffered for two separate but related reasons. The first is the lack of stringency in defining the terms attributed to these structures and, second, the perception of a lack of formal attributes exhibited by them. These two factors have made it impossible to...
From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...
An important factor affecting the strength and ultimate load of wood structures is the strength, stiffness and durability of its joints. Therefore, the behavior of nailed joints must be given proper consideration when designing and analyzing wood structures. Presently,formulas for determining the strength of nailed joints under withdrawal loads, as...
Regression equations applicable to biomass components of standsof western hemlock [Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.} were developedby destructive sampling of a thinned and an unthinned stand ofwestern hemlock near Seaside, Oregon. Equations predicted more live-branchbiomass and less dead-branch biomass per tree for the thinnedstand, but equations for biomass of foliage, twigs,...
The Middle and West Forks of Little Sheep Creek in the southern Tendoy Range have incised valleys across Cenozoic structural features exposing strata that range in age from the Mississippian to the Neoene. Paleozoic strata are 1,349 m thick and belong to the Mission Canyon Limestone, the Big Snowy, Amsden,...
This thesis is an effort to formalize and document some of the changes occuring in the Warwar Valley of Gongola State, Nigeria, West Africa. The documentation will comprise a photographic study over time accompanied by an ethnographic narrative. Information gathered from photographic images, field notes and the anthropological record will...
Subsurface mapping was used to determine the structure andgeologic history of the South Cuyama dome and part of the Russellfault in the South Cuyama oil field area. Deformed Late Cretaceousand or early Tertiary marine strata are unconformably overlain bythe late Oligocene to early Miocene Vaqueros Formation (QuailCanyon Sandstone Member, Soda...
