A vegetation study was made of four coastal marshes near Juneau,
Alaska. Results confirmed earlier studies' findings in southeast
Alaska that communities or assemblages of species can be identified
but from marsh to marsh these assemblages appear to have no consistent
relationship to each other or to environmental "factors" such...
Studies were conducted in the vicinity of Mount Tolman
on the Colville Indian Reservation in eastern Washington in
order to identify vegetation habitat types of the area.
After field studies were completed, Daubenmire's keys to
habitat types of eastern Washington (1968, 1970) were used
to determine habitat types of the...
The objectives of this study are to: 1) study the variations
among stands of old-growth Sitka spruce forest located within a relatively
restricted geographical area, 2) determine the relationship between
species distribution, vegetational pattern, and such site factors
as slope and aspect, and 3) ascertain the abruptness of phytosociological
change...
In an effort to describe the plant communities and
succession of the Oregon coastal grasslands, vegetation
and environmental data were collected from 75 stands at
24 separate locations ranging from Cape Falcon in Tillamook
County to Cape Ferrelo in Curry County. The vegetation
data consisted of cover and frequency values...
Grassy balds are meadows that occur on or near the summits of montane peaks and ridges. The sites on which balds are located generally fall within the climatic tolerance ranges of associated tree species. This study evaluates the stability of a forest-meadow transition zone of such a bald on Marys...
An important task of a Variable Speed Generation (VSG)
system is the capability to maintain and control the terminal
voltage at some desired value as determined by the
reactive power dispatch strategy.The main objective is to
design a sub-optimal fixed-parameter controller in the
sense that constraints with respect to practical...
Phage-insensitive Streptococcus cremoris starter strains were
selected by assaying cheese whey against potential starter
strains. Six strains were selected and characterized for continual
use in cheesemaking. Upon phage-infection, strains were removed
from the blend. Cheesemaking continued with remaining strains. A
phage-insensitive, fast-acid-producing mutant of the infected
strain was isolated and...
