The objectives for the use of the Oregon State
University college forest include providing both facilities
for research and teaching, and providing funding through
timber harvest. The older age-classes of the forest are
valuable for attaining both objectives. The opportunities
and costs of removing acreage in the older age classes...
Although the biological occurrence of 5'-methylthioadenosine
(MTA) and 5-methylthioribose (MTR) were recognized more than a half
century ago, very little light has been cast on the physiologic significance
of either substance. My studies were designed to extend
our knowledge of the metabolism of MTA and to determine if this pathway...
Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive
slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is
largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with
Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with
Picea mariana. In this study, I...
Rapid tiller and root production can improve seedling survival and
benefit stand establishment of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)
in commercial seed fields. Environmental conditions after establishment
and inherent morphological factors combine to reduce the commercially
harvested yield below the theoretical potential yield.
These studies were conducted to determine if...
A facility developed using the OSU TRIGA pulsing capability and high speed motion photography has been used successfully for more than a decade to produce dynamic neutron radiographs of solid propellant combustion, two phase flow, and liquid streamflow. The existing imaging components have undergone little modification since the experiment's inception...
Wecoma cruise W8807A was conducted in late July and early August 1988 as part of the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made over a standard grid in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37°N and 39.5°N that was occupied repeatedly during June, July and August; this...
