The starvation-survival patterns of 16 freshly isolated open
ocean bacteria and in a psychrophilic Vibrio sp., Ant-300, were
determined. These isolates displayed three survival patterns as
determined by viable cell count. These were (a) a rapid increase
followed by a decrease to a constant value (pattern of Ant-300 and
7...
The effect of increased egg consumption on plasma
cholesterol levels and its distribution among lipoproteins and
Apolipoprotein A-I/A-II ratios of high density lipoprotein
subfractions in individuals who did and did not demonstrate response
in plasma cholesterol levels was studied in 20 healthy middle-aged
men (30-55 years of age) for three...
The objectives of this study were to (1) describe
physical environmental conditions and species composition
at several sites along an Upstream/downstream gradient in a
number of tributaries of the Willamette River in western
Oregon; and (2) identify possible relationships between
species distributional patterns and physical habitat
parameters using detrended correspondence...
The two dimensional wavemaker problem on a finite domain is derived
for nonlinear waves. A numerical method based on the method of lines is
developed and applied to two test problems, the nonlinear surface pressure
distribution problem and the nonlinear full-flap wavemaker problem. The
solutions yield information about the fluid...

The purpose of this study was to determine if thinning, fertilization or a combination of thinning and fertilization had an effect on overall average specific gravity, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, fiber length and intra-ring characteristics. Material for this experiment consisted of 7 trees randomly selected from each of...
The amylose component of cereal starch contains lysophospholipid,
predominantly lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) as inclusion complexes.
As starch undergoes degradation by amylases during barley germination,
lysophospholipase (LPL) an enzyme which degrades lysophospholipids
appears in the starchy endosperms and becomes associated with the
starch fraction. The enzyme has been reported to have a...
Classification of Streams and stream habitats is useful for research involving establishment of monitoring stations, determining local impacts of land use practices, generalization from site-specific data, and assessment of basin-wide, cumulative impacts of human activities on streams and their biota. This thesis presents a framework for a hierarchical classification system,...
