Factors affecting animal detection and identification
by remote sensing are compiled and described. Habitat preference
and animal behavior are shown to be the variables that most
influence detection and identification. An analysis of the
basis of application of thermal infrared sensors to animal
detection covering the principles of infrared radiation...
This paper explores the confusion that exists between general definitions of what constitutes a GIS or CAD system. Then a comparison and contrast is made of microcomputer versions of GIS and CAD programs using as examples two of the most popular, pcARC/INFO and Aut0CAD. The differences and similarities are discussed...
K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar geochronologic
data reveal the Paleocene to Eocene eruptive
history of volcanic centers which produced the
basaltic basement rocks of the Coast Range of
Oregon and Washington. Volcanism was short
lived at each center and migrated with time from
the northern and southern ends toward the
center, near...
Rats exposed to one or two doses of 60 mg mirex/kg
by gavage exhibited hypertrophied livers and various
degrees of hepatobiliary dysfunction. Although single
dosed animals demonstrated elevated whole liver bile flow
after 96 hours, the single dose was insufficient to
significantly inhibit whole liver hepatobiliary
performance as measured by...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a
power lifting weight training program on the dynamic strength, static
strength and body composition of college females. Thirteen college
females volunteered for the study. The subjects trained three days
per week for a total of nine weeks which...
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the
effectiveness of the Oregon Level I Diversion Program in changing
knowledge and attitude concerning driving after drinking.
A secondary purpose was to determine the effect of the eight
different class-time schedules used to teach the required 12-hour
curriculum on the...
The in vitro effects of cortisol in regulating salmonid B cell functions were
investigated. B cells at three distinct stages of differentiation were examined for
cortisol sensitivity. B lymphocyte responses were examined 1) during the early stage
of the precursor, 2) during the intermediate stage of differentiation associated with
clonal...
Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of a tumor-promoting phorbol ester, a calcium ionophore and indomethacin on bovine luteal oxytocin (OT) synthesis and secretion and progesterone secretion. Six 18-month-old crossbred beef heifers in Exp. 1 and five similar heifers in Exp. 2 were observed twice daily for estrus using...
