This report includes information concerning experimental use of unregistered pesticides or unregistered uses of pesticides. Experimental results should not be interpreted as recommendations for use. Use of unregistered materials or use of any registered pesticides inconsistent with its label is against both Federal Law and State Law.
Lamprey eel harvesting has systematically and periodically occurred along the Siletz River and its tributaries for as many as hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands of years that human families and lamprey eel populations have coexisted in the Siletz Valley ecosystem. Historical, cultural, and biological information for the twentieth...
Until now, most hypertext systems have been implemented on large scale computers. With improvements in microprocessors and development of graphical user interfaces, personal computers can run systems that previously needed the power of a mainframe. The low costs and widespread use of PCs will enable many people to use hypertext...
This report addresses the design and implementation of an internet-based grading tool for the "Translators" course. The motivation is to avoid exposing the instructor's Java byte-code to possible reverse-engineering tools and enable students to submit their homework virtually from any machine across the internet. This tool is intended to replace...
This text was written for the purpose of explaining the use of the engineer's transit, theodolite, engineer's level and plane table in the solution of fundamental problems related to Forest Engineering. While the use of the infrared and electronic distance measuring instruments do have a place in Forest Engineering, they...
It is suggested that the best way to learn about a Macintosh application is to play around with it. We agree with this philosophy and believe that most of the features in the Parallel Programming Support Environment (or PPSE) are easy enough to learn without referring to this manual. Most...
Using a spectrometer and photomultiplier tube, I measured the electromagnetic radiation transmittance properties of three types of tissue-- ventral skin, cardiac muscle, and liver tissue--in the red-sided garter snake Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis between the wavelengths of 450 and 850 nanometers (nm). Control readings were taken using a 10⁻² neutral density...
The purpose of the study was to assess county extension agents'
knowledge of geotextiles; to determine their current level of
information and their location on an adoption-diffusion curve; and to
determine the agents' attitudes toward the potential use of
geotextiles in agriculture, specifically in soil erosion control.
A questionnaire was...
The settlement history of a remote area in the Coast Range of Oregon, from the 1870s to the 1930s, is examined through factors that may have influenced the success or failure, and length of residence of the homesteaders and later residents. Despite the rugged and isolated location, a small community...
We present in situ electrode measurements of sediment resistivity, pore water oxygen, and pore water pH from three stations between 2300 and 3000 m depth on the Ontong-Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific. One of these stations is also the site of a concurrent benthic chamber incubation experiment [Jahnke...
