The project (partially) described in this paper was the result of an attempt by the Navy to use software complexity metrics to assess the complexity of Naval avionics software. In particular, the project consisted of computing a variety of software complexity metrics for CMS-2M and AYK-14 assembler source code and...

To learn whether vine stems are less structurally stable than shrub stems, I studied the architecture, anatomy, and mechanics of western poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), a plant that grows as a vine when provided with external support but otherwise as a shrub. I assessed the relative structural stabilities of vines...
Excised stem segments of vines had higher specific hydraulic conductivies (flow rate per pressure gradient per stem transverse area) than did trees during the dry season in a deciduous forest in Jalisco, Mexico. Vine species averaged from 2.7 to 203 x 10-3 m2 MPa-1 s-1 and tree species from 0.8...

Basaltic andesite inclusions and their host dacite from the Purico-Chascon complex in northern Chile are isotopically distinct. Textural characteristics of the inclusions are typical of those resulting from magma mingling. Serial sectioning across the interface of an inclusion and its host dacite, complemented by microdrill sampling and detailed microprobe work,...

Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprays or granular formulations were distributed...
The goal of this study is to analyze how the ISC Conservation Strategy may influence Oregon's timber availability and economy in the context of overall changes in public land management. Two themes are important: first, how the state's future will differ from today and second, how the state's future will...
Past disasters such as mercury poisoning in Minimata, and new problems such as tributyltin impacts on shellfish have maintained public concern about problems caused by chronic discharges of hazardous materials into marine waters (Clark, 1986; U.S. Congress, 1987). However, hazardous chemical spills in coastal waters typically escape public attention. Unlike...

In a properly operating septic system, the solid material in the sewage is settled out in a septic tank and stored until removal by pumping. The effluent from the tank is still sewage. It has a strong odor and is high in disease causing organisms. This effluent is treated and...
A temporal record of oxygen and NO3- concentrations in the bottom water of the Santa Barbara Basin indicates that outside waters spill over into the basin seasonally. It is proposed that an annual bottom-water cycle leads ultimately to varve production.
As evidence in support of a benthic mechanism for varve...
Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, good seedbed preparation, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest.
Because of the influence of soil type, climatic conditions, and other...
This report presents data and information developed during the 1988 crop season. Some of the work is done cooperatively with OSU staff members in several departments in the College of Agricultural Sciences. There is close cooperation with the OSU Agricultural and Home Economics Extension Service in reporting and making information...

Seasonal and diel changes in nutrient concentrations and nitrogen assimilation rates were used to assess the effects of NH4+ on NO3- assimilation. Surface-water NO3- concentrations ranged from 6 to 17 μM while NH4+ concentrations ranged from 0 to 0.4 μM. Total N assimilation ranged from 84 to 732 nM d–1...
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that NH4+ uptake by heterotrophic bacteria in the subarctic Pacific is C limited. Addition of glucose (0.5–1.0 μM) stimulated NH4+ uptake in unfractionated water but had no effect on bacterial abundance. Glucose stimulation of NH4+ uptake was even greater in...
The spatial and temporal variability of nearshore sand bar morphology is quantified using a unique data set
spanning 2 years. The data consist of daily time exposure images of incident wave breaking on an open coast
sandy beach which may be used to infer bar morphology (Lippmann and Holman, 1989)....
Satellite thermal imagery and in situ biological and physical data are presented that describe the spatial variability of phytoplankton biomass and species composition in relation to the physical structure at the sea surface during persistent upwelling off northern California. Surface patterns in temperature, geostrophic velocity, chlorophyll, and particle size structure...
Satellite-derived pigment concentrations from the west coast time series (WCTS) are averaged into monthly mean fields over the California Current system (CCS) for the period July 1979 to June 1986. Errors caused by the scattering algorithm used in the WCTS are reduced by an empirical correction function, although winter values...
