advocate in promoting competitive experiences for the
mentally retarded. Few studies have focused on the
effects of participation in competitive athletics on
individuals who are mentally retarded. The purpose...
With indications that fisheries production has plateued at a global capacity of 85 million metric tons in the 1990's, further exploitation of marine stocks on a sustainable basis is unrealistic. Economic development of coastal and regional economies will benefit from new approaches to maximizing benefits from harvested products that include...
The relationship between intrinsic fish quality (fish condition before handling), production efficiency, product price, and the optimal management of commercial "wild" fisheries was explored in four companion papers. The optimal management plan-consisting of quotas and harvest schedules - would maximize the discounted net industry revenues (NPV) given a minimum biomass...
Pacific whiting, with a maximum sustainable yield between 150,000 and 250,000 metric tons, is the largest stock of fish found off Oregon. The majority of the fish are processed into surimi. Hundreds of variables could potentially affect surimi quality (gel strength). Alternative harvesting and processing input combinations, as well as...
This study describes the composition and structure of forests within the immediate
vicinity of Northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nest sites in the Klamath,
Coast, and Cascade provinces of western Oregon and the Olympic province, Washington.
I compared forest stand data collected at 105 nest sites with data from...
