The Seventh Annual James A. Vomocil Water Quality Conference was planned after three topics had been selected as being of particular interest. Wetlands, Best Management Practices, and Riparian Zone Effectiveness were the topics. Speakers were invited who by virtue of their training, their experience, or their work assignment had insights...
The goal of this research project is to determine the fractal nature, if any, which
surface water waves exhibit when viewed on a microscopic scale. Due to the
relatively recent development of this area of mathematics, a brief introduction to the
study of fractal geometry, as well as several examples...
The purpose of this thesis is to apply the wavelet transform WT to
multiresolution structures for analyzing the information content of images based on
multiresolution signal decomposition of the wavelet representation. The advantage
of the wavelet transform is the fact that it uses different building blocks than the
Fourier's sines...

Sandy soils are among the least productive soils because of their inability to
store adequate water for plant growth. Their high percolation rate not only allows
water to move quickly beyond the root zone, but also washes nutrients below the reach
of plant roots. High evaporation occurs from the soil...
A method for predicting oceanic productivity from remotely sensed diffuse attenuation (488 nm) and
surface chlorophyll concentration is presented. The method uses a climatological approach which consists
of applying a set of regressions for each region and season to yield the depth of the chlorophyll maximum,
the exponential slope of...
Vernalization plays a fundamental role in the adaptation of winter cereals to their growing environment by controlling their growth habit, thereby allowing them to escape cold injury. Because of the climatic conditions of the region, dry summers and wet winters, growers sometimes cannot plant all of their winter wheat in...
This project focuses on the classification of
vegetation as a habitat for wild turkeys. The
vegetation classification discussed here is only one
part of a study looking at habitat requirements,
seasonal use patterns, and brood-rearing habits of
wild turkeys in Southern Oregon. The vegetation
classification was performed for an area...
