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.
The Chelan Valley is one of several valleys located on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains contributing to the leadership of Washington in apple production. Since the nature of the activity in the Chelan Valley is typical of all these producing areas,it was selected as a case study of...
Part I. To aid in the management of the Tillamook Bay commercial salmon fishery, a tagging program was conducted on the salmon and steelhead trout runs in 1953. General migration behavior, the minimum length of time the fish remained in the fishery, population sizes, and fishing mortalities were determined from...
Oregon State University operates a World-Wide Standard Seismograph
Station at Corvallis (COR) and a seismic station at Klamath Falls (KFO),
Oregon.
The Corvallis station includes three short-period Benioff seismographs
(To = 1 sec, Tg = 0.75 sec), three long-period Sprengnether
seismographs (To = 30 sec, Tg = 100 sec), and...

This document contains transcripts of Joel Hedgpeth’s series of lectures delivered over KPFA radio in Berkeley, California. These passionate lectures described the uses of oceanography, attempted to differentiate between oceanography and marine science, and encouraged students to pursue oceanography. Joel Hedgpeth was a director of the Hatfield Marine Science Center.
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from April 1961-March 1962. It includes a summary of observations of clam conditions, and discusses a Netarts Bay clam mortality, which drove the Fish Commission to ask the Tillamook County Court to inform them of any future construction projects involving estuaries. It...
Eleven series of untreated posts, 33 series of nonpressuretreated posts, and 13 series of pressure-treated posts remain in test. Series in which all posts have failed now number 34 for untreated, and 18 for nonpressure-treated. Causes of failures since 1949 were: fungi, 77 per cent of failures; fungi and termites,...
A method for measuring chemical reaction rates in order to
distinguish between different reaction mechanisms is presented.
This method was used to study zero -, first- and second -order reactions
by analyzing the output response to a sinusoidal input of
reactant concentrations in an isothermal continuous stirred tank
reactor.
The...
There are seven stratigraphic units exposed in the Picture
Gorge quadrangle, a 204-square mile area in east-central Oregon.
isolated exposures of pre-Cretaceous serpentinites, metalimestones,
and other metamorphic rocks record marine deposition
of sands silts, and limy sediments followed by burial, lithification,
peridotite intrusion, and several periods of deformation. Intrusion
and...
This thesis discusses the design and evaluation of an instrument that can estimate the probability density distributions of bandlimited, aperiodic electrical phenomena. This estimator can obtain the probability density estimates of signals that are contained within the frequency range of 100 cps. to 20 kcs. However, the basic design logic...
