We adapted a commercially available flow‐injection autoanalyzer (Lachat Quik‐Chem 8000) to measure seawater nitrate concentrations at a rate of nearly 0.1 Hz and phosphate and silicate concentrations at a rate half that. Several minor improvements, including reduced sample‐loop size, high sample flushing rate, modified carrier chemistry, and use of peak...
This assessment is intended to help conservation agencies, planners and organizations direct their resources to the most important places for supporting the ecoregion's biodiversity.
"The Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a small diving seabird of the Alcid family which is on the Federally Threatened Species list, and is state listed as endangered or threatened in California, Oregon, and Washington (Nelson, 1997). Because their nests are dispersed and difficult to locate high in trees of...
Statistics and Metrics Generator (SMG), is a software tool that gathers, stores and reports
performance and execution metrics for a web-based software installation process. The
purpose of this project was to develop a software utility that provides feedback about software
download and installation process efficiency. A web-based software installation is...
Grower cooperatives and quasi-cooperative producer associations
have a long tradition of using group action to establish or
improve quality standards and to promote product uniformity
for their crops and livestock. These efforts have often been key
to creating new domestic and international markets. Such
endeavors often include working closely with...
End-user programmers are writing an unprecedented number of programs, primarily using languages and environments that incorporate a number of interactive and visual programming techniques. To help these users debug these programs, we have developed an entirely visual, interactive approach to fault localization. This paper presents the approach. We also present...
By mapping the three-dimensional density field while simultaneously tracking a subsurface, isopycnal float, direct observations of upwelling along a shelfbreak front were made on the southern flank of Georges Bank. The thermohaline and bio-optical fields were mapped using a towed undulating vehicle, and horizontal velocity was measured with a shipboard...
Americans have enjoyed cakes for hundreds of years. Back in colonial
days, the old “recipes” called for measurements like “a lump of
butter the size of a walnut” or “a dessert spoon full of sugar.” Ingredients were beaten for hours and housewives guessed at the oven
temperatures in their wood...
It really doesn’t matter, because you can learn and have fun with the
4-H Poultry Project studying either the chicken or the egg. You don’t
even have to own a flock!
• Learn how to brood, feed, and care for chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese, guinea fowl, pheasants, or other wild...
In the past decade, Oregon produced on average 344,000 tons of sweet corn for processing on 43,000 acres annually, which ranked the state fourth nationally.
Most Oregon sweet corn is grown in the Willamette Valley where, along with green beans, it is a mainstay of the processed vegetable industry. However,...
During the past several years, grape acreages have increased significantly in Washington and Oregon (17 percent and 23 percent, respectively, from 1999 to 2002). Unfortunately, herbicide drift can pose a major threat to the growth
and success of commercial grape production adjacent to areas of small grain, hay, grass seed,...
This publication is designed to help you learn more about agricultural cooperatives or to help you think through the process of organizing and
operating such a business. While the focus is on creating a new
cooperative, many of the ideas may be of interest to those thinking
about reorganizing or...
