Evidence recovered from the Marial site (35CU84) on the lower Rogue River in southwestern Oregon will provide a much needed source of archaeological data for the region of southwestern Oregon. It exists as a deep, multicomponent, C14 dated site in a region typified by single component sites
and a lack...
The 1979 incident at Three Mile Island drew attention to weaknesses in the capability to obtain and analyze reactor coolant
samples in an environment where the reactor core incurs significant
damage. As a result, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission promulgated regulations requiring that reactor coolant analytical capabilities be upgraded so...
Leaf surface area present on black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and Douglas hawthorn (Crataegus douglasi) was measured indirectly using a point frame, photographs, and a canopy analyzer. Each was compared to directly measured leaf surface area. Six black cottonwood and 3 Douglas hawthorn shrubs were selected in 1996 and 9 black...
The effect of temperature on cattle behavior and distribution was studied in the foothills of California. To accurately understand changes in livestock behavior and distribution, five seasonal trials, each spanning three to four weeks were conducted beginning spring 2004 and ending spring 2005. The two spring trials and the fall...
Unpaved roads are sources of chronic sediment in forested watersheds. Bare soil on roads is exposed to erosion from rainfall and runoff Published research on sediment production from forest roads focuses primarily on road characteristics. Since water drives the mechanics of sediment transport, hydrologic variables should correlate with sediment production....
