The Upper Ojai Valley is a tectonic depression between
opposing reverse faults, Its northern border is formed
by the active, north-dipping San Cayetano fault with 6.0
km of dip-slip displacement in the Silverthread oil field
and 2.6 km displacement west of Sisar Creek; the fault
dies out farther west in...
This paper explores the language theories of Gary Snyder, an important modern environmental author whose early work was associated with the Beat movement of the early 1950's. I am particularly interested in Snyder's thoughts on how language relates to nature. I focus primarily on Snyder's prose in attempts to understand...
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part
traces (in details providing proofs and examples) the
history of the solutions of polynomial equations(of the
first, second, third, and fourth degree) by radicals from
Babylonian times (2000 B.C.) through 20th century. Also it
is shown that there is no...
Distribution and life history characteristics of lacustrine-adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus
confluentus) were described in the North Fork Skokomish River Basin (including Lake
Cushman, a reservoir) from 1994 to 1996. Day snorkeling was conducted in the river to
determine initiation of the bull trout spawning migration, abundance of spawners, and
duration...
Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) and A. gracile (northwestern salamander) are two common salamander species occupying key trophic positions in mountain ponds of Mount Rainier National Park. The objective of this research was to document and evaluate the distributions and abundances of the two species, relative to habitat characteristics of ponds...
Linear programming is a recent development in the field of Mathematics having its origin in the past seventy-five years. The purpose of this study was to identify several methods for solving linear programming problems. The algorithm for each of the methods is described in detail along with an analysis of...
From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...
The purpose of this report is to address the problem of supplying
construction aggregates to Oregon's coastal areas that are currently, or
will in the near future, be deficient of good quality materials. This
is done primarily by studying methods of utilizing marginal aggregates
that are abundantly available in the...
