  • Effects of petroleum mulch on soil water content and soil temperature

    Creator:
    Kowsar, Ahang
    Abstract:
    Petroleum mulch applied on the soil surface over a row of planted seeds promotes a more rapid and a more uniform germination of seeds, enhances elongation of seedlings and in some cases increases the yield of the crop. The beneficial effects of petroleum mulch have usually been attributed to increased...

  • The effects of defoliation on Bromus tectorum seed production and growth

    Creator:
    Mayer, Kara Hempy
    Abstract:
    Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a widespread exotic weed in the Intermountain sagebrush steppe. An annual grass, it is highly prolific and very competitive with native perennial grass seedlings. A clipping experiment carried out at two cheatgrass-dominated sites (Lincoln Bench and Succor Creek) in eastern Oregon analyzed effects of defoliation...

  • Taxonomy and reproduction of Microtus canicaudus

    Creator:
    Tyser, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    The taxonomic status of Microtus canicaudus was compared with that of a morphologically similar vole, Microtus montanus. Four means of comparison were utilized: hybridization experiments, comparative karyology, growth distinctions (total length and body weight), and qualitative behavioral observations. The hybridization experiments indicated that, while the incidence of pregnancy of M....

  • Population dynamics of Microtus canicaudus

    Creator:
    Gilston, Richard Robert
    Abstract:
    Four experimental groups were designed to examine the effects of a "greens" dietary supplement (wheat clippings), as well as individual versus group-housing, on the adrenal and reproductive physiology of Microtus canicaudus. Organ culture of adrenal glands, thin-layer chromatography, and fluorescence analysis of steroid-containing medium were used to quantitatively assess adrenal...

  • A nonlocal mixing formulation for the atmospheric boundary layer

    Creator:
    Frech, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    A two-scale approach for the turbulent mixing of momentum in an unstable stratified boundary layer is proposed in an attempt to eliminate existing inconsistencies between parameterized mixing of heat and momentum. The parameterization of the large eddy stress is suitable for simple boundary layer models where computational efficiency is important....

  • Flow over surface discontinuities in a marine environment

    Creator:
    Moore, Erin M.
    Abstract:
    This study concentrates on analysis of LongEZ aircraft data taken offshore of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Due to the land structure of the region, it was possible to isolate the effect of narrow land on air as it flows offshore. The narrow land (Outer Banks) separates inland...

  • Stability analysis of homogeneous shear flow : the linear and nonlinear theories and a Hamiltonian formulation

    Creator:
    Hagelberg, Carl R.
    Abstract:
    The stability of steady-state solutions of the equations governing two-dimensional, homogeneous, incompressible fluid flow are analyzed in the context of shear-flow in a channel. Both the linear and nonlinear theories are reviewed and compared. In proving nonlinear stability of an equilibrium, emphasis is placed on using the stability algorithm developed...

  • Leaf elongation as a function of soil water potential and photoperiod

    Creator:
    Hodges, T.
    Abstract:
    Leaf elongation is a major indicator of plant growth. It is controlled by complex interactions of many factors including light intensity, photoperiod, water availability, atmospheric conditions, and plant water stress. In this study, the response of leaf elongation to length of photoperiod and to plant water stress as indicated by...
