  • A comparison of four methods used in determining the diets of large herbivores

    Creator:
    McInnis, Michael Lindsay
    Abstract:
    Esophageal fistulation, stomach content analysis, fecal analysis, and ocular-estimate-by-plot are four of the most publicized methods of determining the diets of large herbivores. The principal objective of this study was to compare the relative values of each of these methods based upon information collected from bi-fistulated (esophageal and rumen) sheep...

  • A comparison of plant characteristics of annual ryegrass (Oregon), Lolium multiflorum Lam., and Linn perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L.

    Creator:
    Rosell, C. H.
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted to establish some characters which could be used, either in the field or in the laboratory, to differentiate between annual ryegrass (Oregon), Lolium multiflorum Lam. , and Linn perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L. Vernation, percentage of glumes covering the spikelets, and height of seedlings seem to be...

  • A food web analysis of a Mojave Desert geothermal spring system and feeding ecology of Moapa dace (Moapa coriacea)

    Creator:
    StSaviour, Adam
    Abstract:
    Understanding food webs is fundamental in conserving endangered species and maintaining healthy ecosystem function, particularly in desert spring systems. We identified dominant energy sources in the Muddy River Warm Springs area, Clark County, NV using carbon and nitrogen natural abundance stable isotope analyses. We examined isotopic signatures of specific macroinvertebrate...

  • A graphical ethernet monitoring system (GEMS)

    Creator:
    Park, Chung Min
    Abstract:
    GEMS (Graphical Ethernet Monitoring System) is an enhancement to the SU-PC/IP NETWATCH program, for the graphical display and recording of computer network packets. SU-PC/IP (Stanford University Personal Computer/Internet Protocol) NETWATCH displays one line of information per packet, including the packet type, IP addresses, packet size, and protocol type, etc. This...

  • A method for the determination of the free fatty acids of Cheddar cheese

    Creator:
    Bills, Donald D.
    Abstract:
    The free fatty acids of Cheddar cheese are important components in the over-all flavor and aroma of the cheese. Although the more volatile fatty acids probably contribute most, there is reason to believe that the higher fatty acids may contribute, to some extent, in imparting typical flavor characteristics. Before the...

    Creator:
    Zheng, Yuepeng
    Abstract:
    COLAN (Control Oriented Local Area Network ) is a redesign of the Task-Master, a daisy-chain structure distributed control system. COLAN is a simple bus structure communication subnetwork intended for distributed control applications. Low cost and simplicity are two main design criteria. Point-to-point and broadcast communications are possible. A packet switching...

  • A text display node for a control oriented local area network

    Creator:
    Ji, De
    Abstract:
    In recent years, integrated circuit technology has spawned the development of many low cost and high performance microprocessors and microcontrollers. With these devices, there is an increasing interest in the implementation of distributed control networks, utilizing microprocessors in the control nodes. In this work, a low-cost liquid crystal display (LCD)...

  • Age determination of corvina reina (Cynoscion albus) in the Gulf of Nicoya, based on otolith surface readings and microincrement analysis

    Creator:
    Mug-Villanueva, Moises
    Abstract:
    The corvina reina (Cynoscion albus) is an important part of the artisanal fishery in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica. Stock assessment on this sciaenid species has been restricted to the use of length-based methods because of the lack of age data. Direct age determination methodologies for tropical species often...

  • An Analysis of Nutrient Depletion in Douglas-fir Forests of the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Siah, Kaveh G.
    Abstract:
    Nutrient limitation constrains tree growth in many managed forests. Nitrogen (N) is the most common limiting nutrient, but high N supply can shift limitation to other nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) and the base cations calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). As different soil minerals have different capacities to supply...
