An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Vertical distribution patterns in a subarctic Pacific zooplankton community

Creator:: Marlowe, Christopher J.
Abstract:: A study has been made of the vertical distributions and migrations of a large number of zooplankton species at Weather Station "P" in the Subarctic Pacific. Simultaneously towed horizontal opening-closing nets were used for the study. The distributions and migrations of 104 taxa have been subjectively grouped into seven basic...

The dynamics of an isolated population of Acartia tonsa Dana (Copepoda) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, John Kenneth
Abstract:: In the upper estuary of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, there is an annual population explosion of Acartia tonsa, (Dana) a calanoid copepod, during the months of July, August and September, followed by a rapid decline to virtual extinction in November. The restricted estuarine distribution affords an excellent opportunity to study the...

A quantitative survey of the fleas associated with the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller

Creator:: Robbins, Richard George
Abstract:: A study of the population dynamics and ecology of the fleas associated with the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller, was conducted on three sites surrounding the city of Corvallis, Oregon. Over a period of 12 months, 22,641 adult and larval fleas representing three families and eight species were recovered from...

The uptake and retention of cesium-134 in Microtus canicaudus Miller

Creator:: Lei, Wayne
Abstract:: A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...

Metabolism of methionine in women using oral contraceptives

Creator:: Dow, Marjorie J.
Abstract:: The effect of oral contraceptives on the urinary excretion of several methionine metabolites was determined in women before and after they had received a 3-g dose of L-methionine. Nine women between the ages of 20-29 years served as subjects: five had been using a combination-type oral contraceptive for six months...

Pre- and Post-settlement Processes of Northern Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) in Relation to Interannual Variability in Temperature and Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...

Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Duncan, Corinne M.
Abstract:: Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...

A comparison of early marine residence in hatchery and natural Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Claiborne, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The mechanisms of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well-understood and, for many species, it is not clear if the mechanisms are similar for naturally and artificially propagated individuals. For Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), natural fish potentially face negative interactions, such as competition, and survival disadvantages, such...
