The growth and food consumption of juvenile coho salmon [Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum)] exposed to natural and elevated fluctuating temperatures were studied in the laboratory with wild fish
collected from a salmonid rearing stream. Control temperatures were similar to the temperature regime of a natural stream and the elevated temperatures were...

Because of competition from abroad, the U. S. Steel
industry has begun research into the processes involved
with electric arc steelmaking. This paper addresses the

hydrodynamical effects used to melt the large
quantities of steel. A classical approach to the
derivation of...
The extensive and expanding use of radioactive materials
(RAM) in the production of power, industry, the healing
arts, and various branches of research has inevitably
resulted in a sizable increase of hazardous material
transportation in the state of Oregon. The location of the
Hanford facility just north of the Oregon...
The hydrophobicity of soils of the Deschutes National Forest was
studied. The soils are Cindery Typic Cryorthents, formed in cinders
and ash from Mt. Mazama. Ponderosa pine is the dominant overstory
vegetation. Of particular interest was the effect of prescribed
burning on hydrophobicity. Fire has been shown to cause a...
