  • Effects of DDE and DDT on the performance of coturnix quail

    Creator:
    Robson, William Andrew
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of p, p'-DDE and p, 'Dr-DDT on the performance of Coturnix quail (Co-. turnix coturnix japonica) fed an adequate and deficient calcium diet. In Experiment I four hundred day-old Coturnix quail of mixed sex were fed 0 and 50 ppm of p,...

  • A New Method for the Analysis of Human Hair : A Morphological Case Study of Five Sample Populations

    Creator:
    Weitzel, Misty A.
    Abstract:
    Hair is an important piece of evidence in forensic and archaeological investigations. Analysis of the morphological features of hair has been reported since at least the early 1800's. However, many questions still remain unanswered such as, how can human groups (or local populations) be analyzed and possibly distinguished from each...

  • Adapting computer science technologies to bridge critical gaps in proposed Tox21 risk assessment programs

    Creator:
    Larkin, Andrew
    Abstract:
    In 2004 the National Toxicology Program published an article describing their intent to pursue toxicology testing and risk assessment practices solely reliant on high throughput in vitro datasets and in silico modeling for dose-response assessments. Support and contributions form regulatory agencies and a significant portion of the life sciences community...

  • Regeneration patterns on some modified staggered-setting clearcuts on the H.J. Andrews experimental forest

    Creator:
    Franklin, Jerry F.
    Abstract:
    A survey of natural regeneration of Doug1as-fir and associated species was made on 15 staggered-setting cuttings four and five years after logging. These areas were on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest which is located in the McKenzie River area of western Oregon. Five types of cuttings were represented: (1)...

  • Fold growth due to kink-band migration in repeated earthquakes, Sierra de Villicum, San Juan, Argentina

    Creator:
    Krugh, William C.
    Abstract:
    Growth strata geometries and deformed geomorphic surfaces reflect the shorttimescale growth of Sierra de Villicum (San Juan Province, Argentina). Accumulated deformation in repeated earthquakes is recorded by the structural geometry of deformed geomorphic surfaces. Through geologic mapping and topographic surveying, six strath terraces were identified on the eastern flank of...

  • Reconstructing northern Alaska : crustal-scale evolution of the central Brooks Range

    Creator:
    Williams, Jonathan D.
    Abstract:
    Kinematic tectonic models constrained by Airy isostatic equilibrium demonstrate the crustal-scale evolution of the Brooks Range during ocean basin closure, arc-continent collision, and exhumation of the orogen. The Bouguer gravity anomaly low that develops across the orogen is related by wavelength to the amount of shortening during collision, and by...

  • Effects of diet and crude oil ingestion on growth and biochemistry of captive-reared pigeon guillemots (Cepphus columba)

    Creator:
    Hovey, Andrew K.
    Abstract:
    The pigeon guillemot (Cepphus columba) population in Prince William Sound has failed to recover from declines that occurred both before and after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS). Post-spill studies of pigeon guillemot breeding biology have identified three potential factors limiting recovery: (1) predation on eggs and nestlings; (2) declines...

  • Kinetic and vibration analysis of off-road bicycle suspension systems

    Creator:
    Levy, Morris
    Abstract:
    The aim of the present project was to quantify and compare differences in impact performance and damping effectiveness among various off-road bicycle suspension systems. Two experiments were conducted to compare suspensions. Fork impact performance was tested by measuring peak antero-posterior braking forces and impulses during impact with bumps of 6-...

  • Land use and land-use change in the Rocky Mountain west

    Creator:
    Broniak, Christine T.
    Abstract:
    Private land-use decisions can have important effects on private and public welfare. Market-based policies to regulate land use have the potential to move the privately-optimal allocation of land closer to what is socially optimal. To implement these policies in the Rocky Mountain states, it is necessary to understand the effects...

  • MARLA : a chess playing program

    Creator:
    Rood, Andrew Lloyd
    Abstract:
    MARLA is a collection of FORTRAN routines which implements the Shannon-type-chess program with alphabeta cutoffs occurring dynamically. Board positions are updated incrementally. Also involved in position analysis is a production system which models the human chess player's advice-taking, theme, and chess learning in a general sense. Interfacing these two sections,...
