Late Cretaceous magmatic evolution in the Pebble district culminated with the intrusion of the Kaskanak Batholith and associated porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization. The Kaskanak Batholith is a multiphase granodiorite intrusion with an estimated footprint of...
In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal
heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless,
this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water.
Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the
water volume transport necessary to remove this...
Redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) are found over a wide range of environmental conditions and are known for their variability in life history traits among watersheds or even within streams. Life history traits and population structure of these trout can be influenced by a variety of anthropogenic changes including habitat...
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is an acute, contagious disease of trout fry
and fingerlings caused by viruses of the family birnaviridae. IPN disease usually results
in mortality that is inversely proportional to the age of the fish. While many studies
have been carried out to increase our understanding of IPN,...

The effects of selected family characteristics on
interrelated components of household asset portfolios over a
three-year time period were investigated. Specifically, this
study attempted to conceptually define mental accounts, to
identify own-adjustment and cross-adjustment characteristics
of these mental accounts, to explore influences of selected
family characteristics on these mental accounts,...
