The portion of the Oregon coast extending from Cape Blanco south into California has long been recognized as a distinct physiographic region, with probable ramifications for prehistoric subsistence and settlement patterns. Several researchers have proposed models outlining a greater reliance upon marine/littoral resources among groups within this region, while more...
The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical framework for identifying and evaluating conditions that precipitate currency devaluation like those experienced by Mexico in 1994. This study develops a framework of financial and macroenvironmental indicators that point to potential currency devaluation in the future. Some of these indicators...
Improving the methods used for the detection and estimation of fissile material mass content is essential to nuclear security and safeguards to ensure special nuclear material (SNM) accountability, control, safety and security. With the continued expansion of the nuclear industry and the need for safe management of spent fuel, improving...
At present all vaccines for fish are primarily delivered either by injection or immersion which introduces added stress and labor. A more attractive method of vaccine delivery is oral administration using an enteric protection system, Enteric Coated Antigen Microspheres (ECAMs), which can be utilized for a variety of antigenic forms....
The conservation of open space will become increasingly important as populations expand and undeveloped land is converted to urban uses. The benefits derived from open space conservation include protecting and improving water quality, providing wildlife habitat, maintaining scenic amenities and rural character, and supplying certain recreational opportunities. This study utilizes...
Acidity distribution within any given soil profile is dependent on
mineralogical make-up of the parent material as well as environmental conditions prevalent during the weathering history of the soil.
An experiment was designed to study the distribution pattern of exchange acidity, exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable manganese and
pH of six acid...
Immunological memory has been shown to occur
unequivocally in mammals. However, controversy exists regarding
the capability of fish to elicite a memory response. This study
demonstrates that memory does occur
rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus rnykiss.
Trout injected with a T-dependent antigen,
trinitrophenylated keyhole-limpet hemocyanin, (TNP-KLH) (100
μg/fish) were able to produce...
Third order spectra computed from the rotary components of
winds and currents at the TOTEM buoy site off the Oregon coast provide
an insight to the nonlinear, quadratic interactions within and between
these vector fields. The topography of bispectra and cross-bispectra
as displayed on four tri-frequency planes shows that significant...
