  • Water and sewerage services for Canadian Arctic communities

    Creator:
    Freeman, Richard Thomas
    Abstract:
    In attempting to provide modern water and sewerage services to the non-indigenous inhabitants of Canadian Arctic communities, engineering modifications are necessary owing to the presence of a continuous permafrost zone and a severe climate. Modifications are constraints on communities in that the costs of providing water and sewerage services are...

  • The delineation of landslides in the Lincoln County, Oregon coastal zone

    Creator:
    Gentile, John Richard
    Abstract:
    A study conducted along the Lincoln County, Oregon coast delineated the exact location of 153 landslides. The landslides were found through the interpretation of aerial photographs. Each landslide was verified in the field and its class (ancient, historic, recent), type (slump, debris slide or flow, planar slide), and status (stable,...

  • How Individual Transferable Quota Programs Affect Fishing Fleets

    Creator:
    Clarke, Robert L. Jr.
    Abstract:
    Some amount of of consolidation has occurred under almost every individual quote program that has been implemented. In the most severe cases, fishing fleets have lost over 70% of their vessels. Because of the devastating impact such losses can have on fishing communities, it is vital that the potential for...

  • Factors affecting rural land value

    Creator:
    Rich, Stanley Arthur
    Abstract:
    The value per-acre and annual amortization of rural land varies dynamically by parcel size. There are several adjustment factors or independent variables spatial, productive and development potential which affect the market value of all rural land. The evaluation of these must be accomplished by parcel size to be realistically equated....

  • Mapping the potential acidic deposition in southwestern California using ambient air concentrations of acid precursors

    Creator:
    Doherty, David D.
    Abstract:
    Attempts to map the distribution of acidic deposition have been inadequate, particularly in areas of seasonal or limited rainfall. Ambient air concentrations of acid precursors may be used to monitor and map the distribution of potential acidic deposition. A network of stations in California currently monitor these ambient air concentrations....

  • The effect of selected weather variables on the amount of stem rust damage to wheat in Nebraska

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Lawrence Marvin
    Abstract:
    Re searchers have long tried to correlate weather factors with plant disease occurrences. However, inconclusive results have usually been obtained because most plant diseases have biologic as well as climatic optimums. In this study, thirty weather variables were correlated, by the stepwise regression method in a computer, to the amount...
