Stratigraphy, depositional environments, and diagenesis of the Devonian Simonson and Guilmette Formations in the White Pine, Egan, and Schell Creek Ranges, White Pine County, Nevada

Creator:: DeDen, F. Michael
Abstract:: The Devonian Simonson and Guilmette Formations provide examples of Cordilleran miogeosynclinal inner and middle shelf carbonate deposition that act in response to changes in eustasy, sedimentation, and tectonics. The Simonson Dolomite consists of four members that collectively record three distinct transgressive-regressive cycles. The Coarse Crystalline dolomudstone lithofacies represents restricted upper...

Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

Creator:: Carlson, Erik
Abstract:: Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

Computer simulation of irrigation system improvements : an analysis of income, risk and offsite impacts

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Policy analysts designing programs to improve the efficiency and expand the use of water in the irrigation of farm lands often enlist benefit-cost analysis as a means of assessing impacts and feasibility. While on-site comparisons of costs and benefits are important factors in project assessment, other dimensions such as risk,...

Biology of the Rex sole, Glyptocephalus zachirus Lockington, in waters off Oregon

Creator:: Hosie, Michael J.
Abstract:: Data are presented on the life history and population dynamics of rex sole (Glyptocephalus zachirus Lockington) collected from Oregon waters between September 1969 and October 1973. Length-weight relationships vary little between sexes or with time of year. Otolith annuli form primarily from January through May and were used for age...

Alternating current and voltage profiles on compensated high-voltage underground power cables

Creator:: Hirakami, Michael
Abstract:: The utilization of extra-high-voltage underground power cables over distances greater than 100 miles presents serious problems relative to the voltage and current limits of such cables. These problems are directly associated with the fixed amount of capacitance inherent in long cable lines. As a result, large charging currents are characteristic...

Stratigraphy and paleoenvironments of Thetis, Kuper and adjacent Islands, British Columbia

Creator:: Simmons, Michael Lee
Abstract:: The bedrock of Thetis, Kuper, and seven adjacent islands and islets of British Columbia's Gulf Islands consists of four Late Cretaceous (Campanian) formations of the Nanaimo Group. The four, from oldest to youngest, are the Cedar District, De Courcy, Northumberland, and Geoffrey Formations. The formations vary greatly in thickness but...

Aqueous-organic partition coefficients for Rn-222 and their application to Radon analysis by liquid scintillation methods

Creator:: Cantaloub, Michael G.
Abstract:: A method is described for determining the partition coefficient, K, for radon gas distributed between an aqueous phase and an organic solvent. The method uses sequential extractions of radon into equal volume aliquots of organic solvent. The radon-laden organic liquid is then counted on a liquid scintillation analyzer with alpha-beta...

The transpiration behavior of Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii Pursh.) under various management regimes in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Bentson, Kenneth Paul
Abstract:: Four different plot types were established in shrub and tree comunitities in Little Elk Valley in southwest Oregon. Ten functional (F) plots were cleared of all vegetation in a radius of three times the height of the surrounding vegetation around a single Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii Pursh.) tree. Ten competition...

Effects of wildfire on growth and demographics of coastal cutthroat trout in headwater streams

Creator:: Heck, Michael P.
Abstract:: Wildfire is a largely terrestrial perturbation broadly recognized as an agent of disturbance and ecological change in forested biomes. Effects of post-fire conditions on biotic components of aquatic systems have been less well-documented, although hypothetically, the two are strongly connected. In fact, the influence of wildfire may be most profound...

The effects of gypsum on infiltration and surface properties of some western Oregon soils

Creator:: Pronold, Michael Joseph
Abstract:: The effects of broadcast gypsum on infiltration rates, crusting, aggregate stability, and runoff and sediment yields were analyzed during the winter months on three West Oregon soils. The results were used to evaluate its utility as a management tool to help control erosion. An application rate of two metric tons...

CounterDataFlow architecture : design and performance

Creator:: Miller, Michael F., (Michael Frederic)
Abstract:: The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull and Sutherland to demonstrate the concept of asynchronous circuits. This architecture relies on distributed decision making and localized clocking and data movement. We have taken these ideas and reformulated them into a substantially faster more scalable architecture that has the same distributed...
