Food consumption and growth of the larvae of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Malouf, Robert E.
Abstract:: The food consumption and growth of Pacific oyster larvae were studied in three experiments making use of a constant flow apparatus. The apparatus maintained a continuous flow of various densities of algae through test chambers containing different numbers of larvae in a factorial design. Three additional experiments were conducted in...

Examination of Photochemical Water Treatment by SolarBags

Creator:: White, Robert E.
Abstract:: Inadequate access to clean water is an ongoing problem in many developing areas of the world. In developed nations, it is important to plan for access to clean water following natural disasters. In situations without reliable access to electricity and chemical treatment methods, there is a need for an inexpensive...

Finite amplitude deep water waves : a comparison of theoretical and experimental kinematics and dynamics

Creator:: Jensen, Robert E.
Abstract:: Problems associated with quantification of deep water wave kinematics and dynamics are examined. Summaries of Stokes' theory and Dean's stream function theory are reported. A computer algorithm is developed to solve the hydrodynamic characteristics for Stokes' fifth and third order and linear theories. Tests are initiated to verify the results...

Temperature effects on postanthesis floral phenology and megagametophytic development in meadowfoam

Creator:: Franz, Robert E.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.), an open-pollinated herbaceous winter annual, is adapted to Mediterranean climates and produces a seed oil with industrial uses. Seed yield in meadowfoam is partially determined by the number of seeds produced per flower. The flower is protandrous with the stigmata becoming receptive 1-3 days after anther...

Environmental pathway analysis of a radioactive zirconium sand uploading facility

Creator:: Miller, Robert E.
Abstract:: The Teledyne Wah Chang facility is a manufacturer of the rare metal zirconium. The facility has been in constant production since 1956. In 1973 an attempt to utilize different sand ore sources from Nigeria and India in a new carbiding process, prior to chlorination, failed. The resulting byproducts of the...

¹³C-CP MAS NMR study of decomposition of five coniferous woody roots from Oregon

Creator:: Hawkins, Robert E.
Abstract:: Using ¹³C cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance techniques on 5 species of dead trees from the northwest (western hemlock, Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine) I tracked the lignin and cellulose content over a 22 to 36 year period in order to determine the...

Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Alumbaugh, Robert E.
Abstract:: Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...

Calcium carbonate, organic carbon, and quartz in hemipelagic sediments off Oregon : a preliminary investigation

Creator:: Peterson, Robert E.
Abstract:: An analysis of the amounts of calcium carbonate, organic carbon, quartz, and the rates of sediment accumulation in hemipelagic sediments off Oregon has revealed that the accumulation rates of the total sediment, organic carbon, and quartz were at least twice as high in the late Pleistocene as they were during...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...
