A procedural manual for sampling and analyzing sanitary landfill
leachate was designed to guide sanitarians and other public health
officials in monitoring mineral and organic material drainage from
landfill sources. The manual was constructed to allow flexibility of
conducting analytical tests in a field or laboratory environment.

The issue of merging the social sciences might be
thought of as an issue of categorization. It may be that
that things psychologists have learned about
categorization and categories will illuminate this issue.
Claytonia perfoliata is a west-American polyploid complex of
common annuals (x=6). The species is polymorphic; exomorphic
characters are often variable within local populations. In a transect
of the Columbia River Gorge diploids, tetraploids, hexaploids, octoploids,
and decaploids were collected, which varied in shape of basal
and cauline leaves, degree of...
Meiotic chromosome counts from 200 populations of Claytonia
(Montia) perfoliata (sensu lato) reveal a polyploid pillar complex based
on three morphologically different, chemically distinct, and geographically
defined diploids. The basic chromosome number is x=6.
Diploid C. perfoliata Willdenow with linear juvenile leaves and deltoid
mature basal leaves ranges southeastward from...
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of

Three broadly interrelated problems of critical significance to the proper interpretation of melt inclusion (MI) data are addressed in this thesis. The first issue, the petrogenesis of anorthitic plagioclase phenocrysts in MORB lavas, has relevance due to the presence of numerous MI in many high-An feldspars. This problem was addressed...
Remote sensing technologies have proven useful and cost-efficient for quantifying various forest vegetation characteristics over multiple scales. However, significant limitations were encountered in each of two related experiments conducted to explore their potential to supplement or replace traditional, single-species biomass equations for estimation of ground vegetation and tree overstory on...
The objectives of this investigation were to examine the changes in vegetation resulting from application of herbicides, and to study the effects of these vegetative changes on the abundance and composition of small-mammal populations, and on deer usage of treated and untreated plots. Three areas in western Oregon were selected...
Practical hydrostatic ocean models are often restricted to statically stable configurations by the use of a convective adjustment. A common way to do this is to assign an infinite boat conductivity to the water at a given level if the water column should become statically unstable. This is implemented in...

A data assimilation system (DAS) of the wind‐driven, mesoscale shelf circulation off the Oregon coast is developed. The DAS assimilates low‐pass filtered surface velocity measurements, obtained from land‐based high‐frequency coastal radar arrays, into a primitive equation coastal ocean model using a sequential optimal interpolation scheme. Inhomogeneous and anisotropic estimates of...
