exceptional examples of the Nation’s biological and geological features. To qualify for
NNL designation, a site must be one of the best examples of a geological or biological
feature within a biophysiographic province. Zumwalt Prairie represents a perfect example
of this concept, containing one of the largest remnants of native...
Zora Neale Hurston was a Black American writer
during the period of the Harlem Renaissance. The
purpose of this study is to show that three of her four
novels form a protracted discussion of a particular
type of freedom which was of especial interest to
Hurston. The study seeks to...
The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally
heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has
never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and
community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton
samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...
Samples targeting crustacean zooplankton were collected from 3 upper Willamette Basin reservoirs during May-August 2015. Van Dorn sampling devices were used to collect samples at discrete depths from Fall Creek Reservoir, Lookout Point Reservoir, and Hills Creek Reservoir.
Zooplankton samples were collected during daytime and nighttime corresponding with the new...

This technical report summarizes the
results of a three year study of the zooplankton
living in the nearshore zone off
Newport, Oregon. The sampling program was
part of the Early Life History (ELH) project
of the Oregon State University Sea Grant Program
and was designed to study the ecology
of...
A study was done on the zoogeography of species of oceanic
shrimp in the North Pacific from 22°N to 56°N and from 124°W to
145°E, using samples of shrimp collected from 1954 to 1969. These
collections were made during the following cruises: John R. Manning
Cruise 22, and the Hugh...
Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village
complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal
bones recovered from the site offer the first significant
insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region.
Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented,
detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were
the primary meat resource...
In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...
The conventional view of equatorial dynamics requires that the zonal equatorial wind stress be balanced, in the mean, by the vertical integral of “large-scale” terms, such as the zonal pressure gradient, mesoscale eddy flux, and mean advection, over the upper few hundred meters. It is usually presumed that the surface...
