The Farm Enterprise Committee of the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Indian Reservation requested that an evaluation be made
of the Reservation land resource for the purpose of acquisition by the
Tribe as a part of a study of the feasibility of an expanded farm
enterprise. The Committee's primary goal...
This study investigated the private costs to individual households
of large-lot zoning policies. The study asked whether typical
zoning ordinances create shortages of small lots or small structures
and, if so, what the magnitude of the resultant welfare loss is.
The hypotheses were suggested by a theoretical model developed
to...
In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...
The ingestion, uptake, and metabolism of liposomes by juvenile
Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were studied by several methods in
an effort to assess their potential as encapsulating agents. Liposomes
composed of egg phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol-stearylamine (7:1:2)
formed readily and appeared stable in 20°/oo seawater. Radiotracer
studies with liposomes made with ¹⁴C-labeled cholesterol...
Comparative investigations based on volcanic morphology suffer from the lack of a large terrestrial baseline for comparison. To fill this gap, the Lava Flow Morphology Database (LAMDA) was proposed as a GIS based central clearinghouse for remote and field investigations of volcanic morphology. This study presents an analysis of LAMDA’S...
This study describes the soils, vegetation and age structure
of the Pinus contorta forests of Crater Lake National Park. Growth
rates of P. contorta, and levels of infection and impact of dwarf
mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanu1r) on growth of P. contorta
individuals are compared among communities.
Vegetation description is based on...
