supply systems under the purview of the Safe Drinking Water Act (PL 93-
523), and subsequently reduced state drinking water supervision program
funding by 90%. Since that time Oregon drinking water systems...
The goal of the study was to collect data on the ecology and
reproduction of Sophora leachiana in order to help explain the rarity
and restricted range of this species. There are 13 known populations
of S. leachiana, occurring in a 29 by 6.4 km area in the Siskiyou
Mountains...
A study was made to clarify the relationships of Mentzelia mollis
Peck and two poorly understood taxa of Mentzelia (Loasaceae) to the
other members of the genus, its sections, and its subsections, and
to describe the general ecology of each taxon.
Within the genus, the section Trachyphytum is characterized by...
In the past 100 years since the birth of fisheries oceanography, research on the early life history of fishes, particularly the larval stage, has been extensive, and much progress has been made in identifying the mechanisms by which factors such as feeding success, predation, or dispersal can influence larval survival....
A qualitative evaluation was made of the adherence between
borosilicate glass and the ceramics, steatite and alumina. Three
basic adherence studies were performed.
(1) A comparison between the x-ray diffraction patterns of
the ceramic and the fused glass-ceramic powder mixture was made
to determine if any new compounds were formed...
The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...
