The relationship of temperature and salinity to protein synthesis
was determined for cells of Vibrio marinus, MP-1. Protein synthesis
was measured by the incorporation of radioactive proline into
hot trichloroacetic acid precipitable material. At all salinities protein
synthesis occurred at 15°C and 20°C but not at 25°C. The critical
temperature...

Humans have always been fascinated with whales; from prominent features in mythology, to stories of terrifying monsters on the high seas, to globalized utility, to symbolic wildness and radical environmentalism, to figures and statistics, how have human relationships with whales been understood throughout time? Because humans have a need to...
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...
DYNAMO and TOGA-COARE observations and reanalysis-based surface flux products are
used to test theories of atmosphere-ocean interaction that explain the Madden-Julian
Oscillation (MJO). Negative intraseasonal outgoing longwave radiation, indicating deep
convective clouds, is in phase with increased surface wind stress, decreased solar heating,
and increased surface turbulent heat flux—mostly evaporation—from...

Intensive observations were made of play behavior in the
young hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) from 14 to 54 days of age.
Behavior was recorded using movie film and a multi-channel event
recorder.
Play was first seen at 14 days of age. The amount of play
increased rapidly thereafter, remaining relatively high...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
