The research presented in this thesis is concerned
with the
characterization of two salmonid cell lines, CSE 119 derived
from
embryos of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and
STE 137 derived
from embryos of steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri).
The rates of
glucose utilization and lactic acid production during the most
active...
Unifications among agricultural cooperatives are becoming increasingly commonplace. This process is prompted by the desire to achieve economies of size, to reduce operating costs, to achieve product diversification, to improve the quality of offered services, to eliminate overlapping memberships, and to achieve marketing and/or bargaining power. Historical data indicate that...

The various elements of physical geography are commonly
entertained as factors retarding the mineral industries of Alaska. It
has been shown by numerous writers that the mineral industries of
Alaska are, indeed, in a difficult situation. Only the petroleum industry
and sand and gravel for construction are of much significance...
Reforesting harvested lands in southwestern Oregon has been
difficult because of low rainfall, high evaporative demand, and
competitive understory vegetation. Herbicides have been a preferred
method to control competing vegetation but herbicide use on federal
lands was curtailed in 1984. As a result, interest in livestock
grazing as a vegetation...
Variability is an important and widely studied topic across domains such as version control, software product lines, and metaprogramming. This dissertation presents an investigation into the process of systematically adding variability to data structures and programs, leading to guidelines for variational data structures and implications for programs that create, manipulate,...
The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...
Aromatic Nitro Compounds. The n-values for the reduction of
the isomers of nitrophenol and nitrobenzoic acid and for several
other nitro compounds are determined in dimethylsulfoxide by controlled
potential coulometry. A procedure is given in which one
mole of nitro compound may be determined with errors of less than
one...
With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...
Work occupies a considerable amount of time in most peoples’ lives and can be a source of great pleasure or a source of pain. To enhance peoples’ experience at work, we must first understand how to measure and improve the design of work. This research sought to do just that,...
