The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
Recommendations are provided in this watershed analysis to identify actions and management decisions on the part of BLM that might improve watershed health in the Trask River watershed.
How and where the ocean tides dissipate
their energy are longstanding questions with both
oceanographic and astronomical implications. Two
decades ago, Doake suggested that flexing of Antarctic
ice shelves by the underlying ocean tide is an important
energy sink, perhaps accounting for over half the global
dissipation rate. Observational constraints...
Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
The increased US domestic production of surimi from the US Pacific Coast after 1977 is a major consequence of the US's extended fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles. It is only one consequence, however, whose nature can best be understood by examining the surimi market in the context of what...
The principal objective of the study was first to
present a historical discussion of foreign and domestic
trade in canned salmon in the United States and Canada, and
secondly, to estimate the ex-vessel derived demand characteristics
for red and pink salmon facing the fishermen in both
countries. Secondary sources were...
