Analysis of satellite ocean color, sea surface temperature, and sea ice cover data reveals consistent patterns between biological production, iron availability, and physical forcings in the Southern Ocean. The consistency of these patterns, in conjunction with information on physical conditions during the last glacial maximum (LGM), enables estimates of export...
Nutrients and microorganisms in manure can cause water quality problems. When you collect, handle, and land spread manure, this material can get into surface or groundwater supplies. The level of risk depends on many factors.
The temperature of the water in our streams and rivers is very important to the well-being of fish and other aquatic organisms. Most species need cool water to survive. As a result, Oregon’s water-quality standards include maximum stream temperature criteria. Streams that are monitored and found to exceed these temperatures...
Swine require supplemental heat
during the first few weeks of life.
Baby pigs demand the most heat
of any young domestic livestock. They
have an immediate need for temperatures
of about 95°F for the first 3 days, then
dropping to 85°F over a 3-week period.
During May and September of 1978, cruises were made in Monterey Bay
to study the relationship of ocean color spectra measured by aircraft and
in situ optical, hydrographic, and chemical parameters. These cruises were
carried out by the Oregon State University optical oceanography group and
by the Naval Postgraduate School...

Parallel languages rarely specify parallel I/O constructs, and existing commercial systems provide the programmer with a low-level I/O interface. We present design principles for integrating I/O into languages and show how these principles are applied to a virtual-processor-oriented language. We show how machine-independent modes are used to support both high...

This report examines environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers the...
