The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011 made it apparent that releases of fission products to marine environments is a very real possibility. Additional data on the movement of material through marine environments can be used by radioecology personnel to assist with both ecosystem protection as well as environmental cleanup...
With each generation of technology, computers become even more capable of rendering objects with an ever increasing number of polygons. As a result, the desire to add more details to a 3D model increases as well. Among the many tools provided by computer graphics software that an artist has at...
Over-winter growth of juvenile salmonids may be linked to ocean survival and thus species persistence. Diet, growth, and prey available to juvenile coho, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were examined from December 2004 to April 2005 in four tributaries of the West Fork Smith River (WFSR), Oregon. Juvenile coho growth rate and condition...
The application of the widely used Penrnan-Monteith evapotranspiration equation to hybrid poplar trees is impossible without a valid surface resistance. The increase in applications of drip-irrigated hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production, as well as bioremediation, constitutes a need for estimating the evapotranspiration of these trees....
Purpose: This investigation was conducted to determine
whether or not teachers and students perceive the environmental press
of a secondary school differently, and whether or not teacher groups
and student groups vary in their perceptions.
Conceptual Framework: "Press" i s a construct which expresses
the assumption of elements in the...
The regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis in yeast has been
studied. The system has been examined for the presence of an end-product inhibition. Both anaerobically and aerobically grown cells
have been examined for this effect. A feedback inhibition of sterol
synthesis has been shown, but it appears to be a secondary...
Community colleges have long been thought of as the "people's
college." For some thirty years, Oregonians have looked to their 16 community
colleges as the less expensive, more accessible route to a college education.
Oregon's community colleges have traditionally had the broad mission of
providing comprehensive educational opportunities to all...
