Seven methods for delineating flood plains were evaluated. The
methods are classified : (1) Geomorphic Technique; (2) Soils Technique;
(3) Botanical Technique; (4) Hydrologic Technique; (5) Hydrologic-
Hydraulic Technique; (6) Historical Technique; and (7) "Combination
Method". All of the methods, except the Botanical Technique
and the Hydrologic-Hydraulic Technique, were compared...
Managing Microdochium patch on intensively manicured annual bluegrass putting greens is a challenge for turfgrass professionals in cool-humid climates similar to the Pacific Northwest. Fungicides are the predominant means to mitigate damage caused by this fungal pathogen, however pesticide restrictions are making it even more challenging to suppress Microdochium patch....
The Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976
took effect on March 1, 1977. By this Act the United
States extended its management over fisheries to 200
nautical miles from shore. Extended fishery jurisdiction
was expected to promote industry development and expand
the contribution of the fishing industry to the...
The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. A key function of the pathway is to regulate the subcellular distribution and activity of Yorkie in Drosophila or Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in mammals. The dysregulation of the...
Detailed surveys of several segments of the Peru Trench show
that the region between 6° to 10⁰ S is an area of recent deformation.
Seismic reflection records across the axis of the trench show faulting,
uplift, and tilting of the sedimentary fill and the acoustic basement.
Uplift of the acoustic...
The early stages of secondary succession of the
McDonald and Paul Dunn State Forests, Corvallis, Oregon,
were grouped into three stages; herb, herb-shrub, and
shrub, based on vegetation types. Flowers of herbaceous
species and residual shrubs dominated in the early years
after clear-cutting. Woody plants became increasing
abundant in the...
The Purpose of the Study
The central purpose of this study was to determine if certain
personality characteristics differ between community college persisters
and those who drop out of school. The following 12 a priori
hypotheses involving six Adjective Check List personality scales were
tested:
1. Male persisters would have...
Gaseous transport through soil in the presence of soil
microorganisms has been investigated. More recently, modeling of
gaseous transport in the unsaturated zone has been investigated.
However, the problem of mathematical model of oxygen and carbon
dioxide transport through soil, as affected by the climatic
conditions, the transport of soil...
