The Willamette Silt is a surficial geologic unit composed of successive Missoula Flood Deposits that underlies 3100 km2 (1200 mil) of arable land in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The Willamette Silt protects the underlying regionally important Willamette
Aquifer from agricultural contamination while acting as a semi-confining unit and a...
Wave energy has the potential to power large and small factions of economies around the world alike. Current methods for determining the amount of wave energy resource available to wave energy converter (WEC) devices entail capturing the look of the sea state at large by presenting characteristic wave heights, periods,...
The objectives and characteristics of university biotechnology research, including its applicability to such industries as agriculture and food processing, arise from formal and informal linkages among university scientists, public and private-nonprofit funding sources, and industry. In the present study I develop, specify, and estimate a model of the supply and...
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential erosion
impacts associated with ship movements in confined waters. The flow
associated with a ship passage can be separated accordingly: (1) the
propeller wake, (2) flow about the hull, and (3) associated waves.
Each of these areas has been analyzed...
The present study was designed to examine the relationship
between expressed attitudes toward child-rearing, and children's
social behavior in a preschool setting. More specifically, the study
was concerned with the association of parental authoritarian, hostile-rejecting,
and democratic attitudes with the aggressive and cooperative
peer interactions of preschool children. Under investigation...
Larval transport and retention of two endangered suckers were studied in a highly
altered lacustrine/riverine complex. The endangered populations of Lost River sucker,
Deltistes luxatus, and shortnose sucker, Chasmistes brevirostris, in Upper Klamath Lake
(UKL), Oregon are the largest remnant populations of these suckers. Downstream of
UKL, the Keno Impoundment...
