The foraminiferal population of Yaquina Bay was investigated
to attempt a correlation of seasonal changes in the hydrography with
observed changes in the faunal distribution patterns. The results
are based on data from two spatial surveys conducted in July 1966,
and late February and March, 1967.
The hydrography of Yaquina...
Complete larval histories, consisting of a prezoeal stage, two
zoeal stages and one megalopal stage,are described for four species
of porcellanid anomurans. Larvae of three species were reared
from embryos through the megalopa stage in the laboratory. Larvae
of the fourth species were collected from the plankton and reared to...
During the six-month period of July through December, 1966,
a study of animals inhabiting laminarian holdfasts in Yaquina Bay,
Oregon, was carried out to determine what animals live in this habitat
and to gain some idea of the factors which influence their presence
and distribution. This study deals with yet...
On account of the abundance of the antique tussock
moth, and the ease with which material for study can be
secured in the vicinity of Corvallis, an investigation
of this insect was thought to be a fitting subject for
my graduation thesis. The work was begun in the spring
of...
Experimental data on the structural phase changes in zirconia are summarized. The computational techniques of molecular dynamics are reviewed and equations of motion are formulated which allow the study of phase changes as a function of temperature and pressure. The molecular dynamics program NPT which was written for this purpose...
Research in digital computers takes two paths: one uses the
computer as a tool to reach certain objectives; on the other, the computer
itself is the object of research. The NEBULA computer was
built with the latter in mind. The system design and logical design
are described here in detail....
Smart weapons promise to provide leap ahead capability with regard to accuracy and engagement range for medium and large caliber projectiles. One of the most critical components of a smart weapon system is its sensor suite that provides position, orientation, and velocity information as the projectile flies down range so...
