The mass transfer of oxygen to water has been studied in a mixing pool with two plunging jets having a variable distance between
them. A closed system with recycle stream was used to reduce the
complexity of the mass transfer process in the system. An on-line
oxygen probe was used...
The geopotential anomalies and the average meridional geostrophic
flow off Newport, Oregon, were computed from the data taken
during twenty-one hydrographic cruises.
The annual average of geopotential anomaly was 1.31 dynamic
meters with a seasonal variation of the order of 14 dynamic centimeters.
Highest values of geopotential anomaly occurred in...
The El Salvador porphyry copper deposit in the Indio Muerto district of northern Chile has been geologically investigated for more than 60 years and provides one of the best bases for understanding similar environments of ore formation elsewhere in the world. Fourteen new zircon U/Pb isotopic ages obtained via in...
The photolysis of the aqueous thymine system has been investigated
at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm at room temperature. Products
of photolysis have been identified as hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxy-5-
hydroperoxy thymine and tentatively 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxy thymine.
These together with thymine loss, were determined quantitatively
under a variety of conditions....
THE PROBLEM. The problem was to study the recreation resource-
user and to determine attitudes, characteristics and relationships
between selected variables common to these users.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY. The purpose of the study was to
examine:
1) Who are the recreation resource-users of the Bend Ranger
District, Deschutes National...
Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...
Many aquatic habitats in coastal Oregon have been impacted by historic land use practices that led to losses of in-stream wood and associated degraded fish habitats. Many of these streams are now bordered by stands of dense second growth forests (30–80 years) that are incorporated into riparian buffer zones with...
The Geosat altimeter sea level observations in the tropical Pacific Ocean are used to evaluate the Performance of a linear wind-driven equatorial wave model. The question posed is the extent to which such a model can describe the observed sea level variations. The Kalman filter and optimal smoother are used...
This report presents biological baseline
information gathered during the research project,
"Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies on Youngs Bay." Youngs Bay is a shallow embayment
located on the south shore of the Columbia River,
near Astoria, Oregon. Nearby portions of the
Youngs River, Lewis and Clark River, Columbia
River, and...
This is the third study of farm labor the Agricultural Experiment Station has completed for the Oregon Strawberry Commission. The first was completed for the 1987 harvest season. The second was completed for the 1989 season. This report covers the 1990 harvest year. The strategy for this study has been...

We combine a scenario-based, standard-response optimization model with stochastic simulation to improve the efficiency of resource deployment for initial attack on wildland fires in three planning units in California. The optimization model minimizes the expected number of fires that do not receive a standard response-defined as the number of resources...
Raspberry latent virus (RpLV) is a newly characterized reovirus found in commercial raspberry fields in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Thus far, all members of the plant reoviruses are transmitted in a replicative, persistent manner by several species of leafhoppers or planthoppers. After several failed attempts to transmit RpLV using leafhoppers,...
