THE EFFECTS OF INCREASED VISUAL INFORMATION ON COGNITIVE WORKLOAD
IN A HELICOPTER SIMULATOR
This paper reviews some of the distributional features of vertically migrating micronekton off Oregon; describes a new, conducting-cable, midwater-trawl system using an eight-net, opening-closing cod-end unit; and gives some preliminary results on trawl catches relative to sound-scattering layers. A variable complex of organisms, including euphausiids, a sergestid shrimp, and mesopelagic...

The nonagricultural lands of the world are being called upon today to satisfy tremendous
demands from society at all levels of economic development. Until recently, costs of management
of many of these lands were too high to warrant appreciable management investment for
the relatively low yields. Society is beginning to...
These are the proceedings of the third short course in the management of young Douglas-fir and western hemlock conducted by the School of Forestry, Oregon State University, June 15-18, 1970.
The course included one day of lectures and discussion on the campus of Oregon State University, two all-day field trips...
The progress report that follows includes research results ranging
from unproved ideas to scientific papers published during the tenure of
this contract. The end of the contract year finds several facets of our
work in various states of preparation, therefore the reader is cautioned
that all except the published papers...
Production of dry particles made of titanium dioxide powder and black liquor is
the first step in a newly proposed black liquor treatment process (Frederick et. al., 1992).
This work investigates the granulation processes in a fluidized bed granulator of titanium
dioxide and black liquor. Experiments are performed in a...
Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...
Development of wave and offshore wind-based marine renewable energy is anticipated on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off Oregon and much of the Pacific Northwest in the coming decade. Multiple issues related to environmental considerations and information needs remain for these emerging industries. The Oregon Marine Renewable Energy Environmental Science...
A symposium presented before a joint meeting of the
American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists
and the Western Society of Naturalists at Stanford University
on June 29, 1939, and published as a special issue
of the Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin through the cooperation
of the Fish Commission of the State of...
The specific activity of ⁶⁵Zn (nanocuries ⁶⁵Zn/g total Zn)
was determined in various organs of the common coastal mussel,
Mytilus californianus Conrad, collected from six locations along
the Pacific Coast. These organs included the gills, mantle, foot,
reproductive organs, adductor muscle, and viscera. After ashing
and dissolving with nitric acid...
With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...
Floods are the most frequent and damaging of all types of natural disasters and annually affect the lives of millions all over the globe. However, researchers seem to have overlooked the fact that floods do not recognize national boundaries. Therefore, the phenomena of shared, or transboundary floods occurring in international...
This annotated bibliography contains 392 published and unpublished
references that pertain to the natural resources in the Lake Washington
watershed, with particular emphasis on the aquatic environment. All
references are indexed by keywords.
In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...
This volume results from an experiment in data retrieval. During the initial stage of the Coniferous Forest Biome the authors were asked to provide access to the literature on mammals as it pertained to the interests of the Biome investigation. One constraint was that the total number of entries should...
Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...
This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...
This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...

The following report presents a summary of the work conducted between
1 March 1973 and 31 December 1973 as proposed in our research contract "The
Development of Methods for Studying Physical and Biological Processes in
the Nearshore Zone on the Pacific Coast of the United States," supported by
the Eugene...
The Coniferous Forest Biome was initially funded in 1970 by the National
Science Foundation as a large-scale, interdisciplinary, interinstitutional
research program to study coniferous forest and associated aquatic ecosystems.
It was initiated as one of the Integrated Research Programs in
the Ecosystem Analysis Section of the U.S./International Biological
Program (US/IBP)....
The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...
This publication is an inventory of printed and audio-visual material on marine resources that is available from the six western universities participating in the Pacific Sea Grant Advisory Program.
