To determine productivity of fish, we will require an estimate of relative abundance that can be expanded later into estimates of biomass. Our work has shown that much of the fish production in Lake Washington is in the form of nonsalmonid and nongame species, such as peamouth and northern squawfish....
Studies of vertical as well as horizontal distributions of fishes often require the use of gill nets hung vertically from the surface to the bottom. By using gill nets in this fashion it is possible to sample the entire water column as a continuous variable.
The small S₁ ocean tide is caused primarily by diurnal atmospheric pressure loading. Its excitation is therefore unlike any other diurnal tide; in particular, pressure loading is maximum near the equator where the diurnal gravitational potential is zero. The global character of the S₁ tide is here determined by numerical...
This thesis examines a range of generic influences in William Shakespeare's Richard II. By exploring the play's references to conflicting interpretations of history from different generic perspectives, I hope to advance a more nuanced reading of the play's dynamic staging of history. In Chapter One, I suggest that Richard II...
This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...
During his lifetime C. S. Lewis chose to speak to Christians in plain and simple language that they could understand. Lewis taught and defended truths that he felt were discernible through reason. Morality, free will, and the divinity of Jesus Christ were fundamental to his core beliefs and teachings. His...
The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been well documented for centuries, but little clinical work has been done to alleviate it. Physician and neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran began researching this condition nearly two decades ago, and has discovered a promising alternative treatment: mirror-box therapy. This therapy is not yet...
Hypermediation, as described by Jay Bolter and Richard Grusin in their book Remediation, is a style of writing, recording, presenting, etc. that “makes us aware of the medium or media and (in sometimes subtle and sometimes obvious ways) reminds us of our desire for immediacy” (34). This mode of production...
Within The Lamplighter, a novel written in 1854, Maria
Susanna Cummins defines a version of the sentimental novel
that significantly differs from the prescriptive analysis
male critics have offered for the genre. This thesis
argues that feminist theory and recent rhetorical theory
have caused a critical paradigm shift that has...
This thesis discusses the African American authors Richard Wright and James Baldwin, and their views regarding how literature should be written. These views are examined as laid out in a selection of each author‟s essays, as well as through an analysis of the characters Bigger Thomas and Rufus Scott in...
The inhibition of S-aden.osylmethionine: Δ²⁴-sterol methyltransferase
(EC 2.1.1.41) activity by endogenous cellular components has
been studied in vitro. The principal inhibitors were Na⁺ and K⁺; Cs⁺,
NH₄⁺ and Li⁺ were also shown to inhibit the reaction. The inhibition
by potassium cation has been studied, and we have found that energy...
How and where the ocean tides dissipate
their energy are longstanding questions with both
oceanographic and astronomical implications. Two
decades ago, Doake suggested that flexing of Antarctic
ice shelves by the underlying ocean tide is an important
energy sink, perhaps accounting for over half the global
dissipation rate. Observational constraints...
The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
Recommendations are provided in this watershed analysis to identify actions and management decisions on the part of BLM that might improve watershed health in the Trask River watershed.
Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
The increased US domestic production of surimi from the US Pacific Coast after 1977 is a major consequence of the US's extended fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles. It is only one consequence, however, whose nature can best be understood by examining the surimi market in the context of what...
The principal objective of the study was first to
present a historical discussion of foreign and domestic
trade in canned salmon in the United States and Canada, and
secondly, to estimate the ex-vessel derived demand characteristics
for red and pink salmon facing the fishermen in both
countries. Secondary sources were...
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the salmon
demand of Japanese households. The specific goals are to illuminate
the substitutional relationship between salmon and other foods and to
examine seasonal and regional differences in salmon demand.
To analyze substitutional relationships and seasonal
differences, monthly data on consumption...
The purpose of this study is to comprehend food demand
structure and its changes under rapid economic development
theoretically and statistically. The recently developed Far
East Asian countries, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan were chosen
to obtain implications for the food demand patterns in the
future industrialized countries around the world....
This study is an economic analysis of enrollment demand for
graduate education at Oregon State University as well as in the United
States. For the analysis of Oregon State University data on new
graduate enrollment, data were obtained for 27 academic departments
with 10 observations per department. The most important...
The primary purpose of the study was to identify the demand
for processed salmon from the West Coast. The basic approach in
the demand analysis was to identify those variables that determine
the supply and demand for processed salmon. An econometric model
was established containing the supply and demand equations...
New types of exchange arrangements are becoming
increasingly popular for a wide range of goods traded
internationally. Several types of countertrade
arrangements have been identified, ranging from pure
barter to more elaborate schemes where only a portion of
the trade is "paid for" in goods, including bilateral
trading agreements with...
Three related topics have been explored in this thesis. Those three topics deal
with the pricing problems both in the market for access rights to fish and in the market
for seafood. The purpose of this study is to contribute some insights into the global
picture of fishery management and...
The fundamental objective of this analysis was to isolate and
identify the factors governing the demand for domestically produced
rainbow trout in a representative west coast market, and assess the
impact on that demand, if any, of the introduction of pansize salmon.
The approach taken in this market demand study...
There is considerable evidence to support the
hypothesis that seafood, poultry and meat are close
substitutes in consumer demand. Thus the relationships
among prices are important in determining consumption
patterns among these protein sources. In addition, there
are at least two kinds of outlets in which seafood, poultry
and meat...
The effects of exposure to suspended silt, kaolin and fuller's
earth on growth and condition of Pacific oysters, 16 months of age,
were studied. The exposure apparatus maintained a continuous flow
of turbid water through chambers containing test oysters. Additional
studies measured the filtration rates of oysters exposed to suspended...
The ex-vessel coho salmon market has been paid scant attention
in the study of the salmon resources. This study is an attempt to
advance an understanding of the variations of ex-vessel prices and
landings during the coho season as well as between the various coastal
ports where the fish is...
This study consisted of determining some of the conditions for
culture of young English sole (Parophrys vetulus Girard) in the laboratory.
Rearing of the larvae to the juvenile stage was attempted
unsuccessfully; techniques used and problems encountered during culture
are discussed. Growth of juveniles was studied at combinations of
temperatures...
Benthic samples were collected during the summer, winter and
spring seasons from upper Yaquina Estuary, a region used by Georgia-
Pacific Corporation for log dumping and storage. Samples came from
an active log dump and storage areas as well as areas not associated
with log handling activity. The samples were...
The general objective of this study is to analyze the production
and the consumption of food in Korea for the years 1955 through 1969
and to project them for the years 1970 through 1980. This study has
the following purposes;
(1) To examine the trend in food production and yield....
The passing of the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution has given to individual states the authority to regulate the sale, distribution and taxation of domestically produced wines, and made the wine trade potentially significant as a means of augmenting state revenues. In the state of Oregon, table wines...
The basic objective of this thesis was to estimate the
economic effects of yield grade standards for carcass beef
on the various market sectors of the Canadian beef industry.
