Gravity observations were made with the LaCoste-Romberg underwater
gravity meter during July and August 1962 at 149 stations
in an area 10 by 40 miles (44°10' to 44°50'N latitude and 124°
07' to 124°20'W longitude) off the north-central Oregon coast
from Heceta Head to Depoe Bay. The primary purpose of...
Professional software developers do not test code adequately, even though testing tools are widely available. Until developers realize the deficiencies in their tests, inadequate testing of software seems likely to remain a major problem. To support developers writing tests, industry and researchers have proposed systems that visualize “testedness” for end-user...
Programmers spend a substantial fraction of their debugging time by navigating
through source code, yet little is known about how programmers navigate. With the
continuing growth in size and complexity of software, this fraction of time is likely to
increase, which presents challenges to those seeking both to understand and...
This study examined the potentially stressful
effects of tagging juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags by measuring
short-term (<120-h) changes in plasma concentrations of
cortisol and hepatic heat shock protein 70 (hsp70). In a
laboratory experiment, plasma cortisol levels were measured
in fish before they...
The stable isotopic signature of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ¹³CDIC) in the northeast Pacific Ocean is lower in near-surface waters by 1.1‰ relative to values predicted from global oceanic trends of δ¹³CDIC versus nutrients. A combination of anthropogenic carbon uptake from the atmosphere and thermodynamic, air-sea gas exchange processes in different...
Here we report results from an extensive survey of
dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the Arctic Ocean, which
was achieved by means of a high-resolution, in situ UV fluorometer
deployed on a nuclear submarine. Based on a strong
linear correlation observed between fluorescence (320 nm excitation,
420 nm emission) and...
A study of orientation and homing in brush rabbits, Sylvilagus
bachmani ubericolor (Miller), was conducted on the E. E. Wilson
Game Management Area 7 miles north of Corvallis, Oregon, between
July 1967 and April 1969. Sixty-seven individual rabbits were fitted
with radio-transmitters and returned to the field. Home ranges were...
