The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the
water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS...
The Grants Pass Batholith of Cretaceous age has intruded the
Triassic Applegate Group and metasedimentary rocks of the Jurassic
Galice Formation in the Murphy area of Josephine County, southwest
Oregon. The Applegate Group, mafic volcanic and sedimentary rock,
has been partially (nonequilibrium) metamorphosed under greenschist
facies conditions. The batholith, a...

conductance (EC), pH, temperature, and HCO3 were
measured on 43 samples of well water and Applegate River
An extensive theory of symmetric error control coding has been developed in the last few decades. The recently developed VLSI circuits, ROM, and RAM memories have given an impetus to the extension of error control coding to include asymmetric and unidirectional types of error control. The maximal numbers of unidirectional...
Measuring the flow rate of water is the first step to good water management. All water right holders in the State of Oregon must be able to measure the flow rate of the water being diverted.

Water conservation in nursery systems is an ever-increasing focus, yet there is relatively little guidance for growers producing seedlings intended for restoration regarding how practices such as subirrigation influence plant growth in the nursery and after outplanting. Our study investigated red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum Pursh) seedling development and early field...
In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1
errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric
channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the
Z-channel can be derived from this...
Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound
effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good
quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to
deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested
in...
Atmospheric methane (CH₄) recorded in Antarctic ice cores represents the closest ice proxy available for Greenland temperature changes beyond times when Greenland climate records are available. The record over four climatic cycles from the Vostok ice core offers the opportunity to study the phase relationship between Greenland and Antarctic climate...
Balanced codes, in which each codeword contains equally many 1's and 0's, are useful in such applications as in optical transmission and optical recording. When balanced codes are used, the same number of 1's and 0's pass through the channel after the transmission of every word, so the channel is...
