A comprehensive approach to nutrient management will help you ensure availability of optimum levels of nutrients for tree growth. Components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy include:
• Soil analysis before planting (useful in predicting the need for potassium, magnesium, or lime applications)
• Observations of annual shoot growth, leaf...
The report consists of notes of a conversation between Lowell D. Marriage of the Oregon Fish Commission and Jess Hayes, an oyster grower from Bay City, regarding Mr. Hayes' recollections of the history of Pacific oyster culture in Tillamook Bay. Mr. Hayes' account goes back to 1931 and gives estimated...
Fertilizing hops improves yield and quality by supplying the crop with ample nutrition in advance of demand. Producers must combine this goal with production costs and environmental stewardship. Fertilization should be based on yield and quality response, experience, and economics. Unfortunately, limited experimental data exist linking modern cultural practices, current...
LIDAR scanners can rapidly collect high resolution, cm-level accurate point clouds representing topography, suitable for change detection if scans are repeated over time. To perform meaningful volumetric change analyses, point clouds are commonly triangulated to produce continuous, digital terrain models (DTMs). However, DTM creation methods generally require a fixed look...
Over 54 million people report having disabilities in the United States. In addition, there are 40.3 million people 65 years and older living in America. As the population continues to live longer and problems with obesity continue to increase, the number of people with limited capabilities will escalate as well....
In this thesis, problems arising in pumping fluids
from the ground are treated. The mathematical theory is
derived for both the time dependent and independent cases.
A numerical method is developed to solve these problems.
Some particular examples are presented and computer plots
are drawn to illustrate the movement of...
