The capacity of a vibrating solid to convert its mechanical energy of vibration into heat is called internal friction. Its most common manifestation is the damping effect which causes loss in vibration amplitude of a freely vibrating solid. The damping is a result of the anelastic behaviour of materials. This...
"Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were tagged on the Umpqua and Smith rivers (Figure 1) to estimate the numbers of bass recruited to the commercial fishery and to gather information on migration habits of bass in these rivers. Small numbers of striped bass were tagged in the summers of 1971 and...
No-till pasture renovation can increase the quality and forage yield of underproductive pastures. Decreased erosion, lower costs, and less lost grazing time are advantages of no-till renovation compared to conventional renovation. Unwanted vegetation is first controlled with herbicides to decrease competition for introduced orchardgrass. Two field trials were conducted using...
The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...
An outbreak of Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk., began in 1969 in the North Fork Clearwater River drainage in northern Idaho. This infestation probably resulted from trees felled during clearing for the Dworshak Reservoir, from ice and snow breakage which occurred during the winter of 1968-69 in stands adjacent to...
