In the Pacific Northwest, several species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) are under extreme conservation measures due to low population levels. Although currently at healthy population levels, one species of interest is the black rockfish (S. melanops), which has been shown to utilize estuarine habitat during its early life history stages....

Records of 889 litters of three populations of swine farrowed
between 1962 and 1973 were analyzed by least squares procedures.
Estimates were obtained for the effects of age and inbreeding of dam,
inbreeding of litter, inbreeding of dam's dam and inbreeding of the
sire of the litter on litter size...
The experimental measurements of the decay heat from
the products of the thermal fission of U-235 have been compared
with the OSU-proposed decay heat standard. These experiments
are intended to verify the decay heat calculational
methods and nuclear data files. The comparisons have
included the previous experiments reviewed by Perry...
Natural stream systems contain a variety of flow geometries which contain flow separation, turbulent shear layers, and recirculation zones. This work focuses on streams with dead zones. Characterized by slower flow and recirculation, dead zones are naturally occurring cutouts in stream banks. These dead zones play an important role in...
This essay provides a snapshot of sustainability and acceptability of wave energy and eight other electricity-generating energy sources in Oregon. Since “sustainability” is an important point of view in decision-making, the paper is centered around the concept. Although there is no consensus on the definition of sustainability in the academic...
The purpose of this work was to develop a dynamic partial order model of II electrolyte solutions which avoids inconsistencies present in the Debye-1-Iuckel and 1n related theories. It is shown that our results are consistent with activity coefficient data in aqueous electrolyte solutions. The main features of our work...
This dissertation investigates by means of computer simulation the potential of a
Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel (BVIF) to store energy for an urban transit bus.
Replacing both a fixed-inertia flywheel (FIF) and a continuously variable transmission
(CVT), the Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel is capable of accelerating a vehicle
from rest to a...
