The fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) is a compact (15 cm diameter) two-chamber
MICROMEGAS TPC designed to make precision cross-section measurements of neutron-induced fission.
The actinide targets are placed on the central cathode and irradiated with a neutron beam that passes
axially through the TPC inducing fission in the target....
In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs
were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van
Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait.
The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated
into 282 taxa, including 108 species...
This research solves the problem of connecting a Macintosh to a Unix machine and presenting the Macintosh Desktop to Unix. Unix Files can be viewed. copied. renamed and opened in the same manner as Macintosh files. Unix programs and shell commands can be defined and attached to Macintosh menus and...
The semi-arid regions of the Pacific Northwest are
characterized by a high degree of annual temperature and
precipitation variation. As a result of this climatic
variation, dryland nitrogen fertilizer trials on fallow-
,wheat rotations typically demonstrate a variable response.
Wheat growers in the area must not only cope with this...
Millions of hectares of Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) rangeland have been invaded by medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L] Nevski), an exotic annual grass that degrades wildlife habitat, reduces forage production, and decreases biodiversity. Revegetation of medusahead-invaded sagebrush plant communities is necessary to restore ecosystem...
It has recently been proposed that the cost of rehabilitating medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski)-invaded
rangelands may be reduced by concurrently seeding desired vegetation and applying the preemergent herbicide imazapic.
However, the efficacy of this ‘‘single-entry’’ approach has been inconsistent, and it has not been compared to the multiple-entry
approach...

Over recent decades, the EU aquaculture sector has been implementing actions towards the minimization of waste as a strategy for increasing the circular attributes of the management system. In this context, it is relevant to develop methodologies to quantify and assess the circularity that will ultimately be achieved by new...
Key Takeaway: Understanding this process and factors that influence compliance decisions can help support the development of effective regulations. Importance of consistent observer coverage. Compliance varied by violation choice. Importance of port-level campaigns.
Accurate estimates of soil nitrogen (N) mineralization rate and timing are needed for refining N management practices. This paper describes a buried bag method that has been successfully included within agronomic field trials in the Pacific Northwest, USA. We have found this method to be technically simple and reproducible, and...
