Research on mammalian pigmentation has ranged from basic
studies on biochemistry of melanin formation to more practical
studies involving effects of nutrition, environment and genetics on
hair color. In mink such studies have an added significance as fur
color is of considerable economic importance; however, research in
this area has...
Inclusion of substantial levels of raw-frozen Pacific hake
(Merluccius productus) in diets of ranch-raised mink (Mustela vison)
causes a large percentage of animals to develop an abnormal condition
termed "cotton fur" (CF), characterized by depressed body
weight, microcytic-hypochromic anemia and a failure of under-fur
pigmentation. Observations by several groups of...

This paper explores the language theories of Gary Snyder, an important modern environmental author whose early work was associated with the Beat movement of the early 1950's. I am particularly interested in Snyder's thoughts on how language relates to nature. I focus primarily on Snyder's prose in attempts to understand...
Neogene rocks of the Deschutes basin include the middle Miocene
Columbia River Basalt Group and Simtustus Formation, and late Miocene
to early Pliocene Deschutes Formation. Assignment of Prineville
chemical-type flows to the Grande Ronde Basalt of the Columbia River
Basalt Group is based upon correlation of these lavas from their...
Recent conflicts in America concerning the environment (the harvesting of old growth timber in the Pacific Northwest, or the proposed opening of public lands in southern Utah to mining interests, for instance) have precipitated a personal examination of "historical others" (Jensen 64), individuals that possess very different sensibilities from a...
In communications it is often desirable to recover a signal
hidden in noise. The techniques of correlation are often employed
for this purpose. Initially, the basic formula and properties of correlation
including an approximating formula are presented. Then the
description, design, and construction of a DC to 500 KHz electronic...
