A simulation method using a hybrid computer is developed in
this dissertation to enhance the study of wind-driven ocean circulation.
The simulation is based on the mathematical model developed by
Ekman. Pure digital simulation is not economical due to excessive
computer time required for the solution of the partial differential...
Phosphate, silicate and nitrate concentrations in the sea off
the coast of Oregon were determined to study their seasonal distribution
patterns. The water samples were collected monthly along the
east-west hydrographic line off Newport, Oregon, from the shore to
165 miles (310 km) offshore. The samples were analyzed by both...
There is evidence that recent ecological changes in lakes and their watersheds can be detected from analysis of lake sediments. This study was initiated to correlate
changes in some sediment characteristics of four Oregon lakes with past cultural developments of the lakes and their watersheds. The lakes chosen for this...
The objective of this study was to compare the total collection
(in vivo), nylon bag, and in vitro digestibility techniques under
standardized conditions. Twin steers were used simultaneously to
measure the digestibility of five rations consisting of the following
ratios of alfalfa hay to steamed roller barley: 4:0 (I), 3:1...
The effects of different fallow moisture levels and tillage
systems on the amount of nitrate-nitrogen accumulation in the 0-30 cm
soil profile were studied.
Fallow moisture treatments simulating typical dry, normal and
wet precipitation cycles were established on trial plots.
Data were obtained for nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and
nitrogen mineralization...
Great Basin Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) productivity and nesting habitat utilization were studied on the Columbia River within the boundaries of the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge during the springs of 1974 and 1975.
Five islands, BL-1, BL-2, SD-1, SD-2, and Telegraph Island (TI), contained 88 percent of the nesting...
The development of new electronic devices and design procedures
applicable to ternary switching circuits suggests that it might be desirable
to use ternary arithmetic in direct digital control systems.
The advantages of decimal, binary, and ternary arithmetic in digital
computers are discussed and a set of rules for signed -digit...
Shoot apex senescence is defined as the collective progressive
and deteriorative processes which ultimately terminate the functional
life of the shoot apex. Senescence of shoot apices of Pisum sativum
L. 'Alaska' as measured by cessation of stem elongation was delayed
by removal of flowers and by treatment with gibberellin A₃...
