The difference between the temperature of the ocean at 4-cm and 2-m depth was continuously monitored during a cruise to the coastal transition zone off Point Arena, California (38°58′N, 123°45′W), during June 1987. The two temperatures were coincident most of the time but diverged during one nearshore leg of the...
For each of the 5 needs in Maslow’s motivational hierarchy (physiological, safety–security, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization), measures of satisfaction were gathered from the German Socio-Economic Panel to assess their correlations with each other in order to test the validity of the structure of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. While other studies...
Tax credit auctions are a new way to fund government programs, dating back to just 2011. In place of funding new programs with direct appropriations from the general fund, tax credit auctions are a means to fund programs by monetizing tax credits. We performed a case study of all of...
The thermobaric nonlinearity in the equation of state for seawater density—namely, the dependence of thermal expansibility on pressure—coupled with spatial variation of the oceanic temperature–salinity (θ–s) relation generates a nonlinear behavior in the buoyant force that can counter the linear dispersion of baroclinic Rossby waves and produce solitary waves. A...
We document the age and extent of late Quaternary glaciofluvial processes in Garwood Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using mapping, stratigraphy, geochronology, and geochemical analysis of sedimentary and ice deposits. Geomorphic and stratigraphic evidence indicates damming of the valley at its Ross Sea outlet by the expanded Ross Sea ice...
Seasonal reducing conditions play an important role in the cycling of nutrients and soil pore water chemical constituents in the Willamette Valley. Long periods of soil saturation lead microorganisms utilizing organic matter as their carbon source to find alternative electron acceptors other than oxygen. Once oxygen has been depleted microorganisms...
We consider long planetary waves of annual period linearized about a steady, wind-driven subtropical (ST) gyre circulation. The circulation divides the gyre into an eastern zone (EZ) where only the surface layer is in steady motion and a western zone (WZ) where both the surface and the middle layer are...
An exploratory study of 48-hour Pacific oyster embryo
bioassays employing spent sulfite liquor (SSL) in test
concentrations ranging from 10 to 45 ppm was made at two
incubation temperatures, 20° and 24° C. Fourteen separate
bioassays, each employing embryos originating from three to
four different parentages, were conducted at the...
