Oxygen is often the rate-limiting factor in aerobic in situ bioremediation. This paper investigates the degree to which air or oxygen gas can be emplaced into the pore space of saturated porous media and provide a significant mass of oxygen. Column experiments were performed to test three emplacement methods: direct...
Naturally occurring assemblies, such as DNA and proteins, utilize intermolecular forces (i.e H-bonding and van der Waals) to assemble. Utilizing these electrostatic interactions has only just started in the past five decades to be a tool used in synthetic chemistry in what is known as supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry has...
Export economy has been interrupted in shrimp/prawn, the second largest earning source of Bangladesh due to detection of Nitrofuran in export ed prawns to the EU countries. Around 100 consignments of frozen prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were rejected at the EU borders between 2005 and 2009. Bangladesh exported shrimp and fish...
The morphology and ecological importance of habitats associated with the margin of third-order stream channels in the Oregon Cascades were studied in streams in three different riparian types: 450-year-old conifers, 40-year-old alder, and an open, herbaceous-dominated clearcut. Margins, backwaters, and side channels in streams create important habitat for fry of...
The focus of this study was junior-level
mathematics students' perception of proof and its
relationship to achievement. The following
problems were investigated:
1) nature of perception of proof of
undergraduate mathematics students who have
enrolled in Advanced Calculus;
2) relationship between students' perception
of selected aspects of proof and their...
This study was conducted to assess the economic consequences gained from disease-affected extensive shrimp farming by three major farm ownerships: individual, group and outside respectively. Key data for cost and returns were collected using a questionnaire survey between June and August 2002 from southwest Bangladesh. Profitability of operations was affected...
Green-tree retention is being implemented on state and
federal lands in Oregon. Silvicultural prescriptions with
tree and snag retention are thought to mimic natural
disturbance patterns in the Pacific Northwest more closely
than traditional silvicultural practices, which reduce
structural complexity. The effects of green-tree retention
on native bird species in...
The linear stability of a nearly time-periodic, nonlinear, coastal upwelling–downwelling circulation, over alongshore-uniform topography, driven by a time-periodic wind stress is investigated using numerical methods. The near-periodic alongshore-uniform basic flow is obtained by forcing a primitive equation numerical model of coastal ocean circulation with periodic wind stress. Disturbance growth on...
Oregon State University swine herd records of 456
litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were
analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in
performance of a Composite population to parental
Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in
six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat
thickness, loin eye...
