It is established folklore in numerical analysis, for solution
of a square system of linear equations by Gauss elimination, that the
standard method of choice of pivot elements is to search the entire
suppressed matrix for the element largest in absolute value. However,
it was felt by the author, that...
The detection and antigenic nature of the causative Corynebacterium
of bacterial kidney disease and chemotherapy of this disease
in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were examined.
Each of 207 yearling coho salmon collected from a population
undergoing a severe epizootic of bacterial kidney disease were examined
for the presence of...
Unfertilized ova from spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) were examined for the presence of classical salmonid
inmmunoglobulin. Immunodiffusion techniques in which rabbit anti-salmonid
immunoglobulin was reacted against an ova homogenate
and rabbit anti-ova homogenate was reacted against immune chinook
serum failed to detect classical-type antibodies within these eggs.
A lectin...
The western Nearctic species of the genus Phytocoris Fallen were
taxonomically revised. Over 15,000 specimens were examined.
Information concerning host plant associations and distributions was
compiled and summarized for use by future researchers. External
morphological features and characters of the male genitalia were used
to distinguish species. The genital tubercles...
The shallow water benthic habitat of the SW Beaufort Sea is frequently
gouged by the keels of ice pressure ridges. This natural physical
disturbance was hypothesized to be an important factor affecting the
structure of the benthic community. Smith-McIntyre grab samples were
taken from three discrete gouge axes and from...
Measurements of tidal currents on the central Oregon shelf are available from several sources, including recent high frequency (HF) coastal radar and Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) deployments, and historical current moorings. In this paper we use a generalized inverse (GI) approach to compare these data to, and then assimilate them...

Altimetric data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON mission will be used for studies of global ocean circulation and marine geophysics. However, it is first necessary to remove the ocean tides, which are aliased in the raw data. The tides are constrained by two distinct types of information: the hydrodynamic equations which the...
