The intermittent or cyclic application of water to
furrows or borders, a method known as "surge flow irrigation",
can significantly improve the advance characteristics
of surface irrigation. Numerous field studies have
shown that the advance of furrows is considerably more
rapid when irrigated by surge flow than by the conventional,...
Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...
There are three recognized species of Siphateles from the Great Basin; S. alvordensis, S. boraxobius and the tui chub, S. bicolor. One species, S. boraxobius, is endangered and one population of tui chub at Hutton Spring is threatened. Despite several morphological and molecular studies, the taxonomy and relationships of tui...
The study comparatively analyzed salient components of the
counselor education process of training programs which are accredited
by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the
Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational
Programs (CACREP). The data of this study were obtained by a Likert
type survey...
Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their geographic range during the last century. They were once widespread throughout the Intermountain West, but lower annual productivity, likely caused by degradation and loss of suitable habitat, has greatly reduced their distribution and population densities. Habitat used for reproduction has been...
In particle induced desorption-ionization mass spectrometry the strength of an
analyte's signal under a given set of bombardment conditions is usually considered to
be representative of the analytes relative surface activity. This rationale is generally
used to explain differences in the technique's sensitivity between and within various
classes of compound....
