The selection of planting stock is a critical step in the reforestation
planning process. In addition to selecting the proper seed source
and species for the planting site, consideration must be made for the
type of planting stock which will be used. The survival and growth
potential of various classes...
Phytoplankton dynamics in Auke Bay, Alaska, were studied during
summer, 1969. Nitrate, chlorophyll a, particulate organic carbon,
phytoplankton and zooplankton species composition and hydrographic
and meteorological data were collected and analyzed.
Nitrate input into Auke Bay through freshwater runoff was negligible.
A bloom of Thalassiosira aestivalis formed the spring bloom...
The combination of increased training tempo due to military base closures and the reduction in military budgets have placed a severe burden on the infrastructure at many military installations and emphasized the need for an integrated facility management support system. This research involved linking existing facility, environmental, and operational data...
The immediate objective of this project is to establish a vineyard at the Southern Oregon Experiment Station in which previously untested wine grape cultivars will be evaluated. The ultimate goal is to characterize the production and wine qualitypotential of these cultivars in southern Oregon.
Climatic conditions in southern Oregon are unique among the wine-growing regions of the Pacific Northwest. Previous experience has shown that one strength of this region lies in the production of warm-climate cultivars which may not mature properly in other regions of Oregon. The current selection of such cultivars with known...
As indicated by the title, this thesis generalizes the Main Inertia
Theorem of Ostrowski and Schneider [8]. The first three results
concern the formation of a polynomial function f(A, A*, H) so that
the existence of an hermitian H for which f(A, A*, H) is positive
definite is a necessary...
A major simplification in bioeconomic models is that the model parameters
and functional forms are assumed known. In fisheries, the failure to capture
model uncertainty can easily cause overconfidence in model outputs and
resultant policy recommendations. Although fisheries modelers regularly
assume rather complete knowledge of the systems they study, in...
