Small, single-point load cells were used to measure force exerted by the first leaf of three hard red cultivars (Farnum, Finley, and Norwest 553) as it emerged from a deep planting depth in a small containerized volume of soil. Coleoptile diameter was determined using a 0 to 25 mm, ratchet-stop...

Five nutritional aspects of 'Valencia' orange production in Agadir, Morocco
during 1989-1991 were evaluated: 1) the effect of N and K on yield and fruit
quality, 2) leaf sampling time and diagnostic approaches to optimize mineral
nutrition, 3) mass and mineral partitioning within individual trees, 4) K-Rb
relationships, and 5)...
The two literary touchstones of Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Willa Cather examined in this thesis anchored a larger discussion of the discourse about gender and sexuality during the First and Second Waves of feminism in America. "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Gilman deconstructed the notion of "femininity" manifested at the turn...
The thesis examines the applicability of a two-dimensional flow acceleration model to describe a terrain-induced flow perturbation as measured at Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. The geometry of Yaquina Head together with the upstream wind values were used in estimating hilltop winds. These estimates compare well with the...
Standard larval Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) rearing systems can be described as either static or continuous flow. While rearing oyster larvae in static cultures can be a low-cost and simple method, static systems require significant husbandry effort, floorspace and can produce highly variable results due to environmental variance among cultures....
Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is the most abundant
groundfish species off the California, Oregon and Washington Coasts.
The fish are mainly used as a raw material for the production of surimi.
However, it is not economically wise to depend only on one product.
There is a need to diversify the...
