This paper will outline and discuss a number of specific
work assignments and fieldwork participation experienced during
the internship. Areas of exposure included sediment transport
analysis, zero-base budgeting, harbor line modification, channel
shoaling pattern analysis, dredging cost summaries, dredging
workshops and various fieldwork assignments along Oregon's Coast.
Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance.

Soil erosion by mass wasting is the major problem on forest
lands of the Pacific Northwest, The clay fractions of soils from a
large number of sites in Oregon's Western Cascades were characterized
in order to determine the relationships of various clay materials to

The lipid composition of an ammonium oxidizing bacterium isolated from Alaskan waters was examined at 2 different growth temperatures (5 and 25 °C). The composition was surprisingly simple with palmitic acid (C ₁₆:₀) and a monounsaturated isomer, palmitoleic acid, comprising about 90 % of the total lipids. There was a...
Potential changes in the tobacco program have prompted research of aquaculture crops in Kentucky. Using a dynamic, programming model, this paper evaluates two methods for producing pond-raised paddlefish to assess if either method is economically viable in Kentucky. Results indicate that a polyculture system with catfish is profitable.
