Long-term (>years) bathymetric data sets collected in six multiple near-shore sandbar systems were analyzed with complex empirical orthogonal function analysis to quantify intersite differences and similarities in cyclic offshore progressive bar behavior. The observations came from a 37-year annually sampled data set of four regions along the Dutch coast (spanning...
The temporal and spatial variability of crescentic sandbars is analyzed with hourly
long-term (months) video observations collected at four barred sites and are qualitatively
compared to the temporal and spatial variability predicted by hypotheses underpinning
existing approaches and models for crescentic bar formation (edge-wave template model,
linear stability analysis, and...
An attempt has been made to interbreed populations of Acartia clausi from Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Yaquina Bay, Oregon. Individuals from these populations are morphologically similar, but differ somewhat in size. Cultures from both sources produced many successive generations in the laboratory, but interbreeding with production of viable offspring did...
Today, considering the sustainability of the nuclear technology in the energy mix policy of developing and developed countries, the international community starts the development of new advanced reactor designs. In this framework, Oregon State University (OSU) has constructed, a system level test facility to examine natural circulation phenomena of importance...
The Oregon Forest Products Laboratory was asked in July 1953 by the Oregon Alder and Maple Company, Willamina, to work on the problem of dark stain which developed at sticker crossings in air-drying red alder (Alnus rubra, Bong.) during the summer months.
Previous experience at the Oregon Alder and Maple...
