Regression equations applicable to biomass components of standsof western hemlock [Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.} were developedby destructive sampling of a thinned and an unthinned stand ofwestern hemlock near Seaside, Oregon. Equations predicted more live-branchbiomass and less dead-branch biomass per tree for the thinnedstand, but equations for biomass of foliage, twigs,...
The detection and mapping of large scale changes to forested landscapes is increasingly important in ecology and management. I used Landsat TM and MSS imagery to map forest cover in 1992 for a 4.2 million ha area of the interior of British Columbia with an overall classification accuracy of 79%....
To consider the regional scale effects of forest management requires complete and consistent data over large areas. We used Landsat Thematic Mapper and Multispectral Scanner (TM and MSS) imagery to map forest cover and detect major disturbances between 1975 and 1992 for a 4.2 x 106 ha area of interior...
The effects of five cytokinin antagonists on the growth
of cytokinin-autonomous lines of Phaseolus lunatus cv.
Kingston, Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Great Northern, and
Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38 callus tissues have been
compared. The antagonists tested included four N⁴-substituted 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines
bearing the following N⁴ side chains, 4-n-pentyl-
(ms²pnN⁴Prp), 4-n-hexyl- (ms²HxN⁴Prp),...
Sphaeromyxa maiyai sp. n. (Myxosporidea:Myxiidae) is described
from the gall bladder of the Pacific tomcod, Microgadus proximus
Girard, from Newport, Oregon. The plasmodial (=trophic, trophozoite)
stage is discoid averaging between 1 and 2 cm. The spore averages
27.6 x 5. 6μm with pyriform polar capsules averaging 9. 3 x 3....
The purpose of this study was to determine if occupants' satisfaction and problems with their houses differed by four categories of passive solar systems. The four categories were: 1) south facing window, 2) sunspace, 3) south facing window + sunspace, and 4) south facing window + sunspace + Trombe wall....
There are between one and two million
occurrences of head injuries in this country each
year causing an estimated 140,000 deaths. Fifty to
seventy thousand who survive are left with such
intellectual impairment as to preclude returning to a
normal life. The purpose of this study is to
investigate the...
