Methods and utility of age determination of yellowtail rockfish
(Sebastes flavidus), canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger), and black
rockfish (Sebastes melanops) collected off Oregon during 1972 to
1975 are discussed. Structures compared on the basis of the reproducibility
of counts of annuli (consistency of readings) were the anal fin
pterygiophore, opercle,...
Significant figures have been a nebulous area in the physical sciences. The results of a literature survey, and of a questionaire distributed among the Chemistry Department faculty at Oregon State University, revealed widely differing interpretations regarding the proper role of significant figures. The present study has a two-fold nature. First...
Direct simulations are used to study turbulence and mixing in Holmboe waves. Previous results showing that mixing in Holmboe waves is comparable to that found in the better-known Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) billows are extended to cover a range of stratification levels. Mixing efficiency is discussed in detail, as are effective diffusivities...
When a stably stratified density interface is embedded in a region of strong velocity
shear, hydrodynamic instabilities result. Here we generalize the stratified shear layer
to allow an offset between the centre of the shear layer and the density interface. By
including this asymmetry, and keeping the density interface thin...
The leading edge of the ENE-trending Himalayan thrust front in Pakistan exhibits along-strike changes in deformational style, ranging from fault-bend to fault-propagation folds. Although the structural geometry is very gently deformed throughout the Salt Range, it becomes progressively more complex to the east as the leading edge of the emergent...
The subduction of the oceanic spreading center at the Chile Triple Junction is marked by a substantial thermal perturbation
and marked changes in the hydrogeologic and aqueous geochemical regimes in the overthrust plate. Ridge subduction substantially
changes the fluid chemistry in the wedge through variably hydrating the oceanic basement, accretionary...
A framework for understanding the synthesis and catalysis of metabolites and other biochemicals by proteins is crucial for unraveling the physiology of cells. To create such a framework for Zea mays L. subsp. mays (maize), we developed MaizeCyc, a metabolic network of enzyme catalysts, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, secondary...
