An intensive chemical investigation, that includes the
determinations of salinity, oxygen, nutrients, pH, alkalinity, and
total carbon dioxide of the Columbia River plume off the Oregon
coast in July 1967 shows the following unique features:
1. Along the axis of the river plume both the salinity minimum and
temperature maximum...
In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal
heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless,
this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water.
Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the
water volume transport necessary to remove this...
The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the
analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic
measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile
an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary
to design, construct, and calibrate a...
Herbicides were tested for the selective control of bentgrass in
Kentucky bluegrass turf under three levels of competition. Best control
in zero competition was obtained with a winter treatment of
bromacil at two pounds per acre. Under circumferential and direct
competition, best control was obtained with a summer and fall...
Resistance training is widely prescribed for rehabilitation of injuries and as a method to improve athletic performance. It is accepted that resistance training increases the maximal force production of whole muscle and it has been suggested that the velocity of shortening can increase as well. However, little is known about...
Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical
and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution
pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments,
(2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic
variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with
respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...
The objective of this research is to shed light on the phenomenon of independent volunteer traveling. It represents a form of tourism in which travelers independently organize their own volunteer efforts and typically provide assistance to local people in return for room and board. Travelers operate outside the confines of...
Hare barley (Hordeum murinum ssp. leporinum) is a cool season annual grass that invades pastures and range areas around the world. A documented weed management issue in several Oregon counties, hare barley may infest several thousand acres in western Oregon. This study was conducted to investigate the biology and develop...
In 1976, cultural resource technicians for the Rogue River National Forest located a prehistoric archaeological site, 35JA85, while performing a survey for the proposed J. Herbert Stone Nursery. The site, situated next to Jackson Creek in the Bear Creek Valley southwestern Oregon, is approximately three miles northwest of Medford, and...
