Chum salmon from different stocks were bred together in two experiments. Three stocks contributed gametes to one experiment, two stocks to another. Sibling groups of eggs, alevins, and fry were maintained in a common environment. Variability of development rates, rearing performance, susceptibility to disease, and behavioral traits was partitioned into...
Growth and reproductive patterns of the common lanternfish,
Stenobrachius leucopsarus, are described by length frequency
analysis, otolith analysis and examination of ovaries.
Length frequency analysis, employing the probability paper
method of analysis of polymodal distributions, of three and one-half
years of monthly midwater trawl collections off Oregon showed that
fish...
El ano 2006 representa en dos sentidos una fecha critica para la cuenca del Rio Columbia y para los esfuerzos de recuperacion del salmon y la trucha arcoiris en la region Pacifico Noroeste: el 25 aniversario de la creacion del Consejo para la Conservacion y Poder del Noroeste y el...
An outbreak of the Douglas-fir tussock moth caused severe defoliation
in northeastern Oregon during the period from 1972 to 1974.
Aerial application of DOT was used to control the outbreak in 1974.
Much of the infected area has been logged to salvage the dead and
damaged timber.
The purpose of...
Aligning Real-Time Networks (RTNs) with the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is crucial to ensure accuracy, consistency, interoperability, and long-term data integrity for geospatial applications. However, the effectiveness of different alignment methods as well as the need for monitoring approaches to maintain alignment consistency with the NSRS have not yet...
The detection of biomolecules is critical for clinical diagnostics but requires specialty labor and high cost. The use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) for bioassays is simpler and cheaper but has low sensitivity. Improved immobilization of antibodies onto cellulose is demonstrated through surface functionalization with APTES and glutaraldehyde. The...
Component based software technologies are viewed as essential for creating the software systems of the future. However, the use of externally provided component has serious drawbacks for a wide range of software engineering activities often because of a lack of information about the components. One such drawback involves validation of...
This monograph presents a proof grammar for a formal language containing property symbols of every finite type. The proof grammar is thus applicable to any finite level higher-order logic.
The unique features of this system are: first, its mode of presentation as a recursive discourse grammar rigorously constructed from the...
Towns in the U.S. west are increasing in population and becoming more desirable places to live. This increase in population and tourism has led to increased pressure on public lands. State trust land is a unique land type amongst the matrix of public lands in Montana. It has a mandate...
