This report discusses data collected in the Yaquina Estuary from July 1976 through December 1977 at 6-8 week intervals. Also summarized are recording salinometer, runoff and precipitation data from September 1967 through July 1968. Station names and locations for the 76-77 field data are shown in Figure 1. Figure 2...
"After a brief description of the setting of the Yaquina Estuary, estuarine dynamics and classification, and estuarine chemistry are presented. Then, temperature-salinity relations are reviewed using the Rattray-Officer model in simulating variable distributions reported by Callaway and Specht (1982) and Callaway (1991). Finally, the numerical models DynHyd and WASP are...
Researchers from the Pacific Coastal Ecology Branch, Environmental Protection Agency in Newport presented results of multi-year cruises as will other time-series data.
High-speed police pursuits occur daily across the United States. On average, one person dies per day as the result of a police pursuit. In certain contexts, it might be acceptable to society for a police officer to engage in a high-speed pursuit. The ends could justify the means. For example,...
Various methods of estimating the fault probabilities based on defect data of random defects seen in integrated circuit manufacturing are examined. Estimates of fault probabilities based on defect data are less costly than those based on critical area analysis and are potentially more reliable because they are based on actual...
Before developing a plan or deciding to add facilities to increase tourist potential, ask the question, "Is it worth it? Will tourism do for this community what we want done?''
The cost-benefit technique balances costs against benefits to show the estimated net effects of a plan. The study may be...
In analyzing tourism, we want to know how many visitors will be coming to visit and how much they will spend, so that we can evaluate:
• Whether existing facilities can handle the visitors expected.
• Whether it will be profitable to make preparations for increased tourists.
It is important...
The money tourists spend in a community is the benefit which people probably recognize most readily. Other benefits might include improved recreation facilities, expanded cultural and social opportunities, and pride in one's community, but additional dollars provide the usual appeal for tourism development. These dollars benefit sectors throughout the community,...
Impact studies that examine the economic effects within a community of development projects such as a new hotel are usually confined to a fiscal analysis of local government costs and revenues. But increasing emphasis on the total environment-social, biological, and business-calls for an appraisal of broader impacts within the community...
