Observations between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermostor
chain in the North Pacific. Despite the rapid vertical variation
of buoyancy frequency, spectra of isotherm displacements are in fair
agreement with other observations and with the Garrett-Munk model. The
spectra show evidence of a shoulder and...
Number of harbor seals, counted on 32 haul-out areas in Oregon, increased by 6 - 8.8 % per year from 1975 - 1983. Percent of seals in bays has increased an average 1.8%/year, from 47% in 1975 to 61% in 1983. Along the central Oregon coast, harbor seals were most...
A waveform-preserving, variable time-delay system capable of
several milliseconds delay is described in this thesis. These considerably
long delays are achieved by judicious use of the relatively
low sonic velocity of gases. Initial system design criteria specified
a time delay of ten milliseconds and a signal bandwidth of 0-10 KC....
The effects of changes in dosimetry conditions on the radiation
sensitivity of a constant biological population were determined.
The organism used for this study was the strain B of
Escherichia coli. The percentage survivals of these cells in an
aqueous solution were determined at the same total exposure with
different...
In the summers of 1973, 1974 and 1975, I investigated population
age structure and density, and behaviors relating to habitat
selection, predator avoidance and intraspecific interaction in a population
of northwestern salamanders in a lake in the Oregon Cascade
Mountains. The study was carried out by skin- and scuba-diving at...
The principal objective of this study was to identify
and investigate the underlying basis for variations in the
volumes of exports of U.S. winter pears during the 1947 to
1974 period. A number of factors thought to be of importance
in the determination of the volume of exports of a...
