The problem of a fixed rectangular structure of unit width in a
train of simple harmonic normally-incident waves is modeled. The solution
allows for variable (1) length and draft of structure, (2) differing
depths in the three (fore, aft, and beneath the structure) distinct
regions, and (3) wave period. The...
The energy strategies of early development of the Pacific Oyster,
Crassostrea gigas, were examined. Changes in proteins, total carbohydrates,
free reducing sugars and total and neutral lipids were
determined for the unfertilized egg and larval stages through 13 days
post-settlement.
During early larval stages neutral lipid levels decreased and
provided...
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
Seasonal variations in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) leaf weight and nitrogen content were measured in Oregon's Coast and western Cascade Ranges. Current and older foliage from thinned and unthinned stands were sampled monthly from October, 1978 to September, 1979. Changes in leaf weight per unit area of foliage and...
Four brushfield reclamation methods were compared on a 28 hectare area supporting a dense overstory of red alder and a thick
understory of deciduous brush species. Tractor scarification, aerial application of 2, 4, 5-T and picloram followed by broadcast burning or tractor crushing, and aerial application of glyphosate were performed...
During 1963 and 1964 the Department of Oceanography, Oregon
State University, continued its program of shore sampling, of ocean
temperatures and salinities along the coast of the Pacific Northwest.
Observations for 1960, 1961, and 1962 are contained in three Data
Reports: No. 6 (Kujala and Wyatt, 1961), No. 8 (Oliphant,...
