The nature of the interaction between juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), and fall chinook salmon, 0. tshawytscha (Walbaum), was studied in Sixes River, Oregon. Seining, snorkeling, and tagging were used to determine distribution and patterns of growth of these two species in the stream environment. Experiments conducted in flowing-water...
Concerns about the possible reciprocal differences resulting from
systematic crossings of winter and spring wheat gene pools prompted
this investigation. If traits can be improved by simply reversing the
direction of a cross, then identification of the best female parent in
a cross would be helpful for breeding programs.

Stein's Pillar area, central Oregon / Aaron C. Waters -- Seismic reflection studies of buried channels off the Columbia River / Joseph W. Berg, Jr., John M. King, and Paul R. Carlson.
Stein's method initially introduced in 1970 by C. Stein is a powerful technique for bounding the distance between the laws of two real-valued random variables. Stein's method has been used to prove distributional convergence to many standard probability distributions such as normal, multivariate normal, Poisson and Brownian motion approximation. In...
