Cooperative Forestry and Pest Management conducted a pilot control project in central Montana to determine the effectiveness of two commercial formulations of BaaiUus th,uringiensis Berliner applied at 8 billiori international units (BIU) per acre (19.8 BIU per hectare) when used under operational conditions against the western spruce budworm, Choristoneu:roa ocaidentalis...
Trees in a Douglas-fir stand infested with western spruce budworm were treated with a systemic insecticide to protect cone and seed production at three locations in Montana during 1983. Treatments applied were (1) acephate as an Acecap implant, (2) acephate as an Inject-A-Cide injection, and (3) control. Potential cone-bearing trees...
Pacific Northwest prairies have become significantly reduced in extent, and in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, less than one percent of native upland prairies remain. Many species have been impacted by this extreme loss of habitat, including Castilleja levisecta (golden paintbrush), a threatened hemiparasitic forb species endemic to the Pacific...
This paper presents a study of the resonant transfer of energy
between filters with the viewpoint of applying this technique to
communication systems.
A summary of the existing filter designs
for this application is made.
This summary shows that a requirement
common to all these filters is that the impulse...
Various aspects of the energetic response to handling stress in juvenile
coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were examined. Fish were subjected to
four different handling stressors in a Blazka-style respirometer. Stressed fish
had rates of oxygen consumption that were higher than controls. The
magnitude of the increase ranged from 139 to...
