  • The effects of warm and cold water scuba finning on cardiorespiratory responses and energy expenditure

    Creator:
    Shake, Caron Lee Louise
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to determine cardiorespiratory and energy expenditure responses elicited by recreational divers while finning at a submaximal intensity (35% max) in cold (18°C) and warm (29°C) water with and without wet suits. Male divers (15) volunteered to participate in five experimental procedures. A maximal graded exercise tethered...

  • An evaluation of two methods for determinations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in water

    Creator:
    Schaffer, Randy Lee
    Abstract:
    Research has been completed that evaluates two methods for the extraction of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAH) from water. The two methods compared were EPA Method 610, a liquid-liquid extraction method, and a method involving PNAH adsorption on commercially available short C₁₈ bonded phase columns, Sep-Paks, in series with glass microfiber...

  • Amphibian communities and physical characteristics of intermittent streams in old-growth and young forest stands in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Lee, Yu Man
    Abstract:
    Intermittent, headwater streams recently have been recognized as important components of forest ecosystems and have been provided increased protection by the Northwest Forest Plan. However, few studies have examined their distribution, dynamics, and ecological roles, such as habitat for wildlife. My goal was to provide additional information on the ecology...
