The momentum transfer characteristics of liquid-liquid dispersions
were studied under conditions of turbulent flow in a cirular
conduit. Experiments were conducted to obtain drop size, friction
factors and velocity profiles for three organic phases dispersed in
water.
The test sections consisted of straight copper tubes 1-inch OD
and 0.830-inch ID....
The federal and state governments have many different roles to play in addressing the regional impacts of hurricanes. Ranging from hurricane prediction and preparedness to damage assessment and economic recovery, the role of the federal government is one of ensuring human safety and providing for the protection of private property....
Resource rents are an important indicator of the economic viability of the living marine resources. Rent dissipation is normally an indicator of a poorly managed, overfished stock of fish. Rent dissipation in the US Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery is more an indicator of the lack of management since recruitment...
Excess capacity results because fishermen do not have an incentive to conserve fish in-the-sea causing them to over-invest in the capital used to harvest fish as well as other production or factor inputs.1 Excess capacity like overcapitalization and overfishing is a symptom of our regulated, open access fishery management system....
These experiences working on regional and national problems for fisheries managers in NMFS have given me a perspective on the role of economics in fisheries management that I am going to share with you today. I would like to stress that this perspective is unique to me and does not...
Cable yarding of first thinning size material from plantations of Pinus radiata in South Eastern Australia 15 simuiated using a computer model. Production rates, expressed in cubic metres per hour and production cost, expressed in dollars per cubic metre were derived using the model to simulate cable yarding under set...
Microtus canicaudus Miller, the gray-tailed vole, was studied
in the field and laboratory in order to clarify aspects of the relationship
of this species to its habitat. All trapping and sampling was done
on permanent pasture land in the William L. Finley National Wildlife
Refuge 12 miles south of Corvallis,...
Blood, liver, kidney, femur, and ovaries were assayed
from female Wistar rats following oral administration of
uranyl nitrate. Three uranium concentrations were
studied for six time periods ranging from 4 hours to 240
hours following gavage. Uranium burdens of tissues were
determined by neutron activation and delayed fission
neutron counting...
