Gonatus fabricii (Lichtenstein, 1818), G. magister Berry,
1913, G. anonychus Pearcy and Voss, 1963, and Gonatopsis borealis
Sasaki, 1923 (Gonatidae) are squid forming a major portion of the
cephalopod fauna found off the Oregon coast. A study was undertaken
to determine the morphological differences among the four species
of squid....
The influence of protein adjuncts and variations in pH on the
cook-cool loss, moisture content, and texture of squid gels was
investigated. Break force (P [greater than or equal to] .025), deformation to break (P [greater than or equal to] .01)
and cook-cool loss (P [greater than or equal to]...
Ship turnaround time at a marine containerport is an important
measure of the port's efficiency and attractiveness. Both the speed
and quality of load planning affect the length of turnaround time
considerably. Past attempts at computerizing the load planning
function have been unsatisfactory and have not reflected the port's
objective...
Interannual variability of Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) occurrence in the northern California Current System is largely unknown. In Oregon, the distribution of this versatile predator and what is influencing their range expansion from Mexico is poorly understood due to the recent nature of their "invasion" and a lack of monitoring....

An experimental study was made of the average and turbulent
wind characteristics of the flow over a model of a coastal headland.
The scale of the model was 300:1, corresponding to a prototype size
of 500 m.
The data for validation of the model study was obtained from
instruments mounted...
Wildfire prevention operations like forest thinning and forest fuel removal result in large volumes of woody biomass available for utilization. In 2007 alone, the US federal government spent nearly $2 billion to fight forest fires on federal lands. Annually, the USDA Forest Service spends $1 billion to thin young trees...
