John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system
reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in
the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a
conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with
scientific work is poorly understood.
A study of...

The seasonal concentration, turnover and mode of accumulation
of ³²P by the juvenile starry flounder in Alder Slough, a small eco-system in the Columbia River Estuary, was examined during 1969 and
1970.
Levels of ³²P and concentrations of total P were measured to
permit computation of specific activities (nCi³²P/g total...
Biological interrelationships between the ambrosia beetle
Xyleborus dispar (F.) (Coleoptera:Scolytidae) with its symbiotic
fungus, Ambrosiella hartigii Batra (Fungi Imperfecti) were investigated
in western Oregon.
Postdiapause adults of X. dispar collected in March through
June with rotary nets, and excised from overwintered and newly
attacked host material, produced a single generation...
Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-
6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-
glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and
the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate)
were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact
sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4
bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
The continental margin off southern Oregon, which includes the
shelf and slope from Cape Blanco to the Oregon-California border,
exhibits a distinctive marginal-plateau structural pattern which divides
the margin into the continental shelf, the upper continental slope and
its associated benches, and the lower continental slope. Lutum transport
and deposition...
The reaction of several primary amines with nitrite was investigated
with regard to the formation of N-nitrosamines. When reacted
in a low moisture system at 160°C with a 1:2 molar ratio of amine to
sodium nitrite, various primary amine hydrochloride salts were found
to give rise to heterocyclic nitrosamines. The...
