Installing Photographic Rangeland Monitoring Sites In Grassland Environments, Andrew Mclaughlin
Agriculture reports
Photographic monitoring offers pastoralists an inexpensive management tool that can help to better understand how varying management practices affect the rangeland. Using a monitoring system also helps take the guesswork out of knowing what changes to vegetation and soils have occurred over time.
Chlorination Products Of Glycylphenylalanine In Model Solutions And A Wastewater, Daniel J. Keefe
Chlorination Products Of Glycylphenylalanine In Model Solutions And A Wastewater, Daniel J. Keefe
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Model solutions of the dipeptide glycylphenylalanine were chlorinated to five different chlorine-to-amino nitrogen (Cl/N) mole ratios and analyzed after 30 min by high performance liquid chromatography. At mole ratios of ≤ 1, N-chloroglycylphenylalanine (I) appeared to be the only major product. At a mole ratio ≤ 2, N, N-dichloroglycylphenylalanine (II) was the only product. Compound II decomposes in model solutions (t1/2= 6.4 hr) at pH 7.0 to form a compound tentatively identified as an H-chloroaldimine (III). Compound III in turn decomposes (t1/2= 36 hr) in model solutions at pH 7. o to (IV) . From 13 …

Interim Report On Data And Methods For Assessment Of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxin Risks To Aquatic Life And Associated Wildlife, Steven P. Bradbury, Philip M. Cook, Russell J. Erickson, Robert L. Spehar, Gerald T. Ankney
Steven P. Bradbury
In April, 1991 the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that the Agency would conduct a scientific reassessment of the risk of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (hereafter referred to as TCDD), and similar chemicals, to human health and the environment. Since 1985, EPA has classified TCDD, which it considers the most potent known animal carcinogen, as a probable human carcinogen. Sources of TCDD in the environment were subsequently regulated on the basis of animal cancer rates extrapolated to doses associated with human exposures. Recently, consensus has developed that the toxic effects of TCDD appear to be mediated by its binding …

Development Of "No Discharge" Zones In Virginia Tidal Waters Phase I, Center For Coastal Resources Management, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
Development Of "No Discharge" Zones In Virginia Tidal Waters Phase I, Center For Coastal Resources Management, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
Reports
he Commonwealth of Virginia currently has no regulations in effect to restrict the discharge of waste from vessels in state waters. This poses concern as Virginia continues its efforts to improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. The degradation of critical environmental habitat is accelerated by the introduction of waste, which in turn threatens the ecological, aesthetic, and commercial values of Virginia's waters. The purpose of this project is two-fold. First a comprehensive review of regulatory statutes in states enforcing "no discharge" zones (NDZ) was conducted. This product is delivered as a separate document. Second, a large-scale inventory of environmentally …

Strength Of Bentonite Water-Well Annulus Seals In Confined Aquifers, Fred Ogden
Strength Of Bentonite Water-Well Annulus Seals In Confined Aquifers, Fred Ogden
Fred L. Ogden
The advantages of bentonite clay for sealing applications are well known. Bentonites have extremely low permeability, do not affect formation water chemistry, and have the ability to swell and deform in response to subsurface changes. The major limitation on the applicability of bentonite for water well annulus sealing is strength. Strength tests conducted in a physical model of a water well identified the expected magnitude of shear strength for several commercially available bentonite well-sealing products. The dependence of bentonite strength in the annulus of a water well on both setting time and borehole geometry is discussed. Force balance calculations for …
Applications Of Gaming Techniques To Coastal Zone Problems, Robert Adam Drews
Applications Of Gaming Techniques To Coastal Zone Problems, Robert Adam Drews
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
The boundary between sea and land is an area which presents enormous management challenges. It is an area of fragile ecology, dense and growing population, multiple competing demands for resource use, a multitude of regulatory agencies, and far from complete scientific understanding. Given these difficulties, planning for coastal zone management frequently suffers from incomplete data, lack of consensus among users, and lack of support from government authorities. This paper proposes gaming as a tool for assisting in the information gathering, education, consensus building, and communications elements of planning. This is achieved by developing a planning game which is designed to …
The Origin And Evolution Of The Southern Snake Range Decollement, East Central Nevada, Allen J. Mcgrew
The Origin And Evolution Of The Southern Snake Range Decollement, East Central Nevada, Allen J. Mcgrew
Geology Faculty Publications
Regional and local stratigraphic, metamorphic, and structural constraints permit reconstruction of the southern Snake Range extensional deformational system in east central Nevada. The dominant structure of the range, the southern Snake Range décollement (SSRD), operated during Oligocene and Miocene extensional deformation to exhume a footwall of multiply deformed metasedimentary and plutonic rocks. Intrusion of three plutons (∼160 Ma, 79.1 ± 0.5 Ma, and 36 ± 1 Ma, respectively) and development of two cleavages preceded the onset of extensional deformation. Plastic deformation of lower plate metasedimentary rocks accompanied the early phases of regional extension and produced bedding-parallel grain shape foliations and …

Problem Analysis For The Vegetation Diversity Project, David A. Pyke, Michael M. Borman, U.S. Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Management of the majority of public rangeland in the Great Basin and Columbia-Snake River Plateau falls under the authority of the Bureau of Land Management. The flora of this land ranges from highly diverse native plant communities to deteriorated lands dominated by exotic annuals. Approximately nine percent of the BLM’s 78 million acres of public land in this region is degraded to such a degree that changes in land management alone will not result in significant improvement. The BLM intends to restore native plant communities on these deteriorated lands, but current revegetation techniques used to establish introduced perennial grasses are …

The overall goal of this project is to asses the feasibility of using clay to filter water contaminated with organic contaminants. The clays that were used were provided by the Union Carbide Corporation and the Industrial Mineral Ventures (IMV), a division of Floridin company. The organic contaminants that this project concentrated on were, naphthalene, 1,4-dioxane, and phenol. The feasibility studies were done by batch isotherm studies. The protocol for the batch studies were the same as the ones used previously for granular activated carbon. This project looked at a total of six Union Carbide clays and five IMV Floridin clays. …
A Thermal Desorption Modulator For Continuous Monitoring Of Volatile Organic Compounds, Yun Chen
A Thermal Desorption Modulator For Continuous Monitoring Of Volatile Organic Compounds, Yun Chen
Theses
A thermal desorption modulator is made from a short segment of thin tubing containing an adsorbent or a chromatographic stationary phase. A carrier gas containing the analyte is introduced into the analytical column through the modulator which acts as a sample trap. Rapid electrical heating of the modulator releases a "concentration pulse" of the analyte and this serves as an injection similar to that from an injection valve. The modulator also acts as a sample preconcentrator and can be used to make repetitive injections every few seconds. In this research, the mechanism of thermal desorption modulator was studied and was …

Nebraska Water Center: Faculty Publications
The municipal wellfield for Lincoln, Nebraska, consists of 44 wells located adjacent to the Platte River near Ashland, Nebraska. The herbicide atrazine was monitored in the river and two transects of monitoring wells. The amount of atrazine transported down the Platte River in 1989, 1990, and 1991 was shown to increase each year. Induced recharge from the Platte River results in movement of atrazine from the river into the aquifer. A 21-day lag time was determined for the movement of atrazine from the river to a transect of monitoring wells 10 feet west of the bank. The role that colloids …
Sheep And Wool Industries Need To Improve Their Performance, Rob Kelly, Tim Marshall
Sheep And Wool Industries Need To Improve Their Performance, Rob Kelly, Tim Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Today in Western Australia, sheep are run at slightly higher stocking rates, are achieving greater lambing percentages (up JO per cent) and higher wool cuts per animal ( up 0. 6 kg greasy) than in the 1960s. When all components of production are considered, the productivity of sheep fanns has increased by 2. 7 per cent per year over the past 35 years.
The challenge of the next decade is to achieve substantially greater rates of improvement than for past years if the sheep and wool industries are to maintain their significant place in Western Australian agriculture.

Land Use Patterns In Relation To Lake Water Quality In The Salmon Lake Watershed, Problems In Environmental Science Course (Biology 493), Colby College, Colby College
Colby College Watershed Study: Salmon Lake and McGrath Pond (2009, 1993)
Salmon Lake has a history of algal blooms which have decreased the recreational and aesthetic value of the lake (Nichols et al. 1984). As early as the 1920’s, Salmon Lake was reported to have poor water quality. Algal blooms were reported throughout the 1970’s. Numerous complaints led to a study in 1975 by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) and another in 1984 by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the cause of the accelerated algal growth in the ponds. Both studies concluded that the primary cause of these algal blooms was high concentrations of phosphorus in the water. …
