Concluding Remarks: Fourth Bird Control Seminar, William B. Jackson
Concluding Remarks: Fourth Bird Control Seminar, William B. Jackson
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
I had three basic ideas. One: that we were talking about bird management, not bird control. This is a recurrent theme through all four of our conferences I think. We're saying secondly that spot control, taking care of this problem at this place with this specific technique, is important and we need more tools; but we need to look at the larger aspect of the environment, the population, and its relationship—an ecological approach. Thirdly, communication, whether it be with the general public or specific interest groups or among this group of professionals involved in bird management, is important; and we …

Presession Seminar On Blackbird Problems, Tom Stockdale
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
I'd like to open with a very brief discussion, then call on some selected people with whom I've corresponded earlier, and ask if they will discuss a particular aspect of this total bird problem. I've asked that they keep their comments from three to five minutes. Trying to break the total problem down into its several facets we came up with six arbitrary subtopics. For want of better terms I've called these: population census techniques, chemical repellants, sonic repellants, wetting agents, lethal control techni-ques, and damage evaluation. Your particular problem in your area may be slightly different than in other …

Economic Analysis Of Alternative Flood Control Measures, L. Douglas James, Thomas M. Rachford, James Ray Villines, Clyde R. Dempsey, James Norris Cline, Carlos Fix Miller
KWRRI Research Reports
Within the last few years, the growing realization that an effective flood control program must include non-structural measures (land use management and flood proofing) has resulted in Presidential Executive Order 11296 requiring Federal agencies to seek the optimum combination of structural and non-structural measures for flood control. The requirement has created a dilemma. No methodology is available for systematic evaluation of alternative combinations of structural and non-structural measures. Prospective procedures are too time consuming to be feasible under current financial and manpower limitations.
The only way out is to perform much of the planning process by digital computer. With this …

The Effect Of Oak Leaves On The Leaching Of Trace Metals From Sand, Thomas Elton Goodwin
The Effect Of Oak Leaves On The Leaching Of Trace Metals From Sand, Thomas Elton Goodwin
Honors Theses
Sand is fairly rich in some common trace metals, notably manganese and iron. However, these metals for the most part are in a state which renders them insoluble in water. It is thought that the presence of organic matter (principally leaves) in the water enhances the dissolution of some of these trace metals into the aqueous solution.
This enhancement of dissolution is generally thought to come about in three main ways: (1) The organic matter present lowers the oxygen content of the water, and the metals are reduced into a soluble form, (2) The organic material, some of which is …

Urban Geology—A Need And A Challenge, William J. Wayne
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
Urban land uses are rapidly converting open land into intensively used land. Generally, in planning those uses, a comprehensive study has included everything except an evaluation of the land in three dimensions. Geologists are eminently well equipped to supply the missing data, but they must also be aware of the needs of the urban community and the kinds of information needed by planners if they are to write reports usable by planners. Urban and environmental geology is a newly expanding field in the use of geologic data to help solve some urban problems in the planning stage. It is likely …

SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER originated in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and in parts of Western Europe.
Therefore it is not surprising that it grows well in the agricultural districts of Western Australia, for these regions have a typically Mediterranean climate with cool wet winters and hot dry summers.

Planning Flood Control Measures By Digital Computer, James Norris Cline, L. Douglas James
KWRRI Research Reports
The purpose of this study was to develop adequate guidelines whereby those interested in flood control planning would be able to apply a pair of digital computer programs known as the University of Kentucky Flood Control Planning Programs to ease the computational burden of evaluating specific flood control situations. Program II determines the economically optimum combination of channel improvement, land use restriction, and flood proofing for flood damage abatement. Program III also incorporates reservoir storage into the planning process. The Programs are not intended to provide a finished design but rather to select the optimum combination of flood control measures …
Problems Of Pollution: Benefits, Risks And Regulations, Richard E. Pogue, Dean E. Abrahamson
Problems Of Pollution: Benefits, Risks And Regulations, Richard E. Pogue, Dean E. Abrahamson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The growing concern of the scientific community and informed segments of the public about the proliferation of untested nuclear power plants demands further evaluation of their environmental impact before irrevocable decisions are mode. This paper considers the problem of low-level radioactive wastes controllable at the source. A brief background is given of the governmental agencies concerned with radiation monitoring and protection. The underlying philosophy behind radiation protection and the guidelines for putting this philosophy into practice are considered. The risk implicit in these guidelines is assessed in terms of the expected increased incidence of specific injuries to human populations.
Biological Aspects Of Heat Pollution, Theodore Olson
Biological Aspects Of Heat Pollution, Theodore Olson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The importance of temperature as an environmental factor has long been recognized by the ecologist, and its special impact upon the aquatic ecosystem has been of interest to aquatic biologists since they first began to observe interactions between living things and the physical environment. Interest in water temperatures as an environmental factor has recently become more widespread; and one aspect of the phenomenon, namely "thermal pollution," has attracted special attention.
Discharge Of Radioactive And Thermal Wastes, Richard E. Pogue, Dean E. Abrahamson
Discharge Of Radioactive And Thermal Wastes, Richard E. Pogue, Dean E. Abrahamson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
A combination of several economic factors, together with growing concern about air pollution associated with conventional, fossil-fuel electric generating facilities, hos contributed to the increase in size and number of nuclear-powered plants. Although these nuclear plants are "clean" from the standpoint of conventional air pollutants, they must dispose of thermal and radioactive wastes. This paper outlines the sources and quantities of these wastes, based on technical data for the boiling-water reactor proposed for Monticello, Minnesota.

Coleambally Irrigation Area: Herds, Crops, Fruit, Lydia Belthuis
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Coleambally, a new irrigation unit, to the south of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in Australia, has come into operation since 1960. It is the first land to receive water from the large Snowy Mountain power and water storage development in southeastern New South Wales. This district of some 139,000 acres now produces rice, wheat, hay, vegetables, fat lambs and wool. When all Snowy Mountain structures are completed and reservoirs filled, the irrigation area will be more than tripled in size.

Distribution And Mortality Of Saskatchewan-Banded White-Fronted Geese, Harvey W. Miller, Alex Dzubin, John T. Sweet
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications
At its annual spring meeting in 1959 the Technical Committee of the Central Flyway Council recognized a decreased population of the white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons). The recorded harvest in Canada and the United States had exceeded the estimated wintering population in some years. After summarizing records for the Central and Mississippi Flyways the Committee found them inadequate for management and to help fill this void, recommended banding on local concentration areas including Saskatchewan.

Wheat In Development Programmes For New Esperance Farmers, R J. Doyle, G. D. Oliver
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the December, 1967, issue of the Journal of Agriculture, we reported on five development budgets for the Esperance region.
The aim of the exercise was to find out if a new settler concentrating on sheep, with $20,000 available for development after acquisition of land, could make a reasonable living for himself and his family while developing his farm.
