Fishery biologists have documented small home ranges, relative to available habitat, for many littoral freshwater fishes. Home ranges for pelagic species, such as white bassMorone chrysops, are generally not well described, yet are thought to be large. We studied white bass movement using acoustic telemetry in two irrigation reservoirs of the Republican River basin in south-western Nebraska. Ac...

spring back is responsible for inaccuracy of press formed sheet product. therefore, prediction of spring back is important for precise forming of stampings. to predict the amount of spring back many successful attempts have been made for simple cases such as single curved and u or v shape sheet metals. however, for more complex shapes containing double curves or double variable curved surfaces ...

The competitive advantage of purple and yellow nutsedge in low desert alfalfa production areas of Southern California and Arizona is due to a combination of factors. These include frequent harvest and irrigation, high incident solar radiation, high summer temperatures that are supraoptimal for alfalfa growth, and the presence of C4 photosynthesis and vegetative reproduction (e.g., tubers) in nu...
