A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards
A comparative study was undertaken to document more closely the effects of operational pesticide use on non-target avian species. Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) and American Robin (Turdus migratorius) nesting activity was monitored in three organic and three conventional orchards during two breeding seasons. Surveys were conducted to characterize the avian community within orchards...

Feasibility of using portable, noninvasive pipe flowmeters and time totalizers for determining water use Feasibility of using portable, noninvasive pipe flowmeters and time totalizers for determining water use
The feasibilityty of using noninvasive flowmeters for determining water use was investigated by attempting, and at some sites repeating, instantaneous pipe-flow measurements at 45 water-withdrawal sites by use of four portable noninvasive pipe flowmeters. The flowmeters measure flow in pipes; this flow is related to water use. Because actual water use can differ from the total flow in...

Tide- and wind-driven flushing of Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Tide- and wind-driven flushing of Boston Harbor, Massachusetts
The flushing of Boston Harbor, a shallow, tidally dominated embayment with little fresh water input, is investigated using a depth-averaged model. The modeled tidal currents exhibit strong spatial variability and ebb/flood asymmetry due to complex topography and coastline geometry and were verified by shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements. At the inlets to the harbor...
