The decline of salmon fisheries along the Columbia River in Oregon has caused great concern among commercial and recreational fishermen. The paper 'Feeding of Predaceous Fishes on Out-Migrating Juvenile Salmonids in John Day Reservoir, Columbia River' (Trans. Amer. Fisheries Soc. (1991: 405-420) gave the accompanying data on 10 values for the data sets where y = maximum size of salmonids consumed by a northern squaw fish (the most abundant salmonid predator) and x = squawfish length, both in mm. Here is the computer software printout of the summary:

- Wire electrical-discharge machining (WEDM) is a process used to manufacture conductive hard metal components. It uses a continuously moving wire that serves as an electrode. Coating on the wire electrode allows for cooling of the wire electrode core and provides animproved cutting performance.
