  • The Bachman Cave (10-OE0565) point typology, Owyhee County, southwestern Idaho

    Creator:
    Chavarria, Juan C.
    Abstract:
    In the past, archaeological investigations have recovered material culture that have often been stored as museum property without a focused analysis or written report of the results. This study focuses on one such assemblage ofchipped stone projectile points from the Bachman Cave locality of southwestern Idaho that has been stored...

  • Coastal protected areas in Mexico : a management assessment

    Creator:
    Chavarria, Elena
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this study is to assess the Mexican experience in managing coastal natural areas. The assessment is based on the categories, uses, objectives, and political elements of Mexican protected coastal areas and governmental efforts to develop and manage these areas. Specific problems within each protected coastal area...

  • Activated carbon for improving diuron selectivity in beans

    Creator:
    Romero M., Carlos Eduardo
    Abstract:
    Activated carbon is effective in protecting beans from herbicide injury. In a field study, diuron [3-(3, 4- dichlorophenyl)- 1- 1- dimethyl urea], linuron [3- ( 3, 4- dichloropheny1)- 1- methoxy- 1- naethylurea], fluometuron [1, 1-dimethyl- 3-(α , α, α -trifluoro- m-toly1) urea], and metobromuron [3, (2- bromophenyI)- 1- 1- rnethoxy-...

  • A Homotopy Strategy for Accelerated Sampling

    Creator:
    Jensen, Andrew D.
    Abstract:
    Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods may be used to determine normalizations and moments of distributions. However, these methods may perform poorly when starting from distributions that have little overlap with the target. We develop a homotopy based iterative process of incremental importance sampling to normalize distributions when observations can only...

  • Information Theoretical Analysis of Self-Similar Trees

    Creator:
    Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
    Abstract:
    Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...

  • On the Dynamic Likelihood Approach to Data Assimilation for Stochastic Hyperbolic Geophysical Processes

    Creator:
    Foster, Dallas A.
    Abstract:
    Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...

  • Wetlands - San Juan County Best Available Science Synthesis, Chapter 2

    Creator:
    Adamus, Paul R. and Fralich, Richard
    Abstract:
    This document partially addresses the Wetlands component of San Juan County’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). Drawing from a foundation in best available science, it describes important functions performed by the County's wetlands, effects of various activities on those functions, and strategies for protecting wetland functions from impacting activities, with an...

    Creator:
    Adamus, Paul R. and Earth Design Consultants, Inc.
    Abstract:
    This document provides definitions and a general overview of streams and lakes of San Juan County (SJC) and then describes impacts to these water bodies and strategies for determining widths of buffers that protect their functions. It similarly provides definitions and a general overview of SJC upland (terrestrial) habitats, describes...

  • Byron, Don Juan, and catharsis

    Creator:
    Greene, Wanda S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to explain how Lord George Gordon Byron achieves catharsis through the writing of his truth in Don Juan. In the poem the narrator expresses Byron's innermost emotion while at the same time the protagonist, Juan, relates to readers on a more conscious level. The ability that Byron...
