Perturbed Angular Correlation Spectroscopy (PAC) is a highly sensitive local probe technique well suited for studying defect characteristics of solids. This technique is applied to the problem of studying the solubilit ...

This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices o ...

Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objec ...

Windows Exploratory Testing (WET) is examined to determine whether testers working in pairs produce higher quality results, are more productive, or exhibit greater confidence and job satisfaction than testers working a ...

Plankton and surface sediment samples from the Gulf of California were analyzed to determine the present geographic distribution of silicoflagellate species in this area. Variations in the composition of the silicofla ...

The deglacial behavior of the sub-Arctic North Pacific is poorly constrained, with many published records suffering from limited age control due to extensive post- depositional biogenic carbonate dissolution. Potential a ...

This study illustrates geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental approaches to the investigation of an active margin coastal setting and provides examples of how information gleaned through examination of the stratigraph ...

In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions tha ...
