The micropolar equations of motion are developed, in a very general form, for a
mixture of fluid and solid particles. The fluid is allowed to move differently than the solids,
and the solids are modeled as a micropolar ...
We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during
the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets.
We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California,
observed during the Coa ...
An experimental investigation of the thermohaline, diffusive
interface between convecting layers, with heat fluxes more similar to
natural fluxes than in previous studies, shows that the formula suggested
by Huppert ( ...
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Fleet Services manages a fleet that in 2008 included approximately 5,000 pieces of active equipment worth $340–$390 million. Every biennium, a fixed budget is available to repla ...
Siletz Bay is a drowned river valley filled with Holocene alluvial
and estuarine sediments and is separated from the ocean by a sand
spit 3.8 km in length. Since the area was settled by white man in the
1890's, the ba ...
Acoustic scanned holography is a method of lensless photography
which uses sound waves to construct the hologram and light waves to
reconstruct the image. The receiving transducer scans a plane area
containing the sou ...
The design of a switched capacitor successive approximation A/D converter
is discussed in this thesis. This design adopts a novel capacitance mismatch
error cancellation algorithm proposed in references [25, 27]. Detai ...
The asymmetric nature of bit errors in several practical applications provides
grounds for efficient error control techniques. The Z-channel model and
special classes of codes like asymmetric error detection codes and ...
Erythrocytic inclusion body syndrome (EIBS) was artificially
established in selected stocks of juvenile fall and spring chinook
salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), chum salmon (0. keta), coho
salmon (0. kisutch), Atlan ...
The inert gas ion bombardment of solid surfaces has
found many uses in the field of analytical chemistry. In
one method of spectrochemical analysis, inert gas ion
bombardment in a glow discharge is used to produce an ...
No research to date has involved ESL students as researchers in
investigations of community language practices. This study examined the
research processes of 23 international college students in an advanced
ESL course ...
My dissertation concerns two separate issues. The first issue is examined in Essay One, and the second issue is examined in Essays Two and Three.
The first essay develops an economic model of the determination of the ...
In this work I integrate some of my recent research developments in the theory and
practice of Productivity and Efficiency Analysis of Economic Systems. In
particular, I present some new theoretical relationships betwe ...
