Until now, most hypertext systems have been implemented on large scale computers. With improvements in microprocessors and development of graphical user interfaces, personal computers can run systems that previously needed the power of a mainframe. The low costs and widespread use of PCs will enable many people to use hypertext...
The purpose of the research project leading to this paper was to determine if a
community management approach to fishery management would be feasible in Oregon.
The basis for answering this question was a survey of residents in Oregon's eleven
incorporated fishing port communities.
This report addresses the design and implementation of an internet-based grading tool for the "Translators" course. The motivation is to avoid exposing the instructor's Java byte-code to possible reverse-engineering tools and enable students to submit their homework virtually from any machine across the internet. This tool is intended to replace...
State parks in Oregon provide important sites for visitor recreation and natural resource education. With the increasing number of visitors to Oregon coastal parks, tide pools and beach areas, there is growing need for site-specific marine education to enhance stewardship, interpretation and safety knowledge. The Oregon Sea Grant Program and...
The application of the collinearity solution by resection of the interior and exterior
orientation parameters of historical photographs is investigated. The spatial coordinates of seven
or more identifiable control points in the field of view of an historical photograph, combined
with image coordinates of the control point images, allow solution...
As part of a study to determine the history and potential for conflict in international freshwater
basins, an estimate was made of the location of arable and irrigable land in the world.
Knowledge about the world's arable and irrigable land was desired since this information could
be an indicator of...
Biodiversity studies allow for a more holistic approach to the conservation of
species. Using one measure ofbiodiversity, that ofspecies richness, this study
investigates the correlations between bird species richness and a set ofvariables. These
variables represent climate, productivity/available energy, habitat heterogeneity,
disturbance, and topography. Another aspect ofthis study is to...
The purpose of this study was to better understand the level of
wetland classification consistency among three different land cover layers
created using Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote sensor
technology. Where inconsistencies in data existed, the goal was to identify the
kinds of inconsistencies that occur. The results were...
This paper examines the influence of species, method, and area on automated
species-area curve created from a systematically sampled data set. Because this is a new
approach to species-area curves, three tests were run to evaluate the performance of the
data sets and accumulation technique. The tests involved 1) range...
