This report presents the analysis of ceramic heat
exchangers for use in a combined-cycle, wood-fired power
plant. The combined-cycle system investigated is
characterized by having a wood-fueled combustor, an
indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle.
The direct use of low-grade fuels, such as wood, in
present gas turbines...
Four aspects of the ecology of members of the Monotropoideae (achiorophyllous
Ericaceae, referred to here as "monotropes") are presented: (1) a clarified conceptualization
of monotrope nutrition based on a detailed literature review, (2) the relationship of
monotrope populations to the plant communities of Limpy Rock RNA, (3) a test of...

The data described in this report were collected in support of the program, Abyssal Boundary Current Studies, funded by the National Science Foundation. This program was designed to improve our understanding of the structure and variability of the deep western boundary currents and to estimate their transport of heat and...
The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss
in the Pacific Northwest. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of
occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order
to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to...
