Dissolved C, N, P, and Si budgets for Tomales Bay, California, have been used to solve simultaneous stoichiometric equations which describe a plausible material balance for net organic matter reactions in the bay. Dissolved Si and P were both exported hydrographically. Dissolved C and fixed N were imported hydrographically. If...
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is a lesser known field which has outgrown the bounds of statistics. It differs from ordinary, or “confirmatory”, data analysis. Originated by John Tukey, EDA aspires toward an open-ended meta-goal: to discover “all interesting” [nontrivial, normal form, valid] hypotheses about a domain that is represented by...
A three dimensional finite element analysis is developed which
is capable of simulating the coupled static and dynamic behavior of
compliant ocean structures. Nonlinearities which result from large-deflection,
reduced or zero stiffness in compression, and the nonconservative
fluid loading are considered. The spatial variation of
fluid loading is also addressed....
This study investigated the relationship between
various demographic, structural, organizational, and
operational factors and the success of nonprofit
foundations affiliated with two-year technical and
community colleges in Canada. Three aspects were
specifically examined: (1) a descriptive analysis of the
two-year technical and community college foundation in
Canada; (2) Pearson product-moment...
