Until now the topic of motion estimation, as used in video compression, has been dominated by search methodologies which are modifications of an exhaustive search. This research takes a completely new approach by applying two evolvable search algorithms, the Genetic Algorithm and the Genetic Program, to the area of motion...
Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry
(Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to
reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These
species have economic importance, because they reduce
conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling
approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of
these species and to...

purpose of identifying levels of current computer use from
280 responses to a specifically designed questionnaire
among: 1) full-time graphic design educators, 2) art and
design students, and 3) graphic design...
When grown together in plantations, fast-growing southern and coastal sources of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)often have lower wood specific gravity than northern and inland sources. This study investigated whether this phenomenon could be explained by a later transition to latewood, associated with a longer period of height growth, of...
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a self-esteem inventory
for Thai college women. Research questions included whether or not the developed
inventory proved to be unidimensional or multidimensional and, if the
latter proved to be the case, how many dimensions underlie the construct. The
item pool...
