This paper reports on an empirical study involving end users that addresses the question of whether it is possible to provide the benefits of formal testing within the informal spreadsheet paradigm. We have developed a "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology that brings the benefits of formal...
The data in this document was presented to the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission at a September 1, 2000 meeting. It summarizes the 1999/2000 Dungeness crab fishery in Oregon and gives an overview of issues of pot limits and preseason quality testing. Includes statistics.
In 1995 my students and I developed Leda, a multiparadigm language based on the Pascal model. Leda allowed programmers to create abstractions in an object-oriented, functional, or logic programming style. More recently we have been interested in recreating this work, but this time using Java as the language basis. The...
Since their discovery in 1977, hydrothermal vent communities have offered scientists
a unique glimpse into a world that is supported primarily by chemically derived
energy rather than direct energy from the sun. Furthermore, studies of hydrothermal
vent ecosystems have introduced scientists to amazing animals that have successfully
adapted to living...
"Recent concerns have been raised by commercial crab interests relating to the size and character of the recreational fishery for dungeness crab in ocean waters off Oregon. In response to those concerns, in May of 1999 the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Ocean Sampling Project began counting the number...
Equations for predicting height to crown base are presented for tree species from southwest Oregon. Equations for undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. The effects of specific damaging agents on the height to crown base were explored, and damage correction factors were estimated. The damage...
The 14-km long Netarts Littoral Cell, located on the northern Oregon coast, experienced episodic erosion as a result of the severe 1997-98 El Nino and 1998-99 La Nina. The erosion events led to the development of a unique partnership bridging scientists, stakeholders, and various planning agencies. To address these erosion...
Stinkbug injury was significantly reduced when aggregation lures were placed along orchard edges before border spraying commenced inJuly. Damage was 24% lower along borders that had lures placed in weed hosts every 20 feet. Further improvements are expected when overwintered adults are controlled in the same manner beginning in May.
