In this thesis, we investigate the problem of simulating Maxwell's equations in dispersive dielectric media. We begin by explaining the relevance of Maxwell's equations to
21st century problems. We also discuss the previous work on the numerical simulations of
Maxwell's equations. Introductions to Maxwell's equations and the Yee finite difference...
Temperature data from above and below the Cougar Dam collected by the U.S. Geological Survey prior to the construction of the temperature control structure was analyzed to determine how the di®ering temperature regimes a®ect the growth and survival of threatened spring- run Chinook salmon. An ARIMA time-series model was used...
