In February 1994, EPA proposed to "refine" its carbon monoxide (CO) hot spot model,
CAL3QHC, to increase its accuracy and reliability. Currently, this proposal includes
using hourly meteorological data recorded at airports near the modeling sites instead of
the worst case conditions now recommended as a modeling default. The analysis...
Shrews previously recognized as Sorex monticolus were classified
into two species (one with 14 subspecies, the other monotypic) on
the basis of a morphometric analysis of 3610 individuals from
throughout their range. Sorex m. neomexicanus has been recognized
previously as a subspecies of Sorex monticolus but is recognized
herein as...
This study concerns the use of a discrete-event
simulation model for analyzing the production of a
mechanized forest harvest system. The simulation models a
field collection data set of a harvester-forwarder system
which was previously collected by the Forest Engineering
Department of Oregon State University. The computer
software consisted of...
In competitive swimming a spread in time of only 0.10,
and 0.16 seconds constituted the difference between
finishing second and seventh, and first and eighth,
respectively, in the women's 50 yard freestyle at the 1993
NCAA Division III National Swimming & Diving Championships.
Based on data collected over a period...
Sod-seeding techniques offer graziers a convenient way to introduce superior grass cultivars into underproductive permanent pastures. Production loss and erosion are minimized. In conjunction with improved grazing management and fertilization, renovation can significantly improve yield and quality of pastures. Existent vegetation must be suppressed prior to introducing new cultivars. This...
For many years, the von Neumann bottleneck has imposed speed limits on the execution of a program. Because of their sequential nature, von Neumann computers can only execute a single instruction at a time. Instructions that are side-effect free and can be executed in parallel must wait. In an effort...
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of bone
mineral density (BMD) of the whole body (WB) and proximal
femurs of physically active men with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to
nonactive men with spinal cord injuries. Also, the lean muscle
mass (LMM) of active men with SCI...
The purpose of this study was to compare Far Eastern
influences on Western women's dress as represented in both
a high fashion and mass fashion magazine between 1910 and
1925. Vogue was selected as the high fashion magazine and
Ladies Home Journal as the mass fashion magazine. The
questions that...
