We developed a tool that migrates the database schema and the data from one database to another. As DBMSs store the same data by using slightly different data types, one cannot simply copy all the tables and data from the source DBMS to the target DBMS. When our tool, db2db,...
Watering a lawn involves several factors such as laying out the sprinklers and valves, trenching, laying pipes, cables, etc. The primary goal is to ensure uniform watering subject to various constraints. We present some abstract problems involving sprinkler layout and some solutions with theoretical worst case bounds on their performance....
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices (within the limits of experimentation) or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with three to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with CO₂ precision plot sprayers. Unless otherwise indicated, preplant...
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers are reported for 68 nuclear-encoded microsatellites developed during the past several years from genomic libraries of red drum (Sciaenops ocelwtus). All68 microsatellites were tested for reproducibility and polymorphism on a sample of five to 12 red drum; 60 of the microsatellites were found to be...
The Columbia River Gillnetter is the pilot of the Lower Columbia River commercial fishing industry, keeping fishermen and the public in touch with today's important issues.
This report and especially the accompanying Detail Files and MapFiles provide relatively detailed information on status, trends, distribution, limiting factors, and conservation needs of all of the Willamette’s wildlife species, listed plants, and vulnerable habitats. Data on habitat suitability for each species is provided by watershed (170 HUC6s), elevation (6...
