The divergence theorem in its usual form applies only to suitably smooth vector fields. For vector fields which are merely piecewise smooth, as is natural at a boundary between regions with different physical properties, one must patch together the divergence theorem applied separately in each region. We give an elegant...
WTD Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("WTD") employ approximately twelve hundred people in the business of manufacturing lumber and related activities.
In the mid 1980's WTD implemented a drug testing program to prevent users of illegal drugs from working for or continuing to work for the Company. The program was...
Augmented term rewriting (ATR) is a simple, uniform, and extensible computational model for constraint programming. Unfortunately, ATR cannot solve combinatorial constraint satisfaction problems (CCSPs). To enable solution of CCSPs, we introduce (don't know) nondeterminism into ATR via the choice expression, which identifies a set of possible values that may satisfy...
This study relates surface fluxes to remotely sensed variables over well-defined variations of surface wetness and vegetation. The surface fluxes are estimated from repeated Twin Otter aircraft flights at 33 m above the surface after correcting for advection and local storage between the aircraft level and the surface. An extensive...
The decay of a downward propagating near-inertial wave was observed over four days. During this short period, the energy of the near-inertial wave decreased by 70%. The shear layers produced by the wave were regions of enhanced turbulent dissipation rates. The authors estimate that 44% of the observed change in...
Practical hydrostatic ocean models are often restricted to statically stable configurations by the use of a convective adjustment. A common way to do this is to assign an infinite boat conductivity to the water at a given level if the water column should become statically unstable. This is implemented in...

The purpose of this publication is to provide background information about early development of cereals and to give you specific information about expected wheat development patterns based on historic weather data.
Yellow toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) and Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria
dalmatica) are members of the figwort (Scrophulariaceae) family.
They were introduced into North America as ornamental plants because of their showy, snapdragon-like flowers. Yellow toadflax was brought from Wales in the mid-1800s as a garden flower by Ranstead, a Welsh Quaker who...
