The Java programming language is a recent entry in the family of object-oriented languages and like all new languages has yet to achieve widespread standardization of coding styles for the unique aspects it possesses. This paper and project address this issue by presenting a complete and rationalized style guide for...
The path of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) is mapped using satellite sea surface temperature data from the NOAA/NASA Pathfinder program. The mean path and variability of the PF are strongly influenced by bathymetry. Meandering intensity is weaker where the bathymetry is steeply sloped and increases in areas where the...
In order to understand what controls the composition of suspended particulate material (SPM) in estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM), a set of SPM samples collected in the Columbia River and estuary (northwestern USA) during 3 seasons (fall 1990, summer 1991, spring 1992) was analyzed for detrital mineral (Min), total organic matter...
In spite of an order of magnitude increase over the past 15 years in spatial sampling of the wavefield, a major uncertainty in the analysis of active source seismic data remains phase identification. This uncertainty results in part from the wide range of spatial scales of velocity heterogeneity in the...
Understanding the impact of thinning on residual stands helps forest managers achieve management objectives associated with sustainability and quality control. Stand damage control becomes more critical as thinning prescriptions in the Pacific Northwest are increasingly required for intensive management of second-growth young stands. The purpose of this study was to...
The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size
(prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The
prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet
metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...
