Satellite data ingestion tool is an automated database application for processing and archiving the ocean and land data that is broadcasted by a remote sensing satellite. This Ingestion system has a two-tier architecture, with data processing algorithm forming the first tier and the database server forming the second tier. The...
Wireless technologies advance rapidly in the recent time. The maJor initiative is the realization of the third generation wireless network that provides high bandwidth access to digital data on the Internet. Moreover, recent improvements in computer and embedded systems have enabled portable devices with sufficiently high computing capability.
The combination...
The structure of monadic functional programs allows the integration of many different features into such programs by just changing the definition of the monad and not the program, which is a desirable feature from a software engineering and maintenance point of view. We describe an algorithm for the automatic transformation...
The debate surrounding Measure 27, to require labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods sold or distributed in or from Oregon, encompasses many aspects of an important and complex topic. At one level, questions are raised about the benefits and potential risks of GM foods.
We describe the design of a domain-specific language (DSL) for the specification of generic ocean modeling tools, and we describe the
implementation of its compiler. The goal of the DSL is to allow the specification of widely usable tools for ocean modeling once, and to allow its translation into different...
Many software maintenance problems are caused by using text editors to change programs. A more systematic and reliable way of performing program updates is to express changes with an update language. In particular, updates should preserve the syntax- and type-correctness of the transformed object programs. We describe an update calculus...
"September, 2001, Updated October, 2002" - note from cover. "This report reviews the Oregon's ocean commercial Dungeness crab fishery. It provides both a present and historical evaluation of the fishery, its vessel effort, and gear use, but emphasizes more recent analysis and information relevant to a discussion of pot limits....
As a developer in the Pacific Northwest, you have a unique opportunity to help maintain and improve the health of streams and riparian areas. This brochure describes what a riparian area is, why it is important, and what you can do to take care of the land. A healthy riparian...
A s a recreationist, you have a unique opportunity to help maintain or improve the health of streams and riparian areas. A riparian area is the land adjacent to a stream, lake, or wetland. Healthy riparian areas often have moist, fertile soils that support many types of plants. These plants...
Riparian areas used as livestock pasture need special care to remain healthy and productive. This brochure describes what a riparian area is, why it is important, and what you as a rancher can do to take care of your land. A healthy riparian pasture benefits you, your livestock, wildlife, and...
