A good code generator must effectively utilize the registers provided by the target architecture. Although a number of register allocation techniques exist, few address the issues involved in multiple register banks and no known techniques exist for effectively using register banks of the same type that are associated with multiple...
Recent scientific studies show that framing climate change as a health issue rather than an environmental issue were more persuasive with American audience members (Maibach et. al., 2010; Maibach et. al. 2014). Also in 2014, a survey on respiratory healthcare providers and found that a large percentage believed that climate...
Crustal and upper mantle structures in the West Philippine Basin,
along 17-18°N, have been determined using explosions as sources and
ocean bottom seismometers to measure refracted compressional waves.
Seismic refraction profiles out to nearly 500 km were completed.
Shallow structure was measured using small shots, 1-240 lbs., and
the deeper...
There is still scholarly debate on the impacts of large floods on the geomorphic evolution of mountain rivers. Understating the geomorphic effects of large flows in mountain rivers is challenging given the hydraulic complexity of these systems and the inherent unpredictability of large floods. Prior work has demonstrated that extreme...
On February 9th, 2014 Michael Sam stated in an interview with ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he is gay. Since he was drafted, Sam will become the first ever openly gay player in NFL history. The following study aims to explore ESPN's coverage of Michael Sam, with a goal of...
The traditional filter paper assay for saccharifying cellulase
originally described by M. Mandels et al (1976) has been modified to
make possible low activity determinations of Trichoderma
cellulases. The enzymatic activity appears to decline during a
prolonged incubation period if no precautions have been taken. By
means of adding bovine...
Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...
The objective of this study was to examine the life history of
vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was
conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass
and productivity. The specific objectives were to 1) estimate the
contribution of...
The inter-relationship of salmonberry and Douglas-fir on cutover areas was investigated in the Coast Range of western Oregon. Animal influences affecting the survival of Douglas-fir in a salmonberry
habitat were also investigated. The autecology of salmonberry was considered first by formulating a mathematical model to characterize the lateral encroachment of...
