Statistical aspects of surface drifter observations of circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel

Creator:: Dever, Edward P., Hendershott, M. C., and Winant, C. D.
Abstract:: Argos-tracked drifters are used to study the near-surface circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel. The mean consists of a cyclonic cell in the western Santa Barbara Channel with weaker flow in the eastern Channel. Drifter mean velocities agree well with record means from near-surface current meters. At the eastern entrance...

Seasonal spillover and varve formation in the Santa Barbara Basin, California

Creator:: Reimers, Clare E., Lange, Carina B., Tabak, Marialana, and Bernhard, Joan M.
Abstract:: A temporal record of oxygen and NO3- concentrations in the bottom water of the Santa Barbara Basin indicates that outside waters spill over into the basin seasonally. It is proposed that an annual bottom-water cycle leads ultimately to varve production. As evidence in support of a benthic mechanism for varve...

The Dynamics of Northwest Summer Winds over the Santa Barbara Channel

Creator:: Skyllingstad, Eric D., Barbour, Philip, and Dorman, Clive E.
Abstract:: A mesoscale model is used to examine the dynamics of northwest flow over the Santa Barbara Channel region. Three cases are considered, each characterized by typical summertime synoptic conditions, but with differences in pressure gradient strength and marine boundary layer depth (MBL). The first case examines a relatively deep MBL...

Informative g-Priors for Logistic Regression

Creator:: Hanson, Timothy E., Branscum, Adam J., and Johnson, Wesley O.
Abstract:: Eliciting information from experts for use in constructing prior distributions for logistic regression coefficients can be challenging. The task is especially difficult when the model contains many predictor variables, because the expert is asked to provide summary information about the probability of “success” for many subgroups of the population. Often,...

Traits, properties, and performance: how woody plants combine hydraulic and mechanical functions in a cell, tissue, or whole plant

Creator:: Lachenbruch, Barbara and McCulloh, Katherine A.
Abstract:: This review presents a framework for evaluating how cells, tissues, organs, and whole plants perform both hydraulic and mechanical functions. The morphological alterations that affect dual functionality are varied: individual cells can have altered morphology; tissues can have altered partitioning to functions or altered cell alignment; and organs and whole...

Relative growth rates of vines and shrubs of western poison oak, Toxicodendron diversilobum (Anacardiaceae)

Creator:: Gartner, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Because of different mechanical constraints on vines and self-supporting plants, vines are thought to differ from trees and shrubs in a variety of their growth characteristics. I tested the hypotheses that vines grow faster than shrubs and that supported shoots have delayed leaf expansion relative to stem elongation, using western...

Compression of Coated Drug Beads for Sustained Release Tablet of Glipizide: Formulation, and Dissolution

Creator:: Nguyen, Chien, Christensen, J. Mark, and Ayres, James W.
Abstract:: A promising formulation of glipizide comprising compression of four-layer coated beads into tablets which has advantages of providing a lag time (~ 2 hours) before drug release, retaining sustained-release characteristics, and providing approximately zero-order drug release, with drug release nearly independent of paddle speeds of 50 and 100 rpm during...

Physical models as an aid for teaching wood anatomy

Creator:: Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: Student activities and instructor-made models are described to facilitate and encourage other instructors to develop their own appropriate activities and models for teaching the three-dimensional structure of wood. The teaching activities include making several annual rings with straws pushed into clay, drawing wood’s structure onto a piece of paper that...

Is long primary growth associated with stem sinuosity in Douglas-fir?

Creator:: Gartner, Barbara L. and Johnson, G. R.
Abstract:: Stem sinuosity is a highly visible stem-form trait in the leaders of fast-growing Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. (Mirb.) Franco) trees, yet its cause is unknown. We tested the hypotheses that sinuous stems have longer expanses of primary growth than nonsinuous stems (putting the leader at higher risk curvature, induction of...

Genetic variation in basic density and modulus of elasticity of coastal Douglas-fir

Creator:: Johnson, G. R. and Gartner, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Douglas-fir trees from 39 open-pollinated families at four test locations were assessed to estimate heritability of modulus of elasticity (MOE) and basic density. After trees were felled, sound velocity was measured on 4-m logs with the Director HM200. Disks were taken to estimate dry and green wood density; dynamic MOE...
