Facial recognition has become increasingly important in recent years, due to the wide range of applications it has in fields such as security, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. Three popular methods for facial recognition are the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Karhunen-Loeve Expansions, which is fundamentally a continuous form of PCA but...
Seven species of microorganisms indigenous to fish were inoculated into sterile fish muscle, obtained from Sebastodes alutus and Sebastalobus alascanus, and the production of total volatile acids (TVA) and total volatile bases (TVB) was determined during storage at 1 C. No production of TVA and TVB was noted in sterile...
Metric spaces (X, d) are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that are able to capture pairwise distance relationships d(x, y) between points x, y ∈ X. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful generalizations there are of metric spaces for capturing “k-wise distance relationships” d(x1,...
Certain chlorinated insecticides can be identified by electron capture gas-liquid chromatographic (EC-GLC) analysis of the prepared sample before and after treatment with ultraviolet irradiation, Upon U.V. treatment, characteristic degradation products arise from the insecticides investigated. Comparison of the degradation pattern obtained by EC-GLC of unknown and authentic insecticides provides an...
The following pages describe initial findings from the third of three surveys administered in a state of the field study as part of the Modeling Zoos and Aquariums as Inclusive Communities of Science (MoZAICS) for Autistic Individuals project. This study was designed to look across the Association of Zoos and...

This report summarizes findings from three surveys (n=76) and focus groups (n=30) administered as part of the Modeling Zoos and Aquariums as Inclusive Communities of Science (MoZAICS) for Autistic Individuals project. This study was designed to look across the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) field to understand what inclusive...
In Southern Oregon, grass seed production occupies a small acreage, but is an important part of agronomic crop production. The high value of sod quality bentgrass seed (Agrostis palustris Huds.) led to some growers supplementing soil fertilizers with foliar fertilizers in an attempt to increase seed yield. However, this practice...
The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. Biodiesel is an appealing transportation fuel source for many reasons: it readily substitutes for petroleum diesel, it tends to burn cleaner with fewer...

Improvement behaviors, specifically double loop, have been linked to successful lean implementations. Although the lean literature supports individual cognitive transformation to double loop learning as an important element of lean success, there remains a strategic methodology to achieve sustainable double loop behavior. Perceptions toward behavior and employee satisfaction have been...
Grain is produced on about 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin and 60,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, a significant shift to production of hard...
Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin, including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, acres seeded to winter wheat...

Concerns were raised about loss of soil from wind erosion with the announcement in early 2010 that most Klamath Reclamation Project water users would receive a delayed and reduced rate of irrigation water during the 2010 growing season, with some areas potentially receiving no irrigation water for the entire season....

As we described previously and elsewhere in this annual report, teff (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.], Poaceae) is a warm season (C4) annual tropical grass that can produce good quality forage during a short summer time frame, and thus has the potential to be a viable crop choice when forage producers: a)...
There are times when forage producers desire a quick-growing, high quality annual forage in mid-summer in situations such as: less-than full season irrigation water supply; need for an emergency crop due to crop failure; or forage rotation crop between alfalfa stands. Currently there are few good options in these situations....

Euphorbia lagascae has been recognized as one of the more promising potential new industrial crops for temperate latitudes (Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized that E. lagascae (Spreng.), Euphorbiaceae (euphorb or spurge...
