Students from different countries, throughout the world, have visited
the United States to learn and observe the programs of the various
experiment stations with the hope of being able...
The thesis examines the principal air-sea properties at Ocean
Station Vessel N (30N 140W). In a descriptive section, meteorological
and oceanographic data for N are analyzed over 20 years (1951-1970)
and 7 years (1964-1970), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed
for the 20 year period. The yearly average rainfall is...
A number of historians of science have been involved
in studying the nature of biology at the turn of the
century, and the picture that they have developed describes
biology during this time as a field struggling to define
itself. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, biologists were...
Amateur Packet Radio Networking presently uses the NET/ROM
protocol to establish the network. NET/ROM is considered to be
insufficient to support the expected growth of the network. This
research work proposes to use the TCP/IP protocol suite instead to
build the network. A comparison between features of both protocols
supports...

Climate-induced range overlap can result in novel interactions between similar species and potentially lead to competitive exclusion. The Western Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth and is experiencing a poleward climate migration. This transition from a polar to sub-polar environment has resulted in a...
