The middle to late Eocene tholeiitic Tillamook Volcanics compose the oldest rock unit in the Hamlet-North Fork of the Nehalem River area. Geochemical plots and field relationships indicate that these rocks were produced in an extensional tectonic setting in the developing forearc and formed an extensive tholeiltic oceanic island. The...

With sequential computing technology reaching its speed limits, parallel processing is emerging as the key to very-high-speed computation. However, developing a parallel program is by no means a simple task; neither is analyzing the performance of parallel programs.
C* is a high-level data-parallel language that hides explicit message passing and...
The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....
The current model for gamma ray bursts (GRBs) assumes that internal shocks are responsible for the emission of gamma-rays. Internal shocks occur when the fast expanding shell collides with the slowly expanding shells. The light curve of a GRB depends on the initial state and the expanding speed of the...
This study investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of an austenitic Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel produced by the Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) process using powder feedstock atomized with elemental yttrium. The Microstructure of the samples was characterized by electron microscopy, and mechanical properties were measured using a tensile...
Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...

Wheat is an important part of a healthy and balanced diet, requiring six servings per day to maintain a recommended 2000 Calorie intake (McRae, 2017). Because of this more land than almost any other kind of cereal is set aside for the purposes of growing wheat. To keep up with...
