Technical change and pollution abatement costs

Creator:: Färe, Rolf, Grosskopf, Shawna, and Pasurka, Carl
Abstract:: There is continuing interest in the trend of costs associated with pollution abatement activities. We specify an environmental production technology to model the joint production of good and bad outputs. The joint production model calculates pollution abatement costs and identifies changes in these costs associated with: (1) technical change, (2)...

Technical Note: Convergence analysis of a polyenergetic SART algorithm

Creator:: Humphries, T.
Abstract:: PURPOSE: We analyze a recently proposed polyenergetic version of the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART). This algorithm, denoted pSART, replaces the monoenergetic forward projection operation used by SART with a post-log, polyenergetic forward projection, while leaving the rest of the algorithm unchanged. While the proposed algorithm provides good results empirically,...

Repeat intercontinental dispersal and Pleistocene speciation in disjunct Mediterranean and desert Senecio (Asteraceae)

Creator:: Coleman, Max, Liston, Aaron, Kadereit, Joachim W., and Abbott, Richard J.
Abstract:: To explore the biogeographic history of Mediterranean/arid plant disjunctions, Old and New World Senecio sect. Senecio were analyzed phylogenetically using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences (ITS). A clade corresponding to sect. Senecio was strongly supported. Area optimization indicated this clade to be of southern African origin. The Mediterranean and southern African...

Distributional patterns of 0-group Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the eastern Bering Sea under variable recruitment and thermal conditions

Creator:: Hurst, Thomas P., Moss, Jamal H., and Miller, Jessica A.
Abstract:: Despite the importance of Pacific cod in Bering Sea fisheries and foodwebs, little is known about the habitat use and the distribution of early life stages. We analysed 6 years of catch data for 0-group Pacific cod in fishery-independent surveys of the Bering Sea shelf. Juvenile cod were most commonly...

Early retreat of the Alaska Peninsula Glacier Complex and the implications for coastal migrations of First Americans

Creator:: Misarti, Nicole, Finney, Bruce P., Jordan, James W., Maschner, Herbert D. G., Addison, Jason A., Shapley, Mark D., Krumhardt, Andrea, and Beget, James E.
Abstract:: The debate over a coastal migration route for the First Americans revolves around two major points: seafaring technology, and a viable landscape and resource base. Three lake cores from Sanak Island in the western Gulf of Alaska yield the first radiocarbon ages from the continental shelf of the Northeast Pacific...

Planning Best Management Practices to Reduce Sediment Delivery from Forest Roads Using WEPP:Road Erosion Modeling and Simulated Annealing Optimization

Creator:: Efta, James A. and Chung, Woodam
Abstract:: Planning and implementation of road BMPs on a watershed scale can be a difficult task because of the need to prioritize locations while accounting for multiple constraints, such as the available budget, continuous maintenance, and equipment scheduling. Using simulated annealing (SA) as its heuristic optimizer, BMP-SA accounts for sediment being...

Is fire exclusion in mountain big sagebrush communities prudent? Soil nutrient, plant diversity and arthropod response to burning

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Bates, Jonathan D., Boyd, Chad S., and Nafus, Aleta M.
Abstract:: Fire has largely been excluded from many mountain big sagebrush communities. Managers are reluctant to reintroduce fire, especially in communities without significant conifer encroachment, because of the decline in sagebrush-associated wildlife. Given this management direction, a better understanding of fire exclusion and burning effects is needed. We compared burned to...

Stable occupancy by breeding hawks (Buteo spp.) over 25 years on a privately managed bunchgrass prairie in northeastern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Kennedy, Patricia L., Bartuszevige, Anne M., Houle, Marcy, Humphrey, Ann B., Dugger, Katie M., and Williams, John
Abstract:: Potential for large prairie remnants to provide habitat for grassland-obligate wildlife may be compromised by nonsustainable range-management practices. In 1979–1980, high nesting densities of 3 species of hawks in the genus Buteo—Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis), Red-tailed Hawk (B. jamaicensis), and Swainson’s Hawk (B. swainsoni)—were documented on the Zumwalt Prairie and...

Demographic response of northern spotted owls to barred owl removal

Creator:: Diller, Lowell V., Hamm, Keith A., Early, Desiree A., Lamphear, David W., Dugger, Katie M., Yackulic, Charles B., Schwarz, Carl J., Carlson, Peter C., and McDonald, Trent L.
Abstract:: Federally listed as threatened in 1990 primarily because of habitat loss, the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) has continued to decline despite conservation efforts resulting in forested habitat being reserved throughout its range. Recently, there is growing evidence the congeneric invasive barred owl (Strix varia) may be responsible for...

Hexagonal global parameterization of arbitrary surfaces

Creator:: Nieser, Matthias, Palacios, Jonathan, Polthier, Konrad, and Zhang, Eugene
Abstract:: In this paper we introduce hexagonal global parameterizations, a new type of parameterization in which parameter lines respect six-fold rotational symmetries (6-RoSy). Such parameterizations enable the tiling of surfaces with regular hexagonal texture and geometry patterns and can be used to generate high-quality triangular remeshing. To construct a hexagonal parameterization...
