Satellite views of Pacific chlorophyll variability: comparisons to physical variability, local versus nonlocal influences and links to climate indices

Creator:: Thomas, Andrew C., Strub, P. Ted, Weatherbee, Ryan A., and James, Corinne
Abstract:: Concurrent satellite-measured chlorophyll (CHL), sea surface temperature (SST), sea level anomaly (SLA) and model-derived wind vectors from the 13+ year SeaWiFS period September 1997 – December 2010 quantify time and space patterns of phytoplankton variability and its links to physical forcing in the Pacific Ocean. The CHL fields are a...

A Hierarchy of Models for Simulating Experimental Results 6 from a 3D Heterogeneous Porous Medium

Creator:: Vogler, Daniel, Ostvar, Sassan, Paustian, Rebecca, and Wood, Brian D.
Abstract:: In this work we examine the dispersion of conservative tracers (bromide and fluorescein) in an experimentally constructed three-dimensional dual-porosity porous medium, and in the absence of adjustable parameters. The medium is highly heterogeneous (σ2 Y = 5.7), and consists of spherical, low-hydraulic-conductivity inclusions embedded in a high-hydraulic-conductivity matrix. The bi-modal...

Abstract:: Background Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder resulting in impaired facial and eye movement. People with rare diseases like Moebius syndrome experience stigma and a lack of specialized information. Support conferences may provide important forms of social support for people with rare disorders. Aims To examine reasons for attending,...

Modeling global hammond landform regions from 250-m elevation data

Creator:: Karagulle, Deniz, Frye, Charlie, Sayre, Roger, Breyer, Sean, Aniello, Peter, Vaughan, Randy, and Wright, Dawn
Abstract:: Landforms are natural features on the Earth’s surface that both reflect and shape geophysical and ecological process. The result is a defining part of landscapes that so often impact on human perception and interactions with environment. Blascyznki (1997) defines landforms as, “specific geomorphic features on the surface of the Earth,...

Coherence, subgroup separability, and metacyclic structures for a class of cyclically presented groups

Creator:: Bogley, William A. and Williams, Gerald
Abstract:: We study a class M of cyclically presented groups that includes both finite and infinite groups and is defined by a certain combinatorial condition on the defining relations. This class includes many finite metacyclic generalized Fibonacci groups that have been previously identified in the literature. By analyzing their shift extensions...

Fluctuations in Evolutionary Integration Allow for Big Brains and Disparate Faces

Creator:: Evans, Kory M., Waltz, Brandon T., Tagliacollo, Victor A., Sidlauskas, Brian L., and Albert, James S.
Abstract:: In theory, evolutionary modularity allows anatomical structures to respond differently to selective regimes, thus promoting morphological diversification. These differences can then influence the rate and direction of phenotypic evolution among structures. Here we use geometric morphometrics and phenotypic matrix statistics to compare rates of craniofacial evolution and estimate evolvability in...

Measurement of high carrier mobility in graphene in an aqueous electrolyte environment

Creator:: Brown, Morgan A., Crosser, Michael S., Leyden, Matthew R., Qi, Yabing, and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Graphene is a promising material for applications in aqueous electrolyte environments. To explore the impact of such environments on graphene's electrical properties, we performed Hall bar measurements on electrolyte-gated graphene. Assuming a Drude model, we find that the room temperature carrier mobility in water-gated, SiO₂-supported graphene reaches 7000 cm²/Vs, comparable to...

Biomass Supply Curves for Western Juniper in Central Oregon, USA, Under Alternative Business Model and Policy Assumptions

Creator:: Lauer, Chris, McCaulou, Jeff C., Sessions, John, and Capalbo, Susan M.
Abstract:: This study estimates a supply of juniper from private lands to determine how much of the available juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) can be economically supplied at alternative prices if a market was to develop for using juniper as a biomass source. While juniper is native to central Oregon, current land...

Towards the development of accelerated methods for assessing the durability of wood plastic composites

Creator:: Silva, Antonio, Gartner, Barbara L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: While wood plastic composites have gained an increasingly large share of the market for decks and other outdoor structures, there are many questions about the long-term potential for biodeterioration of these materials. While the plastic does appear to retard moisture uptake, thereby slowing the rate of degradation, a number of...

The influence of program context intensity: an examination of television advertising during war news

Creator:: Aiken, K. Damon and Malkewitz, Keven
Abstract:: Advertisers often shy away from graphic, emotionally-charged programming under the assumption that the programming intensity will impair viewer recall, as well as negatively influence viewer perceptions. This paper empirically investigates this assumption and finds that advertisers are at least partially mistaken. We utilize war news programming as a fitting emotional...

Nonmuscle myosins II-B and Va are components of detergentresistant membrane skeletons derived from mouse forebrain

Creator:: Ishmael, Jane E., Safic, Masa, Amparan, David, Vogel, Walter K., Pham, Tuyen, Marley, Kevin, Filtz, Theresa M., and Maier, Claudia S.
Abstract:: Myosins are actin-based molecular motors that may have specialized trafficking and contractile functions in cytoskeletal compartments that lack microtubules. The postsynaptic excitatory synapse is one such specialization, yet little is known about the spatial organization of myosin motor proteins in the mature brain. We used a proteomics approach to determine...

Bibliographic freedom and the future direction of map cataloging

Creator:: Reese, Terry
Abstract:: With more and more cartographic data being created and released only as GIS datasets, map catalogers will eventually find themselves moving away from Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) as their primary bibliographic description schema and moving towards the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC).
