Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...
A composite 732-rn thick section in Germany Creek of middle Eocene upper McIntosh and lower Cowlitz Formations, as well as the lower Grays River Volcanics, was studied using bio-, magneto- and lithostratigraphy to construct a sequence stratigraphic framework and assess hydrocarbon exploration potential. The upper McIntosh Formation forms a complete...

Anomaly detection is the task of identifying observations (points) that differ from the majority of other points, which requires some measure of difference, or distance. Many anomaly detection methods rely on “implicit distance” measures: rather than directly calculating an explicitly defined distance, these approaches quantify a point’s “abnormality” by examining...
In the face of a disruptive event or prolonged period of stress, resilient performance ischaracterized by preventative measures, effective response, and the integration of lessonslearned. In healthcare, resilience significantly affects patient safety. However, currentguidelines for healthcare performance assessment, such as the Triple Aim, do notconsider physician satisfaction and preventative measures...
An ancient delta complex is partly recorded by the upper seven
formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group exposed on Mayne and
Samuel Islands of southwestern British Columbia. Features especially
suggestive of deltaic sedimentation here are: upward-coarsening
marine to fluvial sequences, cyclic repetition of facies, subaqueous
slumping, fluvial-marine interfingering, facies changes,...

A supply and demand model for the sweet cherry industry in Wasco County, Oregon and two investment valuation models are used to value and assess the risk of investments in high-density sweet cherry orchard establishment and production from the producer perspective. The supply and demand estimation finds the cherry price...
