The Middle Fork John Day Basin in Northeastern Oregon is prime habitat for spring Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. In 2008, a major tributary supporting rearing habitat, Big Boulder Creek, was restored to its historic mid-valley channel along a 1 km stretch of stream 800 m upstream of the mouth....
The Lights Creek Stock is an 18 square kilometer copper-bearing granitoid
intrusion within the Plumas Copper Belt in the northern California Sierra Nevada. Engels
Mine, Superior Mine, and Moonlight Valley represent the main copper-mineralization in
the Lights Creek district and small prospects include the Ruby Mine, and Moonlight
Creek. The...
Many different models and mechanisms of water imbibition into soil have been described in the literature. Theoretical equations based on those models exist to predict how water will flow in porous media. These models can be useful, but have their weaknesses. Research on imbibition and infiltration into soils has mostly...
Historically, 3M aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) were released at U.S. military and civilian sites to extinguish hydrocarbon-based fuel fires. To date, only C₄–C₁₀ homologues of the perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) are documented in 3M AFFFs. Perfluoroethanesulfonate (PFEtS) and perfluoropropanesulfonate (PFPrS), two ultra-short-chain PFSAs, were discovered by liquid chromatography (LC) quadrupole...

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...
