Current frameworks for analyzing forest carbon offset projects in disturbance-prone western forests often fail to address the dynamic nature of carbon pathways through time. They do not account for the probability of loss due to wildfire, which can influence the prediction of carbon storage at the end of a planning...
The work described herein details the synthesis and application of
biphenyls that probe the effects of hydrogen, Cl / Br, and methyl substituents
on the aryl ring of the terminal acetylenic carbon. From this work, we
successfully developed the rapid synthesis of phenyl acetylenes in 3-4 steps
from inexpensive commercially...
The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an
important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard.
Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region
that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed
stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...
The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical framework for identifying and evaluating conditions that precipitate currency devaluation like those experienced by Mexico in 1994. This study develops a framework of financial and macroenvironmental indicators that point to potential currency devaluation in the future. Some of these indicators...
The Salt Range and Potwar Plateau of northern Pakistan are part of
the thin-skinned, active thrust system related to the ongoing collision of
the Asian and Indian continental blocks. Platform rocks and orogenic
molasse of the Indo-Pakistani shield are deformed in south-verging thrusts
and folds, relative to a northward-converging basement....
Twenty- six mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), located between the Lostine River drainage and the East Fork Wallowa River drainage of the Wallowa Mountains, were monitored from June 1972 through June 1973. The age composition of the population was 76.9 percent adults and 11.5 percent each yearlings and kids. The addition...
STEM is evolving as a discipline and includes challenging educational practices. Teachers need support to address these challenges and implement STEM. We present an intervention in which a STEM coach supported teachers implementing STEM across a school district. The coach role was valued for (1) connecting to outside resources, (2)...
