Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....
This thesis presents the idea for FORIN (Forest Roads Inventory), a computerized forest roads inventory system. FORIN is a tool to more efficiently inventory and manage information of forest roads. FORIN is intended for use by field personnel, who will use pen-based computers to improve productivity, accuracy of inventories, to...

A 5-year-old, male, domestic rabbit had severe swelling of the left rear leg. Radiographs demonstrated a proliferative, infiltrative lesion involving the stifle joint, femur, and soft tissues of the thigh. Osteomyelitis or neoplasia was suspected, and the leg was surgically amputated. Grossly, a multilobular mass comprised cyst-like structures containing yellow...

A semi-parametric PAR diffuse radiation model
was developed using commonly measured climatic variables
from 108 site-years of data from 17 AmeriFlux sites. The
model has a logistic form and improves upon previous efforts
using a larger data set and physically viable climate
variables as predictors, including relative humidity, clearness
index,...

The purpose of this article is to report the results of a statistical investigation of links in the fish supply chain in Uganda. We are particularly interested in the extent of ex-vessel prices impacting links downstream in the fish supply chain. We test for vertical and horizontal co-integration for five...

Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

Plant viruses of the recently recognized family Amalgaviridae have monopartite double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes
and encode two proteins: an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a putative capsid protein (CP). Whereas the
RdRp of amalgaviruses has been found to be most closely related to the RdRps of dsRNA viruses of the...

The use of in situ measurements is essential in the validation and evaluation of the algorithms that provide coastal water quality data products from ocean colour satellite remote sensing. Over the past decade, various types of ocean colour algorithms have been developed to deal with the optical complexity of coastal...

Western North Pacific gray whales (WGWs), once considered extinct, are critically endangered with unknown migratory routes and reproductive areas. We attached satellite-monitored tags to seven WGWs on their primary feeding ground off Sakhalin Island, Russia, three of which subsequently migrated to regions occupied by non-endangered eastern gray whales (EGWs). A...
