The Blanco Transform Fault Zone (BTFZ) forms the ~350 km long Pacific–Juan de
Fuca plate boundary between the Gorda and Juan de Fuca ridges. Nearby broadband seismic networks provide a unique framework for a detailed, long-term seismotectonic study of an entire oceanic transform fault (OTF) system. We use regional waveforms...
Thin foil samples of special nuclear materials (SNMs) were irradiated for 60s using a Mark TRIGA II reactor, and their associated gamma emissions were recorded with a count time of 60s following irradiation. A rapid pneumatic transfer system was used to irradiate the samples in front of beam port #4....
This experiment is concerned with sampling submicrometer
particles in near sonic and supersonic flows.
The study employed a high volume condensation aerosol
generator to produce stearic acid particles having a
geometric mean diameter of 0.8 μm and a geometric
standard deviation of 1.28. The aerosol was diluted
with dry air...
This study was designed to investigate a phenomenon, retention of Hispanic adult second language learners in Washington State's community colleges, from a qualitative paradigm and phenomenological approach. The focus of this study was to capture eight foreign-born Hispanic ESL non-continuators' voices and experiences, in their native language of Spanish, who...

The sweet potato is one of the world’s most widely consumed crops, yet its evolutionary history is poorly understood. In this paper, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic study of all species closely related to the sweet potato and address several questions pertaining to the sweet potato that remained unanswered. Our...
The eruption of Mt. St. Helens provided the
opportunity to study secondary production of grazing insects in the context of disturbance. Two stream sites were chosen that significantly differed in how their
watersheds were impacted by the eruption. Clearwater Creek was catastrophically disturbed (physical alteration of habitat, loss of riparian...
