We report new geochemical data for boninites and backarc basin-type basalts recovered from the northern termination of the Tonga trench and Lau Basin. Boninitic pillow lavas, ranging from high-Mg compositions to andesites and dacites, have been erupted within large submarine volcanic edifices (calderas and volcanoes) associated with active rifting of...
This thesis is an attempt to create a methodology to analyze the performance of parallel applications on a wide variety of platforms and programming environments. First we determined the monitoring functions required to collect traces for accurate representation of the parallel application. We used the Extended Large Grain Data Flow...
Opossum shrimp Mysis relicta were collected in Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada, in the summer of 1966 for the second successive year. Approximately 650,000 were collected and introduced into Waldo, Wallowa, Big Cultus, Crescent, and Timothy Lakes in Oregon.
Opossum shrimp, Mysis relicta Loven, were collected at Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada in the summer of 1967, terminating a three-year project. Approximately 1,090,000 Mysis were transplanted into Big Cultus, Crescent, Detroit, Fourmile, Ice, Miller, Odell, Olive, Timothy, Waldo, and Wallowa Lakes in an attempt to enhance the quantity of...
Dataparallel C is a SIMD extension to the standard C programming language. It is derived from the original C* language developed by Thinking Machines Corporation.. We have nearly completed a third-generation Dataparallel C compiler, which transforms Dataparallel C programs into SPMD-style C code suitable for compilation and execution on NCUBE...
We are convinced that the combination of data-parallel languages and MIMD hardware can make an important contribution to high speed computing. The data-parallel paradigm is a natural way to solve a large number of problems arising in science and engineering. Data-parallel programs are easier to design, implement, and debug than...
A wide variety of different rock types were dredged from the Tonga fore arc and trench between 8000 and 3000 m water depths by the 1996 Boomerang voyage. ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar whole rock and U-Pb zircon dating suggest that these fore arc rocks were erupted episodically from the Cretaceous to the Pliocene...
The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options (DEMO) study is a large-scale, multi-year, interdisciplinary project examining the effects of various levels and patterns of green-tree retention on multiple forest features. Six retention levels and patterns were examined and replicated across six blocks of predominately Douglas-fir forested land in western Oregon and...
