Estimates of average annual precipitation (AAP) are-needed for hydrologic modeling at
Yucca Mtn., Nevada, site of a proposed, high-level nuclear waste repository. Historical
precipitation data and station elevation were obtained for stations in southern Nevada and
southeastern California. Elevations for 1,531 additional locations were obtained from
topographic maps. The sample...
In this thesis an introduction to simulation and object oriented programming discusses the need for the creation of several classes which directly support object oriented simulation. The author places no restrictions on the type of simulations that can be conducted and simulation practitioners will find that the classes provided lay...
A study of orientation and homing in brush rabbits, Sylvilagus
bachmani ubericolor (Miller), was conducted on the E. E. Wilson
Game Management Area 7 miles north of Corvallis, Oregon, between
July 1967 and April 1969. Sixty-seven individual rabbits were fitted
with radio-transmitters and returned to the field. Home ranges were...
Programmers spend a substantial fraction of their debugging time by navigating
through source code, yet little is known about how programmers navigate. With the
continuing growth in size and complexity of software, this fraction of time is likely to
increase, which presents challenges to those seeking both to understand and...
Professional software developers do not test code adequately, even though testing tools are widely available. Until developers realize the deficiencies in their tests, inadequate testing of software seems likely to remain a major problem. To support developers writing tests, industry and researchers have proposed systems that visualize “testedness” for end-user...
We sampled vegetation, bryophytes, lichens, environment, and stand dynamics in 56 plots in the Swan Valley, Montana in 1975-1978. The data include complete inventory of trees in 375 m2 plots, with whole-plot ocular estimates of plant cover by species, transect sampling of the ground layer bryophytes and lichens with microplots,...
Tenure has often been situated as a non-negotiable tenet of modern academia, a status granted after a probationary period and extensive review, and critical for academic freedom. However, the processes by which promotion and tenure (P&T) are vetted depart in practice from the meritocratic ideal that is frequently used to...
