The trophic habits, size and condition of yearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) caught early in their marine residence were examined during 19 survey years (1981–1985; 1998–2011). Juvenile salmon consumed distinct highly piscivorous diets in cold and warm ocean regimes with major differences between ocean regimes driven by changes in consumption...
Presentation at the American Library Association Annual Conference, ACRL STS Research Forum, June 29, 2014, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Libraries are currently challenged to design dynamic learning spaces that are attractive to students and support them in various forms of learning. STEM students, in particular, need spaces that allow them to...
We have developed a method for the determination of the orientational distribution function of partially ordered systems from the EPR line shape that is an alternative to the usual one of expansion in the elements of the Wigner rotation matrices. The method can be applied to distribution functions whose expansion...
We have developed a method for determining the response of a static, partially ordered ensemble of molecules to various types of electromagnetic probes. In our formalism a physical model is constructued for the orientational distribution function, which is represented as a volume integral over a set of weighting functions. Procedures...
Intense infections of the gill pathogen Dermocystidium salmonis were associated with mortality of prespawning chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in several Oregon rivers in 1988. The occurrence of the pathogen in returning adult chinook salmon was monitored in several coastal Oregon stocks from 1989 to 1993. Although the prevalence of the...
We have developed a new approach to the theory of linear dichroism in partially ordered systems. The description of the partially ordered ensemble uses a density of states function, D(θ, ϕ, Δ), which gives the probability that the direction of polarization for incident polarized light has spherical angles θ and...
Successfully shifting to a more piscivorous diet may be an important factor in the growth and survival of juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch and Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha during their first summer in the northern California Current. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis of diets by size showed several distinct...
This study involves logic design and switching theory, in particular their practical application to the logic design and understanding of digital machines. Digital machines, of course, play an extremely important role in that large class of machines known as digital computers. But they also play an important role in many...
Most research on military service focuses on its short-term negative consequences, especially the mental and physical injuries of those deployed in warzones. However, studies of long-term outcomes reveal surprisingly positive effects of military service—both those early in adulthood that grow over time and others that can emerge later in life....
