This report documents and summarizes several decades of work on sage-grouse populations, sagebrush as habitat, and sagebrush community and ecosystem functions based on the recent assessment and findings of the USFWS under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. As reflected here, some of these topics receive a greater depth of...
This tutorial discusses one of the oldest problems in computing: how to search and retrieve keyed information from a list in the least amount of time. Hashing - a technique that mathematically converts a key into a storage address - is one of the best methods of finding and retrieving...

Preliminary results of a comprehensive study of hydraulic fluctuations in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stems in response
to plant water status and environment are presented. Diurnal changes in stem circumference near DBH of a dominant Douglas-fir were monitored using automated band dendrometers. Measurements of transpiration rate, internal moisture stress and stomata...
High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of...
