From 27 June to 3 September 1999, CO2 fluxes from a 5-year-old, 84.15-ha vegetated clearcut in sub-boreal British Columbia were measured using a Bowen ratio energy balance (BREB) system and a second approach (the component model) that was based on scaled up CO2-flux measurements from belowground and plants (spruce seedlings...
This paper presents the initial results from an empirical study of mechanical design engineers. In this study, six engineers were video-taped solving real mechanical design problems. Preliminary analysis of this protocol data has yielded several important findings, including (a) mechanical designers progress from systematic to opportunistic behavior as the design...
Microprogramming has evolved since its introduction in 1951 by Maurice Wilkes. The most significant change that has taken place is the recent growth of interest in user microprogramming. However, user microprogramming is a difficult task because of various complex and intricate features of the host processors. A microprogrammer must be...

This report reviews the 31 papers on machine learning that were presented at the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-85) held in Los Angeles during August, 1985. The papers are grouped according to a taxonomy of the various subareas of machine learning research. The areas receiving the most...
Two powerful reasoning tools have recently appeared, logic programming and assumption based truth maintenance systems (ATMS). An ATMS offers significant advantages to a problem solver: assumptions are easily managed and the search for solutions can be carried out in the most general context first and in any order. Logic programming...
Twentieth-century land management has altered the structure and composition of mixed-conifer forests and decreased their resilience to fire, drought, and insects in many parts of the Interior West. These forests occur across a wide range of environmental settings and historical disturbance regimes, so their response to land management is likely...
This compendium contains listings of ongoing and recently completed research and administrative studies conducted in the Oregon Coast Range in the areas of fisheries, forestry, soils/hydrology, and wildlife. To assemble this compendium, requests for information were sent to about 145 individuals from various agencies, companies, and universities. Individuals and agencies...
