Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...
The objective of this research is to shed light on the phenomenon of independent volunteer traveling. It represents a form of tourism in which travelers independently organize their own volunteer efforts and typically provide assistance to local people in return for room and board. Travelers operate outside the confines of...
An information processing model of the problem-solving
performance of mechanical designers is presented for four design
tasks: conceptual assembly design, layout component design, detail
component design, and catalog selection. These tasks are organized
into six kinds of segments called episodes, which describe the goal
structure of the designer while performing...
Due to the interdependent nature of Free Open Source Software projects, a vulnerability in just one highly used project can have significant and sweeping consequences across many projects, and can inflict hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. This paper proposes a model for predicting software vulnerabilities in highly used...

The purpose of the research was to computerize mathematical
procedures for the analysis of range vegetation and environmental
data. The specific objectives were as follows:
1. to develop and apply computer techniques to the classification
of vegetation in order to provide a phytosociological
framework within which to investigate the ecology...
The Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) cruise of Oct and Nov 1982 occupied 1984 stations along a transect from the California coast at 35°N to a study area covering the subtropical front near 32°N, 142°W. This report presents data collected with spectral—radiometer instrument package and particle size distributions of discrete water...
