How and where the ocean tides dissipate
their energy are longstanding questions with both
oceanographic and astronomical implications. Two
decades ago, Doake suggested that flexing of Antarctic
ice shelves by the underlying ocean tide is an important
energy sink, perhaps accounting for over half the global
dissipation rate. Observational constraints...
The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
Recommendations are provided in this watershed analysis to identify actions and management decisions on the part of BLM that might improve watershed health in the Trask River watershed.
Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
The thermal and anionic rearrangements of substituted 1-vinyltrans-
cyclotridec-3-en-l-ol compounds have been studied to determine
what effects substituents would have on the sigmatropic shift when
placed on the two positions of the 1-vinyl group.
For the thermal rearrangements, the a-substituted vinyl-trans-cyclotridecenols
gave both the [3,3] and [1,3] shift products of...
An estimated 5.7 million Americans are currently living with the dementia stage of Alzheimer’s disease, impeding health and wellbeing for individuals diagnosed, caregivers, families, and communities across the country (Alzheimer’s Association, 2018). Studying early indicators of age-related cognitive decline and pathological cognitive impairment (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) is crucial to inform...
The increased US domestic production of surimi from the US Pacific Coast after 1977 is a major consequence of the US's extended fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles. It is only one consequence, however, whose nature can best be understood by examining the surimi market in the context of what...
