The focus of this paper is on the underlying knowledge base for an intelligent tutorial system for high school algebra problems. We present a model of problem solving flexible enough to account for a variety of problem solving behaviors and general enough to allow new problem domains to be defined...
Stated choice random utility frameworks are a valuable tool for eliciting the preferences of fishermen. In typical applications, choice outcomes are known prior to choice selection, which may confound results when outcomes are uncertain. To evaluate the importance of uncertainty in decision making, we applied a contingent sequential stated choice...
Predicting the net effects on the carbon and water
balance of semi-arid forests under future conditions depends
on ecosystem processes responding to changes in
soil and atmospheric drought. Here we apply a combination
of field observations and soil–plant–atmosphere modeling
(SPA) to study carbon and water dynamics in a regenerating
ponderosa...

Ruehr, N. K., Law, B. E., Quandt, D., & Williams, M. (2014). Effects of
Simplifying stand structure to reduce fuel density is a high priority for forest managers; however, affects to Pacific marten (Martes caurina) movement and connectivity are unknown. We evaluated whether thinning forests to reduce fuels influenced movements of Pacific marten. We collected movement paths from 22 martens using global positioning system...
We report a facile method of doping cations from an electrospray ionization (ESI) source into superfluid helium droplets. By decelerating and stopping the ion pulse of reserpine and substance P from an ESI source in the path of the droplet beam, about 10⁴ ion-doped droplets (one ion per droplet) can...
We present an experimental investigation of the effect of kinetic energy on the ion doping efficiency of superfluid helium droplets using cesium cations from a thermionic emission source. The kinetic energy of Cs⁺ is controlled by the bias voltage of a collection grid collinearly arranged with the droplet beam. Efficient...
We present experimental results of electron diffraction of super fluid helium droplets and droplets doped with phthalocyanine gallium chloride, and discuss the possibility of performing the same experiment with a laser aligned sample. The diffraction profile of pure droplets demonstrates dependence on the nozzle temperature, i. e., on the average...
