Studies were conducted in 1969 and 1970 to evaluate the
effectiveness of an experimental herbicide, SD 30053 (alanine,
N-benzoyl-N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-, ethyl ester), for wild oat
(Avena fatua L.) control in winter cereals.
The 1969 field studies showed that postemergence applications
of SD 30053 were effective in controlling wild oats. Wild...

The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...
While individual portfolio diversity analysis is a well-studied problem in visualization, the visual analysis of individual or groups of portfolios, over time, has received little attention. Such analysis, however, is important to researchers who are interested in better understanding portfolio management behavior of experts as well as novices. We conducted...
Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video
games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have
presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a
collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the
response before...
The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...
Spreadsheets are a widely used end-user programming tool. Field audits have found that 80-90% of spreadsheets created by end users contain textual and formula errors in spreadsheets. Such errors may have severe negative consequences for users in terms of productivity, credibility, or profits. To solve the problem of spreadsheet errors,...
The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...
