By using a sample of 83 students in a large public university in the North Western United States,...
To quantify total fishing mortality it is necessary to incorporate mortality rates attributed to bycatch,

This article concerns a systemic manifestation of small scale interfacial heterogeneities in large scale quantities of interest to a variety of diverse applications spanning the earth, biological and ecological sciences. Beginning with formulations in terms of partial differential equations governing the conservative, advective-dispersive transport of mass concentrations in divergence form,...
The purpose of this thesis was to develop an analytical framework based in Aristotle’s
Nicomachean Ethics and to apply this framework to Disney films in order to broaden the
current discussion and analysis of Disney films. The first portion of this thesis was an
overview of the most common critiques...
