The data described in this report were collected in support of the program, Abyssal Boundary Current Studies, funded by the National Science Foundation. This program was designed to improve our understanding of the structure and variability of the deep western boundary currents and to estimate their transport of heat and...
With all of the efforts that have been conducted over the past 100 years since the first accident causation theory was published, the Accident Proneness theory by Vernon (1918), the construction still trails among different industries in terms of fatal and nonfatal work injuries. Theories and models that have been...
Alaska-cedar (Chamaecvparis nootkatensIs (D. Don) Spach) is a
valuable tree that is suffering from a serious decline and mortality of
unknown cause throughout southeast Alaska. Epidemiological and
pathological studies were initiated to determine if a pathogen is the
primary cause of this problem. By examining old aerial photographs and
by...
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the underlying mechanisms within community colleges that influence cross-functional collaboration. The study also explored the role of community college leadership in fostering internal collaboration. The following questions guided the research: (1) What does cross-functional collaboration look like at a community...
The objectives of this guide are to provide information to allow users to be able to identify potential natural vegetation types in wetlands (and transitional riparian areas) and to provide information pertinent to the use and management of these
areas. An attempt has been made to describe the successional status...
An instrument was constructed to measure molecular fluorescence (FL) or chemiluminescence (CL) and absorbance (ABS) simultaneously. The lower, middle, and upper portions of the test solution are probed to obtain ABS, FL, and CL data. Optical fibers are used extensively. The ABS and FL or CL spectra are acquired in...
A high-spectral resolution laser-excited molecular fluorescence
system was developed that utilizes a pulsed supersonic expansion to
simplify the fluorescence excitation spectra of large, gas-phase
aromatic molecules diluted in an excess of a monatomic gas. A
microcomputer was used to control and synchronize the instrumental
components, which included a Chromatix CMX-4...
