The American Fisheries Society (AFS) recognizes the need for conservative and robust management of Pacific rockfishes because of naturally low population growth, the overfished state of many of the stocks, and complex nature of the mixed-stock fisheries (60-plus species). The AFS recommends that catch information be collected on a species-specific...
Fine and gross motor skills are essential for healthy development. Studies suggest that children in lower socioeconomic status (SES) families present a delay in these essential motor skills and, therefore, are at risk for poor motor skill development.This study aimed to correlate fine and gross motor skills with family socioeconomic...
In June 2009, wilted hop bines were observed in a yard in Marion County, OR. The wilt was associated with a stem rot that occurred ∽1 m from the ground near the point where bines are tied together for horticultural purposes. Samples of affected stems were submitted to the Oregon...
Through its role in the energy and water balances at the land surface, soil moisture is a key state variable in surface hydrology and land-atmosphere interactions. Point observations of soil moisture are easy to make using established methods such as time domain reflectometry and gravimetric sampling. However, monitoring large-scale variability...
A high-resolution primitive equation model simulation is used to form an energy budget for the principal semidiurnal tide (M₂) over a region of the Hawaiian Ridge from Niihau to Maui. This region includes the Kaena Ridge, one of the three main internal tide generation sites along the Hawaiian Ridge and...
Nitrate concentrations, chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence, radiance, salinity, and
temperature were measured on the Hawaii Air-Sea Logging Experiment, A Long-Term
Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment (HALE ALOHA) mooring located near the Hawaii
Ocean Time-Series (HOT) Program’s Station ALOHA (22°45’N; 158°W). Nitrate
concentrations were determined with OsmoAnalyzers deployed at depths of 120...
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...
Hyperspectral images were taken from March till October, 2018, of southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis), SWWP, seedlings of ten different seed-source families. Half of the seedlings were inoculated with white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola). Visual assessments of vigor coincided with hyperspectral data acquisition.
The aim of the experiment was...
