Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay
processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the
77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of
¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...
The southwest monsoon, which may be idealized as the northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone in the Indian Ocean associated with differential heating of land and ocean, brings a seasonal reversal of currents and winds in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Atmospheric convection from monsoon activity...
Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications.
Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks.
To predict future...
At the Siuslaw Estuary or some adjacent areas, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Biologists John Annear, John Cornely, and Roy Lowe conducted 67 censuses; Maureen Woolington made 90 censuses, and Range Bayer completed 429 censuses. Unfortunately, these censuses do not give a complete picture of the seasonality, abundance,...
Experiments were carried out to study the movement of water and
halide anions in perched water tables or saturated zones in the soil
and upper rock mantle of eight different experimental sites located
on low hills near the western border of the Willamette Valley. At each
site the experimental procedure...
The interaction of magma with continental crust at convergent margins is fundamental to
understanding if and how continents grow. Isotopic and elemental data constrain the
progressive stages of development of the magmatic underpinnings of the long-lived
Aucanquilcha Volcanic Cluster (AVC), situated atop the thick continental crust of the
central Andes...
