The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...
Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....

The capacity of a vibrating solid to convert its mechanical energy of vibration into heat is called internal friction. Its most common manifestation is the damping effect which causes loss in vibration amplitude of a freely vibrating solid. The damping is a result of the anelastic behaviour of materials. This...

Most existing flow visualization techniques focus on the analysis and visualization of the vector field that describes the flow. In this paper, we employ a rather different approach by performing tensor field analysis and visualization on the gradient of the vector field, which can provide additional and complementary information to...
A growing number of nonmetropolitan communities have chosen to pursue
nontraditional avenues for economic development including the promotion of the
nonmetropolitan area to older adults who may choose to migrate after retirement. The
purpose of this study was to help community leaders in nonmetropolitan areas make
informed decisions if they...
"The topic of market failure is rarely addressed in the literature. This report represents a starting point. It describes the dynamics of farmers' market startups, closures, and manager turnover. It focuses on two important resources--administrative revenue and labor--used by farmers' markets. Data for a sample of markets that failed are...

This report documents and summarizes several decades of work on sage-grouse populations, sagebrush as habitat, and sagebrush community and ecosystem functions based on the recent assessment and findings of the USFWS under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. As reflected here, some of these topics receive a greater depth of...
This tutorial discusses one of the oldest problems in computing: how to search and retrieve keyed information from a list in the least amount of time. Hashing - a technique that mathematically converts a key into a storage address - is one of the best methods of finding and retrieving...
This publication describes the parasites most commonly found in sheep and goats and outlines methods for idenitfying, testing for, and treating parasite infestations.

Observations between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermostor
chain in the North Pacific. Despite the rapid vertical variation
of buoyancy frequency, spectra of isotherm displacements are in fair
agreement with other observations and with the Garrett-Munk model. The
spectra show evidence of a shoulder and...
Beginning in 2020, the International Maritime Organization International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) required vessels to comply with new sulfur air emission standards in Sulphur Emission Control Areas (Baltic Sea, North Sea, and off the coasts of the US and Canada) by: 1) using 0.1% sulfur...
This work introduces a new methodology to design transportation fuels offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions, aimed to complement both traditional and emerging engine technologies. Many of these emerging technologies are centered around exploiting low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies that offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions. However, a standardized fuel...
