These data set includes calibrated predictions of Depth, Velocity and Shear Stress for seven discharges (0.4 to 3.4m^3, equivalent to 0.12 Qbf to Qbf) at Oak Creek using the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphological Evolution of Channels (FaSTMECH).
It is widely accepted that plate divergence at mid-ocean ridges drives mantle flow, mantle melting, and the formation of new oceanic crust. However, many of the details of this process remain obscure because of the inaccessibility of the mantle to direct observation. Thus, geodynamic models are needed to provide insight...
In society, labeling can play an important role in how people interact with one another every day. This research focuses on the relationship between internalization and deviance, two important concepts in Labeling Theory. The main question is, does the internalization of a label play a role, whether it be positive...
In this paper we outline a procedure we use for routine moment-tensor analysis of regional data from broadband seismic stations in northwestern North America and apply it to the moment magnitude 5.5, March, 1993, Scotts Mills, Oregon, earthquake. The results compare favorably with those obtained from teleseismic data. We found...
This paper explores the policy efforts dealing with the problem of declining Pacific Northwest fish runs. Results have been disappointing. Decades of expensive efforts costing billion of dollars have been relatively ineffective in increasing salmon runs. Many species of wild fish continue to decline or remain significantly below target levels...
The project (partially) described in this paper was the result of an attempt by the Navy to use software complexity metrics to assess the complexity of Naval avionics software. In particular, the project consisted of computing a variety of software complexity metrics for CMS-2M and AYK-14 assembler source code and...
Recent evidence has demonstrated the importance of kidney function in healthy aging. We examined the association between kidney function and change in cognitive function in 3,907 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study, recruited from 4 U.S. communities, and studied from 1992 - 1999. Kidney function was measured by cystatin C-based...
BACKGROUND: Whether limitation in ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) or gait speed can identify subgroups of elders in whom the association of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure with cardiovascular events and death differs is not well established.
METHODS: We evaluated whether ADL and gait speed...
Ontogenetic changes in resource use often delimit transitions between life stages. Ecological and individual factors can cause variation in the timing and consistency of these transitions, ultimately affecting community and population dynamics through changes in growth and survival. Therefore, it is important to document and understand behavioral and life history...
