Atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by approximately 40% since preindustrial times from 280 ppm (parts per million) to 400 ppm. The rise in Pco₂ is causing the ocean to become more acidic due to the uptake of carbon dioxide by the water, termed “ocean acidification”. As the Pco₂ in the...
Coastal communities rely on the abundant ecosystem services derived from robust conservation areas in offshore marine waters (Campbell, 2019). United Nations member states support the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework, wherein the 14th guideline asserts the importance of life under water. Protected marine environments are critical to the survival of...
A trawling survey was conducted on Nyanza Gulf, Lake
Victoria, East Africa during March-December 1975 to investigate
association and distribution of the major fish species
and to provide information for management of the fishery.
A total of 139 sites was sampled and all fishes caught were
counted, measured, and weighed....
This thesis addresses the issue of comfortable and functional living environments to provide seniors with opportunities for "age in place," that is, living in one's own house after retirement. Such living environments enhance seniors' life satisfaction since the majority of seniors prefer to stay in their own houses and live...
The research evaluated the remodeled lobby and reception office of the Linn- Benton Housing Authority, Albany, Oregon. Programming goals identified five needs: protect client privacy, provide for orderly queuing at the reception counter, decrease contact time between clients and staff, and improve reception office for attention focused tasks and for...
Previous research suggests that little is known about female
mentoring relationships, particularly among undergraduate students.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate mentoring
relationships experienced by female undergraduate merchandising
management students. The investigation included the overall
prevalence of mentoring experiences, the specific kinds of mentor
roles, the prevalent...
Ocean acidification disrupts marine and coastal ecosystems’ carbonate chemistry, directly and indirectly affecting communities that depend on critical marine organisms. Ocean acidification research typically seeks to understand natural system responses; yet there is insufficient research that examines community and institutional responses or, more generally, their vulnerability to ocean acidification. This...
This paper examines how six online multiclass text classification algorithms perform in the domain of email tagging within the TaskTracer system. TaskTracer is a project-oriented user interface for the desktop knowledge worker. TaskTracer attempts to tag all documents, web pages, and email messages with the projects to which they are...
