There has been little empirical analysis of technical efficiency for commercial fisheries in Victoria. This study examines technical efficiency in the Victorian Abalone Fishery with an input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) using panel data for the period from 1978/79 to 2009/2010. The influence of factors affecting technical efficiency is analysed...

In the Pacific Northwest snow is an important
natural resource. The inability to accurately measure or
monitor this resource throughout remote areas is a hindrance
to water management. ERTS-1 imagery provides the capability
for extracting a significant amount of scientific information
and data regarding snow conditions in accessible and inaccessible...

The Lateral Lake Area is located 30 km northeast of Dryden in
Echo and Webb Townships in the District of Kenora in northwestern
Ontario. The area has been the focus of molybdenum exploration
since 1906. Most exploration and development has been centered
on the Pidgeon Prospect in Echo Township. Although,...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Paul McCarter for the degree of
Devonian carbonate rocks of the southern Hot Creek Range reflect a shift to the east of the carbonate shelf edge and a progressively deeper-water lithotope from late
Early Devonian to early Middle Devonian time. Lower Devonian mudstones of the McColley Canyon Formation were deposited on an open shelf, dolomitized, and...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
John Paul Graham for the degree of
Acquisition of divergent-productive thinking skills by using
elementary science materials constitutes the basic idea of this experiment.
The data collected was used to determine statistically if
the materials had a significant role in inducing such skills.
The Ss were fifth-grade students obtained from two public elementary
schools in Oregon. Those...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
JOHN PAUL HUNTSBERGER for the
Rocks south of the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT) in Swat,
Pakistan consist predominantly of Precambrian to Paleozoic
granitic gneisses and metasedimentary rocks that represent
the deformed and metamorphosed northern margin of the Indian
subcontinent. In the Karakar Pass area the rocks are divisible into three lithologic units: the Swat granite...

in Geology presented on May 16, 1985
Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most
animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that
account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for
many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...

Ocean circulation is an important component in Earth's climate system. Predicting future climate and circulation changes requires an improved understanding of the past relationship between climate and ocean currents. The neodymium isotope composition (εNd) of water masses is frequently used as a quasi-conservative tracer to reconstruct ocean circulation. The current...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF
April N. Abbott for the degree of Doctor of
Gas hydrates, pervasive in continental margin sediments, are expected to release methane in
response to ocean warming, but the geographic range of dissociation and subsequent flux of methane to
the ocean are not well constrained. Sediment column thermal models based on observed water column
warming trends offshore Washington (USA) show...
