Local property-owning residents maintain high levels of interest
and awareness regarding a neighboring natural resource complex.
Factors, however, such as proximity, personal interests, use patterns
and economic considerations cause local inhabitants to have an
inaccurate perception of the natural resource complex. The nature
of local resident perception can be analyzed...
Joseph Reddeford Walker conducted
a party of men across the Sierra Nevada to the
Pacific coast of California in 1833. Previous
interpretations of the portion of the route
from Humboldt Sink, Nevada, to the San Joaquin
River, California, are not satisfactory. A
body of descriptions of the terrain traversed
exists...

The Horseshoe Gulch area includes 16 square miles in the
Eastern Paleozoic Belt of the Klamath Mountains geologic province
north of Callahan, California. Fossiliferous Late Ordovician and
Silurian limestones and unfossiliferous greywackes, arkoses, shales,
mudstones, schists, and phyllites, and other terrigenous clastic
rocks are exposed in a broad fault zone...

We tested closure between in situ radiometric and absorption coefficient measurements by using a nearly backscattering-independent remote-sensing reflectance model that employs the remote-sensing reflectance at three wavelengths. We show that only a small error is introduced into the closure model when the proper functional relationships of f/Q and the backscattering...

Tree invasions have been documented throughout Northern Hemisphere high elevation meadows, as well as globally in many grass and forb-dominated ecosystems. Tree invasions are often associated with large-scale changes in climate or disturbance regimes, but are fundamentally driven by regeneration processes influenced by interactions between climatic, topographic, and biotic factors...

We propose generalized additive partial linear models for complex data
which allow one to capture nonlinear patterns of some covariates, in the presence
of linear components. The proposed method improves estimation efficiency
and increases statistical power for correlated data through incorporating
the correlation information. A unique feature of the proposed...

There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...
