Programming style is important for program understanding in programming tasks such as maintenance. testing, and debugging. The goal of programming style is to improve the readability of the source program without adversely affecting its performance.
Critique is a FORTRAN source program style critic which analyzes the source program and outputs...
Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation),
but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly
across large spatial scales...

The aerobic biotransformation pathways of 4:2, 6:2, and 8:2 fluorotelomer thioether amido sulfonate (FtTAoS) were characterized by determining the fate of the compounds in soil and medium microcosms amended with an aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) solution. The biotransformation of FtTAoS occurred in live microcosms over approximately 40 days and produced...

The northern part of the Southeast Three Sisters quadrangle straddles
the crest of the central High Cascades of Oregon. The area is
covered by Pleistocene and Holocene volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks
that were extruded from a number of composite cones, shield volcanoes,
and cinder cones. The principal eruptive centers include...

The reason for the initial rise in atmospheric
CO₂ during the last deglaciation remains unknown. Most recent
hypotheses invoke Southern Hemisphere processes such
as shifts in midlatitude westerly winds. Coeval changes in
the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are
poorly quantified, and their relation to the CO₂ increase is
not...

Microbial communities mediate the biogeochemical cycles that drive ecosystems, and it is important to understand how these communities are affected by changing environmental conditions, especially in complex coastal zones. As fresh and marine waters mix in estuaries and river plumes, the salinity, temperature, and nutrient gradients that are generated strongly...

The thesis area is located in north-central Oregon approximately 20 km west of the town of Mitchell. The rocks exposed in the area belong to the Clarno Formation. This study supports the informal reclassification of the Clarno to Group status, composed of an Upper and Lower Clarno Formation. An angular...

Monthly temperature and precipitation data from 41 global climate models (GCMs)
of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) were compared to
observations for the 20th century, with a focus on the United States Pacific Northwest
