The relationship between annual growth in the catches of fishing nations and the quality of the institutions of those nations is analyzed. Catch volumes are used as a proxy for development, since economic performance indicators based on a common set of definitions do not exist. 49 major fishing nations were...
The integration of satellite image data with forest inventory plot data is a popular approach for mapping forest vegetation over large regions. Several methodological choices regarding spatial scale, mostly related to spatial resolution or grain, can profoundly influence forest maps developed from plot and imagery data. Yet often the consequences...
Prevention of wellbore CO₂ leakage is a critical component of any successful carbon capture, utilization, and storage program. Sporosarcina pasteurii is a bacterium that has demonstrated the potential ability to seal a compromised wellbore through the enzymatic precipitation of CaCO₃. Here we investigate the growth of S. pasteurii in a...
Extensive first-pass metabolism of ingested bisphenol A (BPA) in the gastro-intestinal tract and liver restricts blood concentrations of bioactive BPA to < 1% of total BPA in humans and non-human primates. Absorption of ingested BPA through non-metabolizing tissues of the oral cavity, recently demonstrated in dogs, could lead to the...
By inverting EarthScope long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data from the southeastern United States (SEUS), we obtain electrical conductivity images that provides key insights into the geodynamics of this region. Significantly, we resolve a highly electrically resistive block that extends to mantle depths beneath the modern Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces....
A table containing data from random sampling plots in 87 randomly located aspen stands in northern Yellowstone, repeating measurements by Painter et al. (2014). Stands were relocated using GPS coordinates from 2012. Each stand contained one plot 2x30 m, extending from the live, dead or fallen tree nearest the GPS...
Historical forest harvesting practices were reviewed in the original Alsea Watershed Study where they found increased energy
loading to the stream and produced higher stream temperatures. This was an important early research site that led to the
development of contemporary forest management practices to protect water quality and fish habitat...
This dataset contains records of identified benthic and aquatic emergent invertebrates from pre-timber harvest, post-timber harvest, and reference (no harvest) collection sites in the Hinkle Creek watershed. A variety of fish-bearing tributaries, fishless tributaries, and mainstem creek sites were sampled. Benthic invertebrates were collected using Serber nets and emergent adults...
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of premixed, three-dimensional, turbulent toluene/air flames, using the multicomponent and mixture-averaged diffusion models. In particular, this dataset contains information about diffusion flux angles and magnitudes. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the associated...
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of premixed, three-dimensional, turbulent n-heptane/air flames, using the multicomponent and mixture-averaged diffusion models. In particular, this dataset contains information about diffusion flux angles and magnitudes. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the associated...
