As indicated by the title, this thesis generalizes the Main Inertia
Theorem of Ostrowski and Schneider [8]. The first three results
concern the formation of a polynomial function f(A, A*, H) so that
the existence of an hermitian H for which f(A, A*, H) is positive
definite is a necessary...
The distribution of adult Pacific herring (Clupea harengue
pallasi) near Auke Bay, Lynn Canal, southeastern Alaska, varied by
depth and geographic area over 24 successive months during 1973-75.
From June through September, schools concentrated at 5- to 37-m
depths where zooplankton was abundant, and moderate currents were
present in a...
This manual provides guidance on creating subject heading proposals for Indigenous topics that can be submitted to the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) for addition to the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
The major objectives of this study were an
evaluation of the Meteorological Office Rainfall and
Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) evapotranspiration
(ET) model using the Penman-Monteith equation and
comparison of the MORECS and measured surface resistance.
Meteorological, soil and plant parameters were measured in
an alfalfa field over two growing seasons....
This thesis has four main results. First we find a reduction form
for symmetric matrices over fields of characteristic two. This result
parallels the diagonalization theorem for symmetric matrices over
fields of characteristic not two.
Secondly we reduce our reduction form to a canonical form in
perfect fields of characteristic...
Columbia Glacier, Alaska’s most rapidly retreating body of ice, provides a compelling insight into the fragile state of tidewater glaciers worldwide. Catastrophic retreat of the glacier’s terminal ice margin began in 1978 when contact was lost with its stabilizing terminal moraine shoal. Since this time, Columbia Glacier has lost ~20...
