Although the regulations are imperfectly enforced, logging firms in the Brazilian Amazon are subject to
forest management regulations intended to reduce environmental damage and protect future forest productivity.
Additionally, voluntary best practices firms adopt to achieve environmental performance that
exceed regulatory requirements are largely limited to reduced impact logging (RIL)...

This study presents potential Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for the Ash Creek watershed and designs several tools to assist localities in implementing the solutions they may choose. Ash Creek is a tributary of the Willamette River flowing through Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence in Polk County, Oregon. Currently, Ash Creek...
Four years ago, we noted that, although there was a widespread belief that the key to many ocean processes must be the communication of energy by internal waves, there had been little progress in definitely relating small‐scale processes to internal waves (Caldwell, 1983a). For example, although it seemed plausible that...
In a two part thesis, studies were made of two
different types of structure-activity relationships.
The first part consists of the synthesis and biological
evaluation of a number of 4-substituted pyrazoles and
isoxazoles as inhibitors of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
In an effort to better define the steric and electronic
effects...
Launch uncertainties in uncontrolled direct fire projectiles can lead to significant impact point dispersion, even at relatively short range. A model predictive control scheme for direct fire projectiles is investigated to reduce impact point dispersion. The control law depends on projectile linear theory to create an approximate linear model of...
In a discussion of the turbulence characteristics of patches of 'microstructure' in the ocean, the hypothesis advocated by Gibson (1982), that the patches are produced by very rare but extremely powerful turbulence-generating events which usually have 'fossilized' before their observation, is contrasted with the hypothesis of a turbulence field driven...
The study comparatively analyzed salient components of the
counselor education process of training programs which are accredited
by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the
Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational
Programs (CACREP). The data of this study were obtained by a Likert
type survey...
Researcher innovation and leadership skills are fundamental to create implementable solutions to pressing societal- and market-based global problems. The Research to Innovation to Society
(R2I2S) program is a transformative approach to graduate education, training students at the intersection of research, innovation, and leadership. We detail the design of the program,...
