The classical two-dimensional wavemaker problem is formulated for
linear waves. Two conformal mappings are applied to the mathematical
formulation to transform the wavemaker problem into a unit disk. It is then
shown that this technique cannot produce in practice a numerical
representation of the fluid motion throughout time for any...
Scholars promote the ability of visual imagery to have a number of political campaigning benefits such as influencing opinions and attitudes and encouraging vibrant, striving democracy while improving the quality of public knowledge and opinion. However, previous research on this subject has failed to identify how presidential candidates display their...
The Miridae, or plant bugs, associated with noble fir, Abies
procera Rehd., are discussed. Thirty six species of the Miridae were
collected from noble fir. Twenty five of these species are considered
only "visitors" to noble fir. The study does not deal with these
species. Noble fir is a host...
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of baking to reduce bacterial populations (an unknown contaminant or Salmonella) in cookie dough. Baking conditions (time and temperature parameters) were selected based on conditions commonly used in industry. The first study (Chapter 2), “Baking as Validation for Control of Coliform Counts in...
Forest understory vegetation is influenced by broad-scale variation in climate, intermediate-scale variation in topography, disturbance and neighborhood interactions. However, little is known about how these multi-scale controls interact to influence observed spatial patterns. We examined relationships between the aggregated cover of understory plant species (%C[subscript U]) and multi-scale controls using...
The aim of this work is to estimate the supply elasticity of the fish regarding the variationsin one of the
most important running costs (fuel cost) for the Galician fleet in the Celtic Sea. The Spanish fleet involved
in the Celtic Sea fishing grounds, also known as the _300 fleet_,...
